Trump Has Totally Lost His Mind - This Quote Is Beyond The Pale

[kpete]

President Trump just now at the WH said: "Think of this: If we didn't do testing — instead of testing over 40 million people, if we did half the testing we'd have half the cases. If we did another — you cut that in half, you'd have yet again half of that."

1. even his dumbest followers must be scratching their heads..

[DeeDeeNY]

54. Actually it makes perfect sense to them

They worship the ground he walks on. Very scary but true.

[Faygo Kid]

74. +1

The cult will never question their Dear Leader.

[louzke9]

119. It makes PERFECT SENSE, if.....

you are doing your tax return. Report LESS EARNINGS, you PAY LESS TAX! See how that works?

[Hortensis]

120. :) Only his DUMBEST followers, willful and otherwise.

This stuff is painful to those who support him because they think they're getting some conservative advances and because the alternative, us, would be much worse. Majorities of conservatives have been wishing he'd shut up and close his phone from the very beginning.

[forgotmylogin]

77. "If you only count half your money, you're only half as rich!"

[hotdamn00]

82. Actually, I picture them scratching their asses. eom

[Skittles]

93. keep in mind they actually thought Trump would make a swell president

dumb as all fuck

[diverdownjt]

113. Keep in mind...They are not stupid...

Just willfully ignorant...and willingly submitted to nightly brain washing.

My Father(ret. LTC army)
My Mother(brilliant at everything)
My older Brother(mean as fuck but smart)
My older Sister(spent too long in Kansas w/1st husband)

All college educated....then I think they let their guard down and that's when they get
you...you get comfortable..a little less critical thinking going on...and suddenly you've
bought into it hook line and sinker. And it feeels goooood..all red white and blue and
stuff.

So me and my other older sister just keep it to ourselves...with the realization that
you can't break the bubble they're in...because they will just reconstruct it willingly
with the next broadcast.

[certainot]

118. authoritarians need certainty more than liberals and sex on the wrong brain explains

why and why they are drawn to the royal i'm-never-wrong certitude. authoritarianism is measured w/ the uncertainty avoidance index or UAI.

since nothing is certain they get stressed and scared (by disorder, chaos, non conformity, etc) and that motivates them to create certainty or accept it from others. simplification to absolutes helps them create it - they can judge the world in black/white, good/evil, etc. order and conformity reduce uncertainty and increase predictability, for instance.

they get good at denial and that's what limbaugh does so well - help authoritarians find excuses to rationalize the denial

trump got sex on the wrong brain really bad (like a lot of authoritarian leaders) and he simplifies the world for his followers, like limbaugh does - turns uncertainty into certainty

for a humorous/not so humorous explanation of trumpers ....."sex on the wrong brain" suggests it's caused by wrong handed masturbation, that human societies have been dominated by it, a variety of factors explain severity, and it may explain why 90% of humans are right handed.

[Skittles]

122. the man is a buffoon

he did not get those of us who were paying attention

l will never forgive Trump voters, they disgraced themselves and their country....the damage is incalculable

[Pepsidog]

129. Like Mary Trump said in her book, once he sucks you in you are stuck in his surreal world where the

only way out is to admit that everything that you believed in about him was tragically and devastatingly wrong.

[demigoddess]

133. there is two kinds of smart. One hears and remembers but doesn't think it out. I

call them regurgitators. The other kind of smart thinks about things and how they go together and whether it makes sense.

I have two gifted children and I researched gifted kids when they were young.

[Skittles]

141. did you read this

https://rappler.com/voices/thought-leaders/why-gifted-overrated

[demigoddess]

143. Don't get your message. If you are trying to say gifted isn't a real/good thing, I'd like to get

a look at your kids. I have a daughter with an IQ of less than 10 and two boys who tested in the 150 or so as children. Learning ability is not a myth. Teaching is important.

[Skittles]

144. it is overrated

[demigoddess]

145. jealous

[calimary]

136. Nope. They're probably fine with it. And unquestioning.

They don't know the difference anyway. And how could they? They're reinforced in their idiocy and bubble-world, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, by all the Pox Noise/hate radio propaganda that's reinforcing it.

[Mike 03]

2. I'm frankly beginning to doubt he can make it to November.

He's crashing, he's going down like a freight train into the Grand Canyon.

[leftieNanner]

29. Don't tease

[2naSalit]

45. I always expected it to be easier to watch but it isn't.

[klook]

116. LOL, what a great cartoon!

Gahan Wilson, genius.

[Rjymeena]

68. It seems like it does not matter if he crashes or not

I follow Trump on Facebook - I guess I am willing to lose my sanity on a daily basis.
I can’t believe some of the comments there for his posts. It’s mad following/devotion. To them it doesn’t matter what he does or doesn’t.
How do you debate or share your viewpoint when one shows that kind of following?

[iemitsu]

3. If we tested few enough we'd soon be at 15 cases,

Then 5, then 0. It will just ride away.

[leftieNanner]

30. That won't work at all

15 is an odd number and he wants to keep cutting it in half. So we can't do that with an odd number. Only an even number. To cut in half. See?

SMDH

[wnylib]

43. Just don't do any testing

and cut it straight to zero.

[SammyWinstonJack]

94. Wonder why the rest of the world didn't think of that.

[AZ8theist]

46. I'm POSITIVE Doturd could not explain the difference between even and odd numbers...

[leftieNanner]

49. He'll have that guy who took his SATs come back and explain it.

[AZ8theist]

50. LOL! Wonder how much he charges for that "service"?

[leftieNanner]

52. Well, he's dead

so I guess it would be "priceless".

[tblue37]

89. That guy died of non-Hodgkins lymphoma at age 52. nt

[leftieNanner]

91. I know - but thanks for the reminder

I was thinking that maybe his ghost would help.

[ThoughtCriminal]

102. But he understands Prime Numbers

Because all of his numbers are Prime. Only the Primest - believe me.

[AZ8theist]

111. Many people said so....

[Dem2theMax]

4. At least they have heads to scratch.

Us? Not so much.

[idziak4ever1234]

5. This is why I'm not getting a prostate exam. No test, no cancer.

[3Hotdogs]

115. Still working for me. And I'm 77 --- good for ass cancer, too.

[idziak4ever1234]

131. LOL!

[Nevilledog]

6. I wonder how many different power point presentations they've used to explain this.

He's just that dumb.

[unblock]

7. even ostriches are smarter than that.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. It's like a twisted Lewis Carroll riddle.

You know, like in Alice in Wonderland, but you don't learn anything from the math because it leaves out the benefit of contract tracing.

[Zoonart]

15. Double secret bullshit

[yardwork]

9. And nobody would be hospitalized. Poof. It would be gone.

[Chemisse]

62. He's going to take care of that little fly in the ointment tomorrow.

Trump admin has ordered hospitals to bypass the CDC & send all coronavirus info to database in DC

10. Zeno's Paradox

You can just keep cutting them in half forever and no one would EVER get sick!

[imanamerican63]

11. And there it is?

He aced the cognitive test too!

[Nevilledog]

14. If I was a reporter I'd hold up flash cards of different animals for him to identify.

[pazzyanne]

69. I have worked with 12 year old children who have aced the cognitive tests.

If the POTUS could not ace this test it would be alarming.

[Thekaspervote]

12. Yup! He recently surmised as some pointed out that a 1% death toll means 1 in 100!!

Just can’t make this shit up!!

[smirkymonkey]

13. I'm pretty sure his illogical stance has been explained to him numerous times,

yet he continues to double-down on his moronic insistence that less testing means fewer cases. Has there ever been a dumber world leader on the face of the earth?

[tanyev]

26. I bet it's ticking him off that nobody 'understands' him.

“It’s basic math!”

[OMGWTF]

44. It's basic meth.

[tanyev]

112. Heh.

[Eyeball_Kid]

33. He's got the meme down. He can repeat it in his sleep. Why change when he doesn't have to memorize

anything?

Fewer tests equal fewer cases. Simple. Actually he's right. But it's got nothing to do with the pandemic.

It also means that fewer testing results mean fewer cases mean MORE PEOPLE DIE AT HOME. But who's counting, eh?

[wnylib]

83. I don't think he's too dumb to

understand this. I think he knows that his followers are dumb enough to think that it makes sense.

[demigoddess]

134. no, he is dumb enough to think he is right all the time.

anyone who disagrees with him are wrong and stupid in his mind.

[spanone]

16. He's mentally deficient. 1000%

[Cha]

17. Remember trump's dad Fred had Alzheimer's in the "90s.

[jayfish]

24. What's The Excuse For The 30-40% Who Believe Every Word Of It? -NT-

[Cha]

27. It's a brainwashed cult. & I'm just speculating

about what's going on with the insane Monster Fuck.. besides sociopathic psychotic, narcissistic personality DISORDER.

[Eyeball_Kid]

37. What's left? Irritable Bowel Syndrome? n/t

[Cha]

101. & syphilis & gonorrea

[jcgoldie]

28. They don't believe it

He hates who they hate and the people they hate hate him more than anyone else... that's enough for them.

[Docreed2003]

36. Spot on assessment

He gives validation to their bullshit, bigoted, racist beliefs...that's all they care about

[uponit7771]

65. +1, Trump is an enemy to their threat (no--whites) that's all they care about

[Kaiserguy]

78. Fox News

Rush dimbulb plus the right-wing web sites.

[RockRaven]

18. Do we have to explain to Trumpist dumbfucks that testing isn't about keeping score, it is

used to make treatment decisions and allocate resources?

[jayfish]

31. Someone Needs to Pose That To Him In the Form of a Question. -NT-

[Andy823]

19. He is an idiot. nt

[malaise]

20. Check this

21. And if we didn't do any pregnancy tests, there'd be no babies!

By that logic, Donnie 2-Scoops sure has never taken an IQ test (since there doesn't appear to be any intelligence there!)

[moonscape]

64. If I didn't get bloodwork, I'd have no blood n/t

[Collimator]

126. This was my thought.

And considering how overpopulation tends to exacerbate every problem in the modern world, we could finally get make headway on all those problems by eliminating pregnancy tests.

[localroger]

22. To be fair, with Trump the Pale has been expanding faster than the observable universe. /nt

[chriscan64]

23. Someone should ask him

if a flea keeps jumping half way to the dog, will it ever get there?

[kentuck]

25. You could cut the tests to zero and you would still have the same number of sick people.

you just wouldn't know it.

Is that what Herr Leader would prefer?

[Eyeball_Kid]

41. YES!

He could kill even more people and no one would get alarmed. That would be a mass murderer's dream.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Dead People, Too

And, somehow I think that nearly 12x the deaths from swine flue might get some attention.

[yonder]

32. The great divider, divides.

[Totally Tunsie]

34. FOX chryon: "No plans to 'speed' with President XI."

Yeah, no thanks...Chump prefers to do his speed alone.

[NewJeffCT]

35. Lt. General Honore had a great response here

[moondust]

38. Hard to believe

that anybody over, say, 8 years old is that stupid.

[coti]

39. LISTEN: THIS IS HIS WAY OF TELLING HIS CULTISTS TO MANIPULATE THE DATA.

He doesn't actually believe it changes the number of cases. He is telling his people to throw out data or cut down on testing, whatever it takes to change the numbers.

[stillcool]

48. yup...he's talking to his peeps...

no more numbers.

[coti]

55. Right. It's the kind of talk Michael Cohen described in his testimony

He doesn't come out and say what he specifically wants people to do, he just describes the situation he wants to see- numbers going down-- and expects the bootlickers to just do it, legal or morally right or not.

[LaMouffette]

40. Trump: "Just imagine, no testing!"

"No testing for coronavirus, no testing for STDs, no having to pay someone smart to take your SATs, . . . what a beautiful world!"

[patphil]

47. So now we know.

It's the testing that causes the Coronavirus!

Boy, all this time we thought it was other people who already had the infection that caused more people to be infected.

So, lets immediately cease all testing. Bada bim, bada boom, the job is done.
Covid-19 is history!

Is Trump a great president or what?

What!!!

[3catwoman3]

51. I this is how well he understands numbers, no...

...wonder he has had so many bankruptcies.

[sop]

53. He did the same with the Chinese Tariffs lie forever, saying the trade war was putting billion$

every month into the US treasury, not costing the American consumer anything. No matter how many times economists explained how tariffs worked, Trump continued repeating the same bullshit at every opportunity. I used to think Trump was just a relentless and shameless liar, now it's becoming clear the imbecile actually believes this stuff.

[Grokenstein]

56. It's like his handlers read "1984" but jumped the gun.

Americans aren't quite at the point of passivity found in Big Brother's irrevocably broken society. Not yet.

[bringthePaine]

57. absolutely! and oops! I got your nose! now how many do you have? see?! 🤪

[yaesu]

58. his campaign rose garden speech is trending on twitter, I could spend hours reading remarks

he has really went off the deep end, MAGA=Make Another Grave Available

[aggiesal]

59. COVIDIOT! n/t

[keithbvadu2]

60. Stop checking immigration status... No need to build Trump's useless fence.

Stop checking immigration status
Get less undocumented immigrants

No need to build Trump's useless fence.

[dalton99a]

61. Kick

[ron dawson]

63. trump has totally lost his mind

Anyone wondering the logic of this, there can be only ONE:

EVERYTHING THAT P.O.S. HAS DONE ON THE COVID ISSUE HAS
CAUSED FURTHER SICKNESS AND DEATH.

IT'S INTENTIONAL.

[struggle4progress]

66. "If we shut down our 911 systems, we'd have less crime!"

[sop]

70. Someone should ask Trump why he's so opposed to defunding the police. Wouldn't that cut crime?

[pazzyanne]

67. Ahhh, wisdom from the "stable genius".

[pansypoo53219]

71. the ostrich solution! BRILLIANT!

[Ferrets are Cool]

72. Just imagine...this is the POTUS

Like it or not, THIS is the PRESIDENT OF THE FUCKING UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

SMFH in disgust.

[nature-lover]

73. No wonder he doesn't understand that China does not pay us for tariffs.

[AdamGG]

75. Hard to surpass injecting disinfectants and internal blacklights

There shouldn't have been any coverage of anything he said after that. The public would get more helpful information if the media trains their cameras on the squirrels on the White House lawn instead.

[Traildogbob]

90. Don't joke

Betsy and Amay are making billions on their disinfectant cleaner and concentrate bleach products. Laughing all the way to the islands, tax free.

[sop]

76. The logical conclusion to this line of thinking would be just to cancel he 2020 election.

In his mind, if Americans do not vote him out of office, then he cannot lose the election.

[rustysgurl]

79. So If I Declared Half My Income ...

... I would only pay half my taxes. Let's give that a try.

[flibbitygiblets]

80. If I stopped paying my bills, I'd be a millionaire! If police stopped arresting people, no crime!

Wow, why didn't we think of these simple solutions before!?

[jmg257]

81. Here's some math for u, dipshit...NY tested half as many people

In one day as Florida did, yet they had 1/22 the number of positives.

Try figuring out why.


Saturday:
Fla - 143,000 tests - 16000 positives
NY - 73,000 test - 700 positives

[marieo1]

84. dumber than a stump

DJT is dumber than a stump!!! Only an idiot would make such a stupid statement!

[Traildogbob]

85. Well then

If you don’t take the SAT, you can’t fail, no one would be illiterate. If only half of trumpets took the SAT, only half of them would be stupid.

[hadEnuf]

86. B-But all the tests are negative until you use them! It's those damn lying tests! Hoax! Hoax!

George Soros and Hillary must have rigged them all to turn positive just to make Trump look bad!

[Evolve Dammit]

87. Can we please 25th amendment this asshole NOW?

[Highway61]

88. OMG

WTF! Just when I think he can't outdo himself.........

[leanforward]

92. Idiot

[CaptainTruth]

95. So, if we stop arresting people we won't have any crime?

[bdamomma]

96. idiot boy

digging his hole bigger and bigger.

97. In related news, if you get rid of your scale, you will not be overweight.

[kairos12]

98. Chump accounting

If he dropped 20 dollars, and then picked it up, he'd say he just made 20 dollars.

[warmfeet]

99. And yet, he will still be on the ballot November 3rd.

Anyone else think he should be gone before then? Anyone else think their lives may depend on this?

Crickets? Okay.

[Marcuse]

100. We are all Schrodinger's Cat.

No hospitals filled with patients,
No covid19 in the sky.

Well, I'm not the only one,

[magicarpet]

106. He thinks it is like counting Democ"rat" votes.

The only way to win is to fudge, manipulate and suppress the numbers in your favor. Then you win and they lose because you are so smart, cunning, and deceitful.

Why do you think he wants the hospitals to report Covid data to HHS and no longer to the CDC ? trDumpie wants to doctor up the data numbers so it will look like he is doing a superlative job addressing the pandemic. A second term for trDumpie should go without any question or hesitation because he runs such a tight ship.

[Buns_of_Fire]

107. It's easy to see why he was such a resounding success as a casino owner. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

108. I wonder how many of his supporters think it makes sense?

"We could reduce traffic deaths to zero if we didn't count 'em! It's simple math!"

[backscatter712]

109. The most charitable explanation is that he no longer understands object permanence.

Can someone play a game of peekaboo with Trump to see if this is true?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

110. So that's why he kept stalking Hillary in that debate.

He didn't want her to disappear from the stage again. Lol!

[Nay]

123. Oh, god, you're right. He IS less intelligent than a toddler. Can someone tell me which

mental decline (Alzheimer's, frontal lobe dementia, Lewy body, etc.) has as one of its first symptoms that you no longer understand object permanence?

[Vinca]

114. I didn't listen to this fiasco, but according to news sources Dear Leader has completely lost it.

Apparently Trump said something about Joe Biden wanting to get rid of windows and suburbs. Huh?????? Even by Trump standards that's confusing.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

117. That's like saying one can eliminate breast cancer by not giving mammograms. n/t

[Wawannabe]

121. The prez teaching division

Hmmmmm.

That’s all he knows is division.

[SayItLoud]

124. Same logic as:

If we didn't investigate Russia for interference in our elections, there would be no interference in our elections by Russia.

[logosoco]

125. Someone with half a brain would have twice as much brain as tRump. nt

[Nitram]

127. This is what he's been saying all along. It was never a joke. He means it.

[flying_wahini]

128. And if you don't do a Pregnancy test then you can't possibly be pregnant.

[Dreampuff]

130. He has mentioned something similar several times.

If he thought he could get by with it, he would totally stop the testing. He recently made the reference to the original flawed tests being President Obama's fault and that isn't the first time he mentioned it. His morons probably don't think it through and totally believe him. He also stated that during the SARS virus, President Obama just stopped testing. I think he is once again dipping his toes into the pool to test the waters and if he can get by with it, there will be no more testing. And this while my area of the country is exploding with numbers.

[Progressive dog]

132. Trump is just repeating the same stupid ideas.

It is hard to understand how he has any followers left. Even the most ignorant Americans must be able to see through that BS. Their emperor has no functional brain.

[GetRidOfThem]

135. This!

This is a Sara Cooper moment!!!

[wendyb-NC]

137. He's in rough shape.

[llashram]

138. Installed by Putin or not

people voted for this idiot and will again from their hospital beds no doubt

[erpowers]

139. The Exact Opposite Could Happen

If there was no testing the exact opposite could happen. If there was no testing there would still be cases; we just would not know about the cases. As a result, you could end up with more cases because you could have people who are sick walking around passing this thing on to other people. Once people know they are sick they can stay home and not pass this thing on to others.

[Grins]

140. Just basic arithmetic. Did Joe Shapiro tell him that?

Just asking...

[bringthePaine]

142. c'mon, you know that's how he calculates his taxes...
