"We are very prepared to handle it." - Donald Trump

No, he's not!

He's not prepared to handle shit!

(That was his response when asked about the corona virus returning in the fall)

4. "Whatever happens, we're totally prepared." - Donald Trump, 2/26/2020

February 26, 2020

Q Mr. President, the CDC said yesterday that they believe it’s inevitable that the virus will spread in the United States, and it’s not a question of “if” but “when.” Do you agree with that assessment?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I don’t think it’s inevitable. It probably will. It possibly will. It could be at a very small level or it could be at a larger level. Whatever happens, we’re totally prepared. We have the best people in the world. You see that from the study. We have the best prepared people, the best people in the world.

Congress is willing to give us much more than we’re even asking for. That’s nice for a change. But we are totally ready, willing, and able. It’s a term that we use. It’s “ready, willing, and able.” And we have — we have — it’s going to be very well under control.

Now, it may get bigger, it may get a little bigger. It may not get bigger at all. We’ll see what happens. But regardless of what happens, we are totally prepared.

5. You know how to tell when Trump is lying?

His lips are moving.

He is a blowhard. Everything out of his mouth is a lie followed by illusions of grandeur. Someone at some point needs to point out to him if he has got to toot his own horn that much, it means no one else thinks he is as great as HE thinks he is. It means he sucks so bad that ONLY HE thinks of himself as great.

I'm so sick of his illusions of grandeur. The reality is so much worse than having NO leadership at all.

15. Sadly, it looks like 38% of the country (mostly in rural areas) think he is.

Unbelievable, but true.

After all the lies and the silly brags, and the failures, and the tens of thousands dead, 38% still think he's the Second Coming...

6. He Said That Before

He was wrong about it. No reason to think he'll be any more accurate this time, except...
People are more attuned on how to respond, no matter what PINO says.
Incompetence is a dangerous element in high office.

9. Indeed.

If it was just incompetence and he would listen to others for advice, we could handle that. But his incompetence is coupled with all these other negative traits, including the belief that he knows more than anybody else about everything.

11. I'll Buy That

But, I think incompetence in high office is directly coupled to the hubris displayed.
If someone with typical self awareness were under review, they're unlikely to always think they're the smartest one in the room, all the time, when it's unwarranted.
So, kind of part & parcel!

But we have survived incompetence before. Trump has a unique incompetence.

But I doubt that George W would have contradicted the scientists and the doctors during a pandemic?

8. When C-19 comes back in the Fall, the POS will accuse Biden of orchestrating an October surprise,

and claim Joe personally sent Hunter to bring back the disease from China to make him look bad.

13. Trump is all posturing and appearances...

Trump’s understanding of science and history is grossly inferior to that of a substandard high school student, so how could he be prepared for anything? He’s only adept at manipulating and tapping into the emotions of his base, who form a disturbing percentage of the population...
