Trump argues that governors who are imposing stay-at-home orders are just doing it to hurt him.

[kpete]

“I will tell you, you look at some cases, some people think they’re doing it for politics. Here we go again. But they think they’re doing it because it’ll hurt me, the longer it takes to — hurt me in the election, the longer it takes to open up.”

— President Trump, on Fox & Friends, arguing that governors who are imposing stay-at-home orders are just doing it to hurt him politically.

1. Everything has to be about him. What a narrow minded imbecile.

[Turbineguy]

6. That's only going to get worse.

2. Who didn't see that coming?

10. I don't think one could make a more despicable

statement as the one he made. Makes me sick to my stomach!

And watching people support the thing no matter how low he goes, is just deppressing.

[Solly Mack]

12. He knows his audience. They'll eat it up.

And they will be angrier when they "protest" governors who are trying to do the right thing.

It's all by design and, yes, despicable.

3. Wow. He really doesn't care a bit

about whether anyone dies or not. It’s all about him.

[Jamastiene]

4. If protecting the people of this country "hurts" him, then maybe

he is president of the wrong country. Maybe Putin needs a VP or a lackey or something. Go to Russia and ruin that, Trump, you selfish POS.

11. +++++++ Exactly

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. I don't expect anything else from a narcissist, but damn I'm so tired of hearing it.

[Permanut]

7. The blame list is growing..

The CDC
The Governors
The W.H.O.
The Chinese
The Democrats
Barack Obama
Dr. Fauci

Need to figure out how to get Hillary Clinton on the list.

8. Could he possibly be any more self-absorbed?

God, it's unreal! I have never seen anything like it. He really does not give a damn about anybody but himself. The fact that people are dying of this virus means nothing to him.

[Brainfodder]

9. Anything for money Republicans....

Super gross as ever inside and out!

I hope it's all destroyed.

They've earned it.

[Hortensis]

13. Good. The crazier and more self-involved he sounds, the better. nt

[JDC]

14. I, for one, am willing to not reopen until 2025

If it means it hurts Trump in any way.
