What stupid shit has Trump done today?

[Jay Park]

Fox is on the way out. OANN is where the likes of him get their news now - and what fantastic news it is!





(edit: via a poster called summerisle on GOT)

go to a salon and get yourself a nice new hairstyle whilst you give yourself 2nd degree burns blow drying the skin on your face.

Trump Urges Loosening CDC Restrictions To Let Coronavirus Get To Work

WASHINGTON—Calling for an end to precautions such as social distancing and shelter-in-place mandates, President Donald Trump urged the loosening of CDC restrictions Tuesday to let Covid-19 get to work. “The economy is hurting—we must send the coronavirus back into our office buildings, schools...

Chloroquine phosphate is NOT the same thing as chloroquine. Holy fuck, I knew Trump supporters are dumb but, Christ Almighty

Trump only cares about how things affect him, He's an idiot who thinks he's an infallible genius. He doesn't like being contradicted by anyone no matter how much they know about the subject and how little he knows. The list of his faults and reasons why he is completely unsuited to hold a position which commands so much executive power just goes on and on.
Apparently he is already freezing out Anthony Fauci who has been the head of NIAID under 6 presidents and one of the world's leading experts on dealing with epidemics because
he contradicts Trump and doesn't follow the party line, no doubt he will be fired soon.
A lot of Americans are going to die.

Something of a long item, but worth the read.
tl;dr as mickiq says, but with more detail ...

Coronavirus: What this crisis reveals about US - and its president

Nations, like individuals, reveal themselves at times of crisis. So what does this global catastrophe tell us?

"We don't want the cure to be worse than the problem"



Ofcourse, the profits from his businesses are going to suffer due to being closed down.

no excuses for Mr. 47%, but still.

 

[spring-peeper]

I can't seem to find anything to back this one up

 

[chandlerp]

It's bollocks obviously

Not the least bit true. At last check they've tested only about 200 people state-wide here.

Jesus Christ. I actually checked to make sure that was real. Yep. It is.

I think it stems from Deborah Birx - seem to remember she was talking at one of the pressers about ramping up testing in the States - said the US had done more tests in the last 8 days than the previous 8 weeks ... no idea how Trump conflated that with South Korea though. Possibly because he's an idiot.

 

[Nylock]

Or because he's desperate.

 

[Poot]

Not the least bit true. At last check they've tested only about 200 people state-wide here.

Yes but he put "testing" in quotation marks. So he could mean testing people by asking difficult questions, or sticking a skewer in them to see whether they're done.

 

[two sheds]

Say what you want, it's true now because he's said it

 

[teqniq]

Well then.

Well then what?

Biden is now a shoo-in?

 

[two sheds]

Marty jumping in to defend his hero while avoiding the issue again. Nothing like what the article is saying, it doesn't even mention Biden or whether the Democrats will win or lose.

 

[petee]

Jesus Christ. I actually checked to make sure that was real. Yep. It is.

and how many GOP senators, who were all in with romney in 2012, are expressing their sympathy to him in the face of such an attack now, but "can't say it in public"?

 

[teqniq]

Marty1 Biden is a joke and Trump's popularity ratings have never been higher but as to the actual content of the article, you know, what it actualy says rather than your meaningless diversionary speculation, it's been said before that he has psychiatric problems but this crisis has put them in starker relief. What she's saying is Americans have a decision to make. Remove him and put someone compentent in his place to deal with the issues or face a much higher chance of a real catastrophe.

Mike Pence may well be dangerously competent...

 

[teqniq]

True. Evangelical wingnut ahoy.

 

[stavros]

The US is more than six times the population of South Korea, which ought to be stated alongside whatever the absolute testing numbers of the respective countries are.

At best it’s a fantasy opinion piece, the author of it even acknowledges she has form for spouting this stuff 3yrs ago.

Not a credible article.

 

[gosub]

353000 tests done in US working from How Coronavirus Testing Varies by Country and State, in Charts which is more than South Korea. South Korea's population isn't that much smaller than the UK's which has tested 1/4 of the number South Korea has Coronavirus: UK almost doubles number of tests as cases surge

 

[teqniq]

Marty1 Hmmmm.

I think she'd have a far better idea of what constitutes aberrant behaviour than you or I:

Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div., is a forensic psychiatrist at Yale School of Medicine, expert on violence, and editor of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump.” She represents only the views of the World Mental Health Coalition, as its president
