    Yeah, when Wallace says cases are up 194% he is throwing in an unspecified qualifier.

    He's including the 1.8 million that have already recovered from the virus

    I doubt there would be many viewers unaware the death rate is way down from what it was in April.

    Given who the interviewer is, quite possible he is doing that on purpose

    It's not about the host it's about the person being interviewed. His brain is gone. You don't see how he struggles to speak and how stupid it sounds? The right loves to say Biden is senile but ignore Trump. Only a fool listens to him speak and think it's smart. He needs his car keys taken and someone to check he does not fall.

    There is no doubt a post from you back in March going on about Sth Korea's early testing, and that's what made the difference

    Now that masks are a political issue divided down partisan lines, now you are crapping on about masks making the difference in Sth Korea

    Well which is it?

    Finally increase testing in the US, you are probably up to 50 million tests conducted by now, and what happened? It just helped push the mortality rate down,combined with the warmer weather of summer

    Then of course there is still the question of what happens when Sth Korea opens up it's international borders and the exact same thing happens and all those measures, all they every did, was delay the inevitable by 12 months. A question all countries still have to face

    Dude, it's Fox News Sunday. Interview is set up to make it seem like Trump is answering the hard questions. Wallace throws out the 194% with no context, Trump answers back with a lot of young people now just getting the sniffles and getting over it. Which is what is happening

    This one is designed for Republican voters that aren't Trump voters, no one else

    This man has claimed to have an IQ above Eisenstein and to know more than doctors or experts in multiple other fields. Because he bankrupted a casino he knows more.
    Not it's too hard to answer basic questions.

    Trump defends taking cognitive test, claims questions get "very hard"

    President Trump accused "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace of misrepresenting the difficulty of a cognitive test that he recently took, claiming: "The first two questions are easy, but I bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. They get very hard."

    Why it matters: Trump has accused his opponent Joe Biden of being mentally incompetent and unable to serve as president because of his alleged cognitive decline. As Wallace pointed out, a Fox News poll found 47% of respondents believe Biden has the mental soundness to serve effectively, compared to 43% who believe the same of Trump.

    The exchange:

    TRUMP: "Let's take a test right now. Let's go down. Joe and I will take a test. Let him take the same test that I took."WALLACE: "Incidentally, I took the test too when I heard that you passed it. It's not – well it's not the hardest test. They have a picture and it says “what’s that” and it’s an elephant."TRUMP: "No, no, no. ... You see, that's all misrepresentation."WALLACE: "Well, that's what it was on the web."TRUMP: "It's all misrepresentation. Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions."WALLACE: "Well, one of them was count back from 100 by seven."TRUMP: "Let me tell you ... you couldn't answer -- you couldn't answer many of the questions."WALLACE: "Ok, what's the question?"TRUMP: "I'll get you the test, I'd like to give it. But I guarantee you that Joe Biden could not answer those questions."

    I have no idea what that means.

    Few people but his cult and the media that has to listen to much of what he says. All most of the world needs is the highlights. Missing the game is not that bad if you see the goals replayed on the news. He's slow even when he has softball questions he is not all there. He's always been a racist asshole but Trump in 1990 would not have had that interview. His cult will go on about Biden being senile and ignore reality. It's only going to get worse. People at the point where Trump is can go downhill very quickly.

    It would be nice if someone under 70 was ever a candidate but America does not have that choice

    That's what I think too. It's just like when Saddam Hussain was running the one party system in Iraq. Trump and his henchmen don't want a two party system here.

    Donald Trump v Fox News Sunday: extraordinary moments from a wild interview

    excerpt:

    "Trump said: “I’m not losing, because those are fake polls.”

    Not only did Trump deny the hard data, he also refused to say if he will accept the result of November’s presidential election if he comes out the loser.

    “I have to see,” he said. “Look … I have to see. No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.”

    Anthony Scaramucci, Trump’s former director of communications, tweeted: “The Chris Wallace interview is Biden’s campaign ad.”"

    Donald Trump v Fox News Sunday: extraordinary moments from a wild interview

    excerpt:

    "Wallace then showed a montage of Trump’s comments minimizing Covid-19, by saying it will “disappear” at some point.

    “I’ll be right eventually,” Trump said. “It is going to disappear. I’ll say it again, it’s going to disappear and I’ll be right.”

    Wallace asked if Trump’s past comments about coronavirus disappearing, which have not been borne out, discredited him.

    “I don’t think so, you know why? Because I’ve been right probably more than anybody else.”"

    Trump is claiming that within a couple weeks he will sign a comprehensive healthcare plan, an immigration plan, and other plans (presumably ones pertaining to infrastructure, national debt, trade, and education that he promised in 2016 but hasn't fulfilled).

    He also made a reference to the recent Supreme Court decision on DACA as if it has vested him with the ability and authority to formulate and sign a comprehensive healthcare plan.



    Donald Trump v Fox News Sunday: extraordinary moments from a wild interview

    excerpt:

    "Wallace pointed out that in three years, Trump has not unveiled his promised replacement.

    Trump responded: “We’re signing a healthcare plan within two weeks, a full and complete healthcare plan that the supreme court decision on DACA [an immigration decision which went against the administration] gave me the right to do.

    “So we’re going to solve – we’re going to sign an immigration plan, a healthcare plan, and various other plans. And nobody will have done what I’m doing in the next four weeks.”"

    Justice Ginsburg says cancer has returned, but won't retire

    Justice Ginsburg says cancer has returned, but won't retire

    excerpt:

    "Ginsburg, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993, is the senior liberal justice on a court that leans conservative by a 5-4 margin. Her departure before the election could give President Donald Trump the chance to shift the court further to the right.

    Ginsburg’s history with cancer goes back more than 20 years. In addition to being treated without surgery for a tumor on her pancreas last year, she also underwent surgery for colorectal cancer in 1999, pancreatic cancer in 2009 and lung cancer in December 2018.

    Dr. Alan Venook, a pancreatic cancer specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, who is not involved in Ginsburg's care, said that "clearly, she's got incurable disease now” because of the spread to her liver."

    Trump is the type of person who would award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Roger Stone.

    Trump will say that Bahamas is treating the U.S. and him unfairly because the increase in U.S. infections and deaths isn't real but rather only a result of the increased testing due to the super testing machine that he built.

    His other excuse is that it's just young people in the U.S. getting the sniffles, as if they can't pass the virus on to others which can cause serious health problems and death.

    Trump is still blaming Obama for something he supposedly did that hampered his ability to fight the coronavirus.

    Trump can couple the two and start up a new Obama-Bahama truther narrative.

    They left out Stone, Manafort, Flynn, Barr, and the rest of the Rump SWAMP.

    This quote should have been included with my post #25610 - but it didn't for some reason. If this quote had "stuck" with post #25610 - my comment there would have made more sense.

    What Obama DID was to formulate plans for how to handle an epidemic or pandemic if it happened. Obama was convinced that sooner or later, such a thing would happen - so best to be prepared for it. Rump's team of "inside, non-medical experts" and cabinet decided to scrap that planning & use the resources elsewhere.

    Another IDIOTIC MOVE by the "stable genius." Karma baby.
