The Donald Trump Score Card

For the record, Trump's call to "Liberate" Virginia, Minnesota and Michigan, is very misguided. He'll be slapped down for it in some way and will back pedal it. Or say something an order of magnitude worse! He's as bad about doubling down as the average leftist.

 

Do they frighten you?

They look like a bunch of weenies to me.

 

Are you saying wimmens ain't that smart?

 

No silly, wimmens don't get to 21 when they undo the zipper.

 

I saw 43% in one of them

 

He just got caught funneling taxpayer money to a donor in violation of election and congressional rules. He now has a serious problem just like old Dan Rostenkowski.

 

Well … anyhow … everyone now knows he is a dumb ass.

 

he looks like he belongs in beach blanket bingo.

 

Fucker looks evil!

 

The NY Times article that set Trump into a rage last week.

Trump's containment illusion failed due to his lack of appreciation of the seriousness of the virus. It caused him to retroactively invoke another illusion, that it's the fault of China (whom he had been praising repeatedly), the WHO (whom he had praised), the media, and the governors (particularly, Democratic ones and in electoral swing states).



He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus
An examination reveals the president was warned about the potential for a pandemic but that internal divisions, lack of planning and his faith in his own instincts led to a halting response.

He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus

excerpt:

"The National Security Council office responsible for tracking pandemics received intelligence reports in early January predicting the spread of the virus to the United States, and within weeks was raising options like keeping Americans home from work and shutting down cities the size of Chicago. Mr. Trump would avoid such steps until March.


Despite Mr. Trump’s denial weeks later, he was told at the time about a Jan. 29 memo produced by his trade adviser, Peter Navarro, laying out in striking detail the potential risks of a coronavirus pandemic: as many as half a million deaths and trillions of dollars in economic losses.


The health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar II, directly warned Mr. Trump of the possibility of a pandemic during a call on Jan. 30, the second warning he delivered to the president about the virus in two weeks. The president, who was on Air Force One while traveling for appearances in the Midwest, responded that Mr. Azar was being alarmist.


Mr. Azar publicly announced in February that the government was establishing a “surveillance” system in five American cities to measure the spread of the virus and enable experts to project the next hot spots. It was delayed for weeks. The slow start of that plan, on top of the well-documented failures to develop the nation’s testing capacity, left administration officials with almost no insight into how rapidly the virus was spreading. “We were flying the plane with no instruments,” one official said.


By the third week in February, the administration’s top public health experts concluded they should recommend to Mr. Trump a new approach that would include warning the American people of the risks and urging steps like social distancing and staying home from work. But the White House focused instead on messaging and crucial additional weeks went by before their views were reluctantly accepted by the president — time when the virus spread largely unimpeded."

 

Gaetz looks better when wearing the gas mask.

 

That's because he's ten steps ahead of everybody else....

 

Like Trump did with the alleged 3 million fraudulent votes that he claimed went to Hillary and made him lose the popular vote to her, he now has a chance to launch a commission headed by Kobach of Kansas to investigate China and Iran for alleged undercounting so that the U.S. doesn't appear to have more deaths than they do.

Trump Hijacks Dr. Deborah Birx’s Coronavirus Presentation

excerpt:

"Trump, standing on the sidelines, couldn’t help but interject. “Excuse me, does anybody really believe this number?” he said, interrupting an apparently startled Birx—who then wheeled around, smiled, and coolly explained she put China’s number on the chart to demonstrate “how unrealistic this could be.”

Though Birx tried to move on, Trump still couldn’t keep quiet. He soon interrupted her again, to make a similar point, this time on the numbers shown for Iran.

“Does anyone really believe that number?” Trump asked again. “You see what’s going on over there.” He then asked to return to the previous slide and walked over to the screen, hovering and pointing incredulously to China and Iran’s numbers."

 

Sums up this thread nicely:

 

Hmmmm - did he have a marker pen in his hand ???

 

Video of Trump acting like a toddler to belittle the coronavirus on March 23 by moving away from Dr. Birx when she mentioned that she had a fever.

The White House has turned into little school kids making faces behind the teachers and even the teachers acting like toddlers along with them.

Over 39,000 Americans have died of the coronavirus as of April 19, not including undocumented cases.

'Delusional,' 'Absolutely false': Governors cry foul on Trump testing claims
Experts have said testing would need to be at least doubled from current levels in order to allow for even a partial reopening of America's economy.

'Delusional,' 'Absolutely false': Governors cry foul on Trump testing claims

excerpt:

"Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, told CNN that the "lack of testing" is "probably the number one problem in America, and has been from the beginning of this crisis."

"And I have repeatedly made this argument to the leaders in Washington on behalf of the rest of the governors in America," Hogan said. "And I can tell you, I talk to governors on both sides of the aisle nearly every single day. The administration, I think, is trying to ramp up testing, and trying — they are doing some things with respect to private labs. But to try to push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing, and they should just get to work on testing, somehow we aren't doing our job, is just absolutely false."

He added that governors have been "fighting and clawing to get more tests" from both the federal government and private labs, and are continuing to do so. He echoed Northam in saying there are shortages of swabs needed to conduct the tests, among other necessities."
