snip--"the Flesch-Kincaid reading test—showed that Donald Trump speaks at a fourth-grade level"


snip--" What the elites might not get is that Trump’s simple vocabulary is a huge part of his appeal to the two-fifths of Americans who back him. Fancy words and big complex thoughts don’t impress them. Meat and potatoes words do, and that’s Trump."

[crazylikafox]

17. still talking about himself

[underpants]

18. He literally sulked in.

[IcyPeas]

19. trump: get off the stage. isn't this the VP's job?

where is the vp?

[underpants]

22. Pence is within 6 feet just like the other five people on the stage.

[Thomas Hurt]

83. These are meant to replace his Touch Myself rallies he can't do anymore.

[dflprincess]

92. Exactly

Fortunately he's hanging himself with these.

[underpants]

20. Sounds like he's trying to be unifying. Thanked Gavin Newsome but only mentioned the state of NY

Now talking about Mexico and Canada.

[JHB]

21. Plenty of people realize that. It's just that you didin't!

[LaurenOlimina]

23. WE DON'T CARE...

What are you doing?!?!?

[spanone]

25. RACIST GOT TO RACE....CHINESE VIRUS

[IcyPeas]

26. oh great ben carson is there. yawwwwwn

[underpants]

27. Ben Carson looks sleepy

His just standing there makes me sleepy

[gldstwmn]

56. He always looks like that.

High on his own supply.

[Nay]

80. Agree. He always looks doped up to the gills. nt

[Newest Reality]

90. Rumor has it...

Rumor has it he got bored and performed a lobotomy on himself just to see what it was like. You can tell.

[nolabear]

28. He can't even get what he gets right right. Walmart.

They’re well stocked and doing all they can—great! It’s busier than Christmas! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[JHB]

29. The "religious leaders" he says.

He means just his fan club

[IcyPeas]

30. is this a repeat of yesterday? tax day? he said this yesterday.

[milestogo]

31. These doctors are standing behind me because I know more than they do.

[underpants]

42. Medicines help people who are sick or help people not get sick

Riveting.

[Nay]

85. Christ on a crutch, did he really say that?? (Sorry, I can't watch The Moron or

my blood pressure shoots straight up into the stratosphere.)

[underpants]

88. Yes he did

[JHB]

32. That's your wake-up cue, Ben

[rufus dog]

33. Wow look at the optics

Carson and the Doc can't even look up.

Reminds me of my youth. When playing on shitty teams, just looking at the ground when the coach went off.

[IcyPeas]

35. I like the optics:

the sign behind them says White Washing . lol

[EarlG]

86. Well would ya look at that...

[paranoid floyd]

137. Carson looks like he has a birthday hat on his head

[DonaldsRump]

226. Excellent! Took me a second! n/t

[Mossfern]

38. They look like

they've just been scolded - very morose.

[rufus dog]

45. Exactly

no motivation, usually when people make mistakes they will take a scolding and move on. If the leader is making the mistakes then you tend to look like Carson and the Doc.

Basically, I don't give a fuck what you are saying.

[Mossfern]

34. First time ever!!!

[lamp_shade]

36. When the question start I'll take the TV off mute.

[stonecutter357]

37. no thanks i would rather lick a subway poll .

[JHB]

39. "6th gear" is a scramble to get necessities becausae of poor planning...

...and nonexistent preparation from your so-called administration.

[steve2470]

40. Dr. Fauci needs to retire, he's being tortured

I cannot stand to look at his LYING FACE (Trump, not Fauci)

Fauci can go to work for CNN or MSNBC.

[crazylikafox]

47. His body language is extremely telling

He looks like he’s holding his hands down so he doesn’t reach up and strangle the asshole

[steve2470]

51. yes

I'm sure it takes all his strength to keep his mouth shut, as he hears the total BS.

[IcyPeas]

41. Does he read any of the reviews about his press conferences?

[lamp_shade]

43. I hope some reporters strapped on the old gonads this morning.

This would be a good day to ask some really tough questions.

[IcyPeas]

49. yes. tough questions like yesterday:

-- mr president what do you tell the people who are scared......

-- that your a very bad reporter

[JHB]

44. Try to pronounce it again, Donnie

[rainbow4321]

46. It's all "I've done it first, never done before

FFS. I I I I Me I I I Me

[JenniferJuniper]

[Ilsa]

50. "...he's been thrown into the swim of it..." ?

He's aphasic. Brain damage.

[JHB]

52. Yes, in November we'll celebrate a victory, but not the one you think

He rambled that for 15 minutes.

[underpants]

61. I almost went to sleep

[Blue_true]

218. What do you mean you almost fell asleep?

Isn't the sight of Pence's tongue whipping over Trump's ass like an anteater on steroids electrifying?

[IcyPeas]

58. watch trumps face

that's his "I'm really serious and smart and paying attention to every word the vp says" mask

[underpants]

68. His head was going down and he caught himself and stood up straight

[rufus dog]

59. And now the teams resident ass kisser steps up

How much TP is in the Pence house? You need the supply to wipe ass and another supply to wipe his brown nose.

[Mossfern]

60. Prayers making difference?

[IcyPeas]

64. yes. as in...

please god get them off the stage and put the experts on.

[demtenjeep]

203. my prayers are not working-they neither one have the enemy yet

that is only half my prayer

none of them are working as of yet

[IcyPeas]

62. fuck you pence? make a donation to a friggen church?

get off the stage

[underpants]

73. Heard on NPR last week. The average total of members in churches is 60-65

There are a lot of churches that rely on weekly donations.

Pence had to throw that out for the Trump worshippers

[snowybirdie]

65. This presser

is totally unnecessary. He and Pence just reciting word salad.

[underpants]

74. Nothing new

Except the part about Pence's staff member testing positive

[Turbineguy]

204. What was it?

His staff or his member?

[underpants]

208. LMFAO

[LovingA2andMI]

66. Church and State Much???

"I'm going to take a section to remind you, you can continue to make that donation," VP Mike Pence - while talking about churches giving online services.

WTHeck? From the White House podium???

[LiberalFighter]

67. They wasted nearly 20 minutes saying nothing that wasn't already known.

[dflprincess]

69. Did I just hear Pence say

The governors are putting all the recommendations from the presidents plan into effect?

[LiberalFighter]

70. Pence is letting everyone know what the next speakers will be talking about.

Stupid

[Mossfern]

71. I should record this in case

I have insomnia tonight.
Nothing new.

[LiberalFighter]

72. Pence thinks people are electively deciding not to have elective surgeries?

What a fucking idiot.

[IcyPeas]

75. he always reminds me of johnny carson

(except johnny carson was funny)

[LaurenOlimina]

76. So don't get tessted if YOU don't have symptoms, but me...

Well my wife and I are getting tested...

Jesus Christ Mike Pence.

[snowybirdie]

82. Great catch!

No wonder intelligent people don't believe a word they say!

[HoosierDebbie]

200. Exactly!

They say, if you don't have symptoms, don't get tested. Unless you are in a unique position like he is. Ivanka also got tested. Did she have symptoms? Probably not, but she does have a unique position.

[underpants]

77. Every American has followed Trump's directives???

Oh. Trump is just that powerful and significant

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

78. Pence trying to convince us

He is not a potted plant

And failing

[Mossfern]

79. Pence inspirational story

about a very senior lady recovering.

[underpants]

81. Trump just standing there waving people to speak. MUST STAY IN CAMERA FRAME.

Oh uh Fox News briefly cut Trump out of the picture for a graph.

[rufus dog]

84. Nice - throw up a chart proving that testing just started

After claiming tests were available weeks ago.

[IcyPeas]

87. he said "the great american healthcare system/industry" twice

yeah, it's great if your rich or a celebrity.

[Mossfern]

89. Fauci speaks

in a more animated and interesting manner.
He doesn't seem like a zombie.

[5X]

91. They keep touting the states response as if they are responsible,

they are, because the feds are doing nothing.

[IcyPeas]

93. why is trump even there? he's just waiting to get questions from the reporters

this is his new rally. he is not needed to answer questions.

[JHB]

95. So the camera stays on him, of course

Why do you think the camera isn't centered on the podium?

[madamesilverspurs]

94. Trump is wearing

what he thinks of as his "Churchill" face. While wobbling like a weeble.

Ye gods.


.

[JHB]

96. Combo of weeble and figit spinner

[IcyPeas]

98. weeble

[hlthe2b]

99. I call it his "sad sack" face. He thinks it makes him looks "strong." I think it makes him look

like the pathetic moron that he is.

[JHB]

97. "Q: what if you've lost your job"

T: Keep collecting your paycheck.

[underpants]

102. Yeah I was just about to post that. He doesn't think people will lose their jobs.

He has to stay positive. Anything slightly negative reflects on him

[JohnnyLib2]

107. Quote of the day.

[SCantiGOP]

223. yes, keep collecting your paycheck

Just don't forget the facemask and gun when you go to pick it up.

[IcyPeas]

109. where is the token female today? dr. birx?

[underpants]

114. He has Carson

Close enough.

[JohnnyLib2]

121. Y'know; this "team" could easily anticipate and answer that question.

They don't. Another type of incompetence.

[JHB]

110. No matter how I fiddle with my screen settings...

...Pence's lips look orange. Everything else looks ok.

Wonder why that is?

[JHB]

116. He's talking again. Sound is odd too.

I keep hearing kissy noises. Seems to be associated with orange intensity.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

202. A little heavy breathing, too. CV or just excitement?

[underpants]

111. He's suggesting recycling masks? Fauci says there are CDC guidelines.

[steve2470]

Informative news conference from NJ Gov. Murphy.

[Paladin]

143. About fucking time they walked away from these daily shit-shows.

They are nothing more than trump campaign rallies---he can't do the Hick Nuremberg shout-outs any more, because of health concerns, hence the daily "health updates." Fuck the whole bunch of them.

145. Virus Drug Touted by Trump, Can Kill With Just Two Gram Dose

The drug touted by the U.S. President Donald Trump as a possible line of treatment against the coronavirus comes with severe warnings in China and can kill in dosages as little as two grams.

China, where the deadly pathogen first emerged in December, recommended the decades-old malaria drug chloroquine to treat infected patients in guidelines issued in February after seeing encouraging results in clinical trials. But within days, it cautioned doctors and health officials about the drug’s lethal side effects and rolled back its usage.

154. Ah, the Ein Volk News network.

[IcyPeas]

158. OAN is worse than Fox.... think about that

[SCantiGOP]

225. Much, much worse

Fortunately, they are carried on very few cable outlets, but trump has mentioned them several times when talking about how bad FOX is becoming when FOX actually behaves somewhat like a real network for 5 minutes.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

155. He loves her question, her writing, & how the fake media abuses him. Oh he loves her.

164. Q: "When did you learn?"

T: "Look it up".

[underpants]

165. When did you first know this was going to be a problem?

Trump: as soon as I knew I started the closings.

[Mossfern]

170. Still obfuscating

[dpibel]

171. Wow. He gave away the scripted question game.

In the middle of a ramble, he pointed to a reporter and said, "I think you're gonna ask about the China responsibility."

I guess it's just his superjeenyus clairvoyance in action.

[IcyPeas]

175. I heard that too? WTF?

173. Ventilators are machines.

[IcyPeas]

178. are they beautiful machines?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

201. He slowly walked away, hunched over, like an old broken piece of shit. nt

[underpants]

196. Yes. He's gone. Kelley O'Donnell's question did him in.

Skulked Out.

She asked "Is anything you are telling us actually getting done?"

[CanonRay]

198. Why doesn't somebody ask Pence why

he and Mother are being tested if they're not showing symptoms. Thought those were the rules.

[IcyPeas]

205. see my post 145.

[sop]

207. Lies, lies, lies...nothing but lies!

[IcyPeas]

209. Doesn't pence feel diminished?

he is supposed to be the head of this task force, but trump totally takes over. we don't need both of them..... especially the orange one.

[underpants]

211. No screen time for Trump?
