(11,885 posts)Claiming the opposite of the truth and desperately trying to blame others and play he's the victim again now. He's lied , called this a hoax knowing it wasn't, using this as a weapon refusing to help some based on politics. He's promoted propaganda instead of facts,, denied being responsible for anything. Now in defiance of Congress says he'll ignore whatever he wants so he can personally profit fro the stimulus package. What he's doing should never be allowed , and the GOP are doing nothing to stop it now from him.

(5,432 posts)But every time I see Trump speak, he seems to become less relevant as someone you should listen to.
Less relevant as the leader of the USA.
Less relevant as a human being.
Less worthy of sitting in the White House.
Less worthy of consuming oxygen.
Might be just me, but I suspect not . . .

(10,667 posts)Why cant the media take a break and not televise his hate filled lie fest. Give air time to
doctors who are experts in the field of epidemiology.

(9,426 posts)according to him. How anyone can watch this fake is beyond me. I switch channels as soon as he shows up. Disgusting excuse for a president, or even a human. He is repulsive, and no matter what he says, he IS responsible for many deaths. A REAL president, with INTELLIGENT aides would have jumped on this virus news ASAP, to prevent it spreading to the US. Instead, he tried to do what he always does, lie his way out of it. The death toll is too high for this to be swept under the rug. It is bad enough being confined to the house, surely we can be spared the spectacle of the orange ass on TV, primping and preening, lying his anus shaped mouth off?

(12,509 posts)we could 'wake' him in the senate rotunda, after that waste of time is over, we can then have a funeral on a garbage barge tied up in the Potomac River, then have his infected carcass buried at dumping zone Zulu East off Norfolk by Easter. Let the crabs and sharks strip off the blubber. If cholesterol won't take him, then maybe the hoax virus can.

(35,364 posts)on his COVID19 team. He was saying yesterday how presidential Trump looked giving
his bullshit word salad speech yesterday. He says I don't understand what is going on because I watch the wrong news.
Faux News is the most dangerous single thing to our democracy they have people brainwashed. You talk to
any Trump supporter and the one common denominator they watch Faux and get BS from right wing internet sites.

(10,130 posts)China is 4.27 times the US in population.
The infection started there so they're about 2 months ahead of the US in timing.
They have 3,304 deaths.
They're going nowhere near 100,000 deaths
100,000 deaths from this virus will handily lead the planet - 90,000 more than Italy right now.
Of the industrialized nations, it is either the worst result or close to it.
And he's claiming to have done "a very good job"?
The media should be all over that claim.
It's one thing to let him off on the previous 20,000 lies.
But we should not be letting him get away with lying over the graves of citizens who mostly died because of how badly he handled this.
If Trump doesn't get the red states/GOP governors to smarten up, this is going way over 100,000 dead.

(35,364 posts)or 200,000 could die. So he is betting that anything under 200,000 he will be able to
take credit for saving us. There is some kind of twisted logic behind the crap he says everyday.
