[steve2470]

[uponit7771]

3. Nah, Red Don is owing this one m.. he meant it

[durablend]

4. And tomorrow he'll have never said that at all

By Sunday it'll be Joe Biden that was the one who actually said it.

Watch!

[Baitball Blogger]

5. No they weren't.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Is this THE BEST that Kellyanne and Jared could come up with ? ? ?

(Hey Donnie, take notes. This is how it's done . . . . . . )

[StarryNite]

7. What a lying sack of shit!

[Laelth]

8. "JUST KIDDING ..."

This is a well-documented first-line defense of low-level people with Cluster B personality disorders when they are called out on their antisocial behavior.

Call me unconvinced and unimpressed.

9. Did he have a 55 gallon drum of Lysol strapped on with a hose up his ass while saying it?

13. Sure it was, Donny - you betcha...

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Ok

Then it was incredibly stupid sarcasm! Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.

[C_U_L8R]

15. People are dying and he's lying about cracking jokes???

Resign immediately. Get the fuck out of our White House. Leave.

[dalton99a]

17. Yeah, he was being sarcastic:

[kskiska]

18. How come no one laughed?

[Marrah_Goodman]

19. Why does this dumbfuck not understand what video is?

Seriously...........

[Maeve]

20. No, he was just being stupid

That was nothing like "sarcastic" or "joking"--but he can't come out and say "That was a dumb thing to say" because the truth is not something with which he is on speaking terms.

[Caliman73]

21. If it was sarcastic, then what the reporter asked was valid.

People tune into the briefing hoping to get solid information that can help them. Is this really the time to be saying STUPID and sarcastic things?

If it was sarcasm, then he knows fuck all about comedy and sarcasm.

He is horrible at EVERYTHING

[bronxiteforever]

22. Remember when he "didn't make fun" of the disabled reporter

Trump launched into an impression of him, pointedly flopping his right arm around with his hand held at an odd angle while saying (in imitation of Kovaleski): “Now, the poor guy, you’ve got to see this guy: ‘Uhh, I don’t know what I said. Uhh, I don’t remember,’ he’s going like ‘I don’t remember. Maybe that’s what I said'”

“I have no idea who this reporter, Serge Kovalski [sic], is, what he looks like or his level of intelligence. I don’t know if he is J.J. Watt or Muhammad Ali in his prime or somebody of less athletic or physical ability. Despite having one of the all-time great memories, I certainly do not remember him. I merely mimicked what I thought would be a flustered reporter trying to get out of a statement he made long ago.”

Note. Kovaleski had covered Trump extensively while working for the Daily News from 1987 to 1993 and had interviewed and talked to the business magnate numerous times during that period.

24. good find nt

[dalton99a]

27. +1. Anyone who voted for him after seeing that video is just as sadistic and evil as he is.

29. I couldn't agree more.

23. "I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen."

What a fucking liar and a bad one at that, this time.

30. During a national briefing on a Pandemic, he claims to have been using sarcasm...

...which he saw no need to clarify in real time? If people all around the world took him literally at his word, which they did, what does that say about his judgement? Holding a grudge match on matters of life and death with reporters he doesn't like just to see what would happen? With sarcasm so poorly played that literally no one in the world didn't take him seriously? This is supposed to be his defense? Not only is it totally implausible but it is almost as horrific as the truth.

[crickets]

25. Nice try, liar. When is sarcasm ever appropriate at a WH briefing

that is supposed to be addressing issues regarding a pandemic that has killed tens of thousands of US citizens?

[Satch59]

26. Truly vile in all ways...

50k people dying is nothing to joke about and will hope ONE reporter will call him on it today and not let up and not care if they get tossed out of the room...enough!!

And when will ONE GOP person finally jump off this crazy train?? Every GOP up for election needs to be thrown out.

I know Brix and Fauci are needed to keep things somewhat in check...Fauci more, but really, when have they had enough?!

[Beringia]

28. How do his children keep their heads on straight with his nonstop lying

You would think his children would have fled him as soon as they could leave home and never look back.

[Laffy Kat]

31. Does he even understand what sarcasm sounds like or what it is? nt
