Trump says coronavirus 'may not come back at all'

President Trump on Wednesday expressed confidence that the coronavirus will not hit the U.S. with the same severity if it returns in the fall, suggesting that the disease that has killed tens of thousands of Americans "may not come back at all."

The comments came as part of a broader diatribe against a Washington Post headline that he felt unfairly characterized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) warning that a second wave of the coronavirus could coincide with flu season.

"It may not come back at all," Trump told reporters during a White House briefing. "He's talking about a worst-case scenario where you have a big flu and you have some [coronavirus]. And if it does come back, it's not going to come back ... like it was. Also, we have much better containment now."

"Now, if we have pockets, a little pocket here or there, we're going to have it put out," he continued. "It goes out, and it’s going to go out fast. We’re going to be watching for it. But it’s also possible it doesn’t come back at all."

Why does duct tape come to mind...

[FarPoint]

1. This man needs the microphone turned off...

[NotHardly]

19. No... leave the mike on, it's evidence for the trial(s) in a Post-Trump world...

be sure to put it next to the other evidence from his own lying lips...

(1) "After the first cases appeared in Washington in January, the president insisted that the US had "pretty much shut [coronavirus] down" and said "it's going to be fine".

(2) A month later, he claimed that cases were "going substantially down, not up" just days before he number of confirmed infections reached 1,000.

(3) In late February, he claimed the virus "would disappear" as US infections reached 4,000, then slammed reports of the outbreak as part of a "hoax".

And all the rest so when he and his ilk are sent to prison for killing Americans because he and they refused science and expert advisement, we know exactly why he should spend the rest of his life in prison... and not one of the "luxury" versions either.

2. only thing not coming back

is fatnixon

✌🏼

[Iliyah]

3. RWers GAWD .. . ....

skipped a whole lot of brains.

[cayugafalls]

4. When it comes back he will say he never said that it would not come back.

So what is the point of even having a tape record?

He never take ownership of the sewage from his hole in the head.

[captain queeg]

5. Another tape for November.

The way he is running things it’ll never stop till there’s a vaccine. WTF is he talking about “comme back”? He thinks we’ve stopped it?

[jmowreader]

15. Will he allow a vaccine to be released, if one is created?

IIRC Trump is an antivaxer.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. We may never have another fire...

so kids can play with matches, fireworks are okay no matter how dry it is, who care who prevents forest fires and we don't need fire depts anymore.

[Glamrock]

7. Yeah....

[TeamPooka]

8. he also said 15 cases would go down to zero so maybe we should all just ignore him about this stuff

[turbinetree]

9. Okay doctor..............shit ......tell the population that same some shit sandwich in

lets say November.............he really is trying to deflect his BLOOD ON HIS HANDS rewrite................my wife's friend mother has this shit asshole..................

[llmart]

10. Outside of his braindead supporters...

does anyone else in this country believe anything this psycho says any longer?

"He's talking about a worst-case scenario where you have a big flu and you have some [coronavirus]. And if it does come back, it's not going to come back ... like it was." This statement alone would have anyone else put in a straightjacket or at the very least, drug tested.

[In_The_Wind]

11. Why should we believe anything tat comes out of his mouth.

[EllieBC]

12. Can he just not come back?

Please?

[cos dem]

13. We're screwed!

Since he's wrong about EVERYTHING!

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Echoes of WWII

Hitler was not much of a general either

[displacedtexan]

16. Duct tape, a little gasoline, a blowtorch...

No problem.

[Hekate]

17. "Vote for me in November! Magical thinking overcomes all!"

[BlueIdaho]

18. And I may lead several foreign languages in my sleep tonight...

The fucking “Happy Talk” President is a mass murderer.

[tclambert]

20. It must be true because he is always right about everything.

Just ask him. He will reluctantly and humbly admit that yes, he has been right every single time on every single detail. And the experts are all amazed. Then he will tell you how lucky we all are to have such a great and powerful man as President. But he'll say it humbly, because he is great at humility, too.

(Oops, I think I left out the word "not." Should have been about half a dozen of them in there.)

[marble falls]

21. Duct tape? I think of a net and straight jacket and a big ol' syringe of Thorazine.

[Strelnikov_]

23. Oh, vey . . . not again n/t

[RainCaster]

24. What a doosh

Yes, I spelled that wrong.
BFD.
DFT is out of control- how soon will we rise up against that moron?

[moonseller66]

25. Ideal needs to make...

an Orange Magic 8-Ball in the shape of trumps head with one of his eyes as the window for the answers.

It would be just as accurate and probably sell a hundred million.

[JDC]

26. This guy is F'ing insane. He really believes it. Tomorrow he'll believe something else

And something else the next day. Never remembering his previous thoughts or statements. He is just a base shell rambling into the ether.
