Trump Hijacks Dr. Deborah Birx's Coronavirus Presentation

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

During her presentation at the White House COVID-19 briefing on Saturday, Dr. Deborah Birx was cruising along until she waded into one of President Donald Trump and the GOP’s sorest spots: the Chinese government’s apparent undercounting of coronavirus casualties. As Birx, the White House’s coronavirus coordinator, explained a slide showing COVID-19 deaths per capita for various countries, China’s was marked with an asterisk at the very bottom.

Trump, standing on the sidelines, couldn’t help but interject. “Excuse me, does anybody really believe this number?” he said, interrupting an apparently startled Birx—who then wheeled around, smiled, and coolly explained she put China’s number on the chart to demonstrate “how unrealistic this could be.”

Though Birx tried to move on, Trump still couldn’t keep quiet. He soon interrupted her again, to make a similar point, this time on the numbers shown for Iran.

“Does anyone really believe that number?” Trump asked again. “You see what’s going on over there.” He then asked to return to the previous slide and walked over to the screen, hovering and pointing incredulously to China and Iran’s numbers.

Fat Ass can't stand not being the center of attention.

1. Does anybody believe Russia's number?

For that matter, does anybody believe our number of cases?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Worse than that. Sabotaging own statistic. He's done it before in other contexts in other years

The plan: get voters not believing anything.

Then they'll say "Do you know anybody who died? Who do you believe, yourself or the lying media?".

But it is going to backfire. Red hat areas are going to be blowing up in two weeks. By election day, red hatters will know dead people.

3. He questions stats that make him look bad; loves those that make him look good.

It’s really pretty simple.

4. The orange blob wants to direct attention away from

his own pathetic response, his criminally negligent response, by blaming others.

Doesn't matter what the numbers are in China or Iran - only an idiot would base their response for America on how authoritarian countries responded or the numbers coming out of those countries.

And he is basically saying if other people hadn't lied then he would have responded differently (which everyone knows is a lie), so it's not his fault.

Trump would not have acted any differently regardless of the circumstances.

Trump is a festering pustule of insecurities.
