I'm picturing all kinds of possibilities. He was having a bad day and spilled his dinner on his pants. Had to change the pants at the last minute and because he was throwing temper tantrums, no one wanted to tell him he'd put on the wrong color pants. I agree that drugs and dementia could be contributing factors!

29. He just lied that only Germany has a lower per capita death rate in Europe than the US.
Sat Apr 18, 2020, 05:32 PM
Apr 2020

There are 44 countries in Europe. Only 10 European countries have a Covid-19 per capita death rate worse than us. So, in other words, 77% of European countries are doing a "better job" than us. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/


He lied that our testing is 64% higher than South Korea.

South Korea started developing COVID-19 tests before its first confirmed case. It was able to start manufacturing tests by early February, allowing it to test about 120,000 people per week by early March, and it implemented several social-distancing measures later that month, closing schools, borders, and banning gatherings of more than two people. By late March, Germany was testing over 300,000 people per week.

The US is now testing over 100,000 people per day. But as of April 13, the US still had fewer tests per 1,000 people than South Korea.

Though I honestly doubt you'll ever find yourself in a position where it would be appropriate, let alone one where you would know it.

That aside, people like you complain about networks broadcasting this shit while you're denying the OBJECTIVE FACT that networks broadcast what people WATCH.

This propaganda is being spread- by our own, liberal MSNBC, no less- because people like YOU are watching it, slackjawed, and using it as outrage fodder and, quite frankly, political gossip. You're destroying our political culture and helping to spread lies by not only gladly slurping up infotainment, but SHITTY, fascist infotainment- yes, what are effectively TRUMP RALLIES- AND encouraging others to do the same.

Ratings for lies = networks broadcasting lies more

Networks broadcasting lies more = damage to our political culture and country


You're contributing to the damage Trump is doing by watching it.
