Even if, in his own mind, he was being sarcastic, a briefing for a major global crisis is NOT an

appropriate venue for that sarcasm. SARCASM??? SARCASM when over 55,000 (at the very least ) of our own people have died? SARCASM when over two million people (at the very least) around the world have contracted it? It takes a very special level of sociopathy to be that f'n clueless. The orange thing in the WH is not doing even a passable imitation of a human being.

I do not recal even a single expression of regret or condolence to those who have lost loved ones.

1. I know sarcasm.

He was not being sarcastic. Liar.

[leftieNanner]

2. AHA! Finally!

The L word. Well done!

3. I call em like I see em

Lol.

7. Welcome to DU.

4. Right. Either way you define that performance, it was a fool as our President addressing a crisis.

5. I am very good at recognizing dark sarcasm.

I grew up with it and use it myself. That was NOT dark sarcasm. He really believed what he was saying or wanted to see how many people were either stupid enough or loved him enough to actually do it. Perhaps both.

6. Everyone knows it wasn't sarcasm. Quit giving him an out.

It was just another demonstration of his bottomless stupidity. His only version of sarcasm is making direct fun of someone and that’s not even sarcasm.
