Wallace to Trump on coronavirus: "This isn't burning embers Sir, this is a forest fire."

[kpete]

WALLACE: But — but this isn’t burning embers, sir? This is a forest fire.

TRUMP: No, no. But I don’t say — I say flames, we’ll put out the flames. And we’ll put out in some cases just burning embers. We also have burning embers. We have embers and we do have flames. Florida became more flame like, but it’s — it’s going to be under control.

And, you know, it’s not just this country, it’s many countries. We don’t talk about it in the news. They don’t talk about Mexico and Brazil and still parts of Europe, which actually got hit sooner than us, so it’s a little ahead of us in that sense.

But you take a look, why don’t they talk about Mexico? Which is not helping us. And all I can say is thank God I built most of the wall, because if I didn’t have the wall up we would have a much bigger problem with Mexico.

1. I read this out loud and my dog just puked.

[LymphocyteLover]

6. LOL. I puked too!

[Ms. Toad]

2. Mexico -

Less than 10% of the cases we have.
Roughly one quarter of the number of cases we have per 1 Million in population

Yup. That's the key. Building - what - 3 miles of new fence really protected us from COVID coming in from Mexico.

[renate]

3. Did he really say he built "most of the wall"?

That’s a lie that maybe even some of his cult members might care about.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Isn't It More Like 20%?

And I think that's counting fence repairs where a barrier already existed.
The "genius" doesn't grasp that 20% is not most.

[KelleyKramer]

16. He built 3 miles of new fence

[ProfessorGAC]

18. That Worse Than I Thought

I knew a bunch of the work was just fixing broken stuff but did not recall it was that tiny a number!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Even what he built is just an upgrade of fencing already in place. I think 3 miles are brand new. nt

[Blues Heron]

4. "Florida became more flame like, but it's -- it's going to be under control. "

now watch this drive

[Faux pas]

5. The

hump has a pea brain the size of a pea.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. I'm Leaning Toward BB

I think pea is overstating!

[Faux pas]

23. Yep

Even better

[Midnight Writer]

9. He doesn't care. It is magical thinking. He thinks he can bullshit this virus away.

[durablend]

12. That's exactly it.

It's not that he's stupid, he figures if he keeps bleating that it'll just "go away", everyone will become jaded to and ignore it and he'll score a win. That's all he's worried about--a win.

[PatSeg]

20. Its even worse than that

He doesn't necessarily think it will "go away", he cares about perception, whether people believe it will go away. He lives in a PR world and he is always selling things don't actually exist.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

10. now your canpaign? that is burning embers after

your failed Tulsa rally superspreader event

[Talitha]

11. Absolutely NO grasp of reality...

[Karadeniz]

15. My reaction...

[Mr.Bill]

13. So he admits it hit other countries first

and still he ignored it. In fact, he wants to ignore it today.

[czarjak]

17. President "I Alone Can Fix It" needs Mexico to help? That's Hillaryous.

[Lonestarblue]

19. I wonder how much influence Wallace has with Fox viewers.

I can’t stand to watch Trump so akipped the interview, but the excerpts have clearly painted Trump as a liar.

[bringthePaine]

21. pure, utterly nonsensical weapons-grade Balonium

[gordianot]

22. He should have asked Trump if he will use a rake.

[Stuart G]

24. "We'll put out the flames" When? He has had plenty of time..and has not put out anything.

All Trump knows to put out are............LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES...!!!

[tblue37]

25. He built 3 miles of wall on a 2000 mile border. nt
