Dr. Birx making excuses for trump today

Br. Birx has jumped the shark. We're doomed.

Dr. Birx defends the President: When he gets new information, he likes to talk that through out loud and really have that dialogue and so that’s what dialogue he was having. I think he just saw the information at the time immediately.. and he was still digesting that information

everyday he would be able to get his brain wrapped around some of the info he doesn't understand but pretends to. He goes up to the podium with only a brief meeting beforehand and "wings it". How could this possibly go wrong?

Nope. That's ridiculous.

The real problem is that there is no official Court Jester that can make the right cracks without getting his or her head cut off rather than being fearful of recriminations from the Emperor. It took a little boy to point out that the Emperor was naked, as well.

Without calling him out in public and to his face, this is a prevarication and sycophantic behavior.

I am ashamed for Dr. Brix that she has come to that in her career. I certainly wouldn't want her to be my doctor.l

from the beginning she gets that dreamy smile on her face when he mentions her name and I'm just wondering if there isn't some reality teevee shit going on.

I'm probably mistaken but just really confused.

You are his enabler.

He is evil.

He doesn't give a fuck.

You should.

It appears you don't.

Is it worth it ???

Which is it Dr. Birx? Was he being sarcastic or digesting new "information"? You're almost as good a liar as he is. Sit down woman! You're not helping.

We all know someone like him. They will say things like, “have you thought about this?” “If you had only done xyz.” “I would have already solved this by garble garble garble.”

It’s disappointing that Birx is covering over his ineptitude.

So he was misunderstood by the press. No, no, he was being sarcastic. No, scratch that, he was just processing out loud.

Number 1 is just not true. He said what he said. Everyone heard it.


The other two still point to his fundamentally being unfit to be in any kind of leadership position. If it was sarcasm, then the idiot was sarcastic (to who and for what?) during a national press briefing where the object is to give scared Americans information they need to keep themselves safe during a deadly pandemic. If you can't figure out not to be a sarcastic dick during that time then you should not be in office. If he was processing information out loud, he was doing so, again, in front of a national audience looking for facts and information. If that is how he works then he needs to process information BEFORE the fucking press conference. If he can't figure out when it is appropriate to process ideas, then he should not be in office.


The bottom line is that Trump doesn't know how to act appropriately and should not be in office. He is either too stupid, Too much of an asshole, or too brain addled to be in charge of anything.

Today is was "sarcasm."

I can tell you, it was not sarcasm, when Trump is being sarcastic, there is no mistaking it. There is nothing subtle about the man.
