What stupid shit has Trump done today?

This "mutiny" stuff could get interesting - maybe the former Confederate states will band together to counter the Northeast and West Coast states teaming up, in a process that will end with the President For Life ruling by decree from Mar-a-Lago.

And the daily update from the Canadian prime minister's are probably the most watched, as well.
I would imagine the speeches from the top WHO doctor are widely watched.
So, I'm not getting your point.

People tune in for information. They are looking for guidance.
Sadly, the only thing Trump gives are rally speeches.

Ive made this same point before - Trump is playing the media like a violin

Speaking of viewers - are Trumps WH coronavirus pressers still the most watched TV in America?

Does anyone apart from Trump - and those like you who are so desperately trying to distract from the appalling content of those press briefings - really give a fuck?

Trump, his family, and hangers-on, earlier...



FWIW, that video has had over 800,000 views, which I think that probably goes some way to breaking the idea of "lots saw it, therefore it was good".

More like a fleshlight.

The American electorate perchance?

No, no. That performance, like Trumps', is class.

Rats watching the sinking shit.

Conference in the garden today, which will make easier for him not to hear questions he doesn't like.

But harder for him to avoid a bird shitting on his head, unless the Secret Service is shooting down ones that come too close.

The Whitehouse has a squadron of elite bald eagles ready to shred any pigeons foolish to fly over the Presidential privet.

He keeps on repeating W H O he's done it at least 100 times. I assume it's a big word he can't pronounce.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

I just popped on the live stream briefly to listen and it was just a tirade of Trump blaming the WHO. He's come pretty close to blaming them, and China of course, for the existence of COVID-19 itself. Anything to distract from the appalling shit storm his government's lack of response has caused.

Bald eagles don't like Trump.

Donald Trump Gets Attacked By Bald Eagle Named Uncle Sam

Eagles love America, just like Donald Trump, so it only makes sense that the two were brought together for a photoshoot on August 18th. Time Magazine was doing a cover-story on Trump, but newly released footage from the shoot reveals that Uncle Sam, the 27 year old bald eagle, is no docile bird.

Half of the WHO have been dead for ages, one of them farms trout and the other does internet research...seems unlikely.


Won't get fooled again!

So there you go

President Donald Trump has announced he is halting all US funding of the World Health Organisation (WHO) amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The US gives the WHO between £158 million ($200 million) and £416 million ($500 million).

Mr Trump said the halt came pending a review of the WHO's warnings about Covid-19 and China - where the respiratory disease originated from.

The US President claimed the outbreak could have been contained at its source and spared lives had the UN health agency done a better job of investigating reports coming out of China.

Donald Trump condemned for 'dangerous' move to halt payments to World Health Organisation

Donald Trump has been condemned for his "dangerous" decision to halt US payments to the World Health Organisation in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The US president says the WHO "failed in its basic duty" to stop the virus spreading when it was first reported in China, and "must be held...

Playing devil's advocate here a bit. But does Trump have a small point?

The US puts 450m into the WHO. China puts in 40m. That does seem a bit skewed. And the WHO hasn't exactly played a blinder here so far either. It's not helpful to suspend funding obviously. But yes. Devil's advocate. He's fucking insane and this could have been handled a whole lot better but where the fuck is China in all this.

 

[Petcha]

He makes it so easy to rip him apart but he does now and then have a point on some issues. We all bollocked him for closing his borders to European flights but in actual fact that probably should have been done sooner.

Right. ducks

China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

450 million is nothing compared to the trillion they tick off to keep the working class immiserated and the wealthy tax free.
