Predictably dumb.

BREAKING: Trump didn’t wear a mask and was shaking hands after he landed in Phoenix for his coronavirus propaganda events. Trump should lead by example, but he’s not a leader.

he knows the virus will go if he gaslights hard enough

Dubya isn't high on my list of "Presidents I admire". But he showed early on that he had Scrotus pegged.

After Scrotus gave his inaugural address Dubya was overheard saying "That's some crazy shit right there!". And can't you just hear him saying it??

BruceAndNosh · 06/05/2020 05:50

@AcrossthePond55 I feel the same about Dubya, but that Unity message he did made me think "now THAT'S Presidential".

Seeing him at the face mask factory, without a face mask, and on the footage it says face masks must be worn Shock

But the shocking or hilarious bit (don't know which) is in the background the Bond theme 'Live & Let Die' is blaring out. Did Trump's lot arrange that or was it the workers at the factory?!

If it was the workers... they've got him pegged!

B1rdbra1n · 06/05/2020 10:32

It seems very weird that wearing of goggles when the advice is a face mask that covers your mouth and nose, as if he can't bring himself to do what the ordinary people are doing, he doesn't identify with normal people at all, he has to set himself apart

lionheart · 06/05/2020 11:15

He really painted himself into a corner with hoaxnot a problemwe're got this sorted--let's get back to work there's nothing to see here.

Agree about the Bush line--who'd have thought American would get a President who made Bush look so good?

And still doing the same thing by claiming that the economy is going to bounce back hugely and be marvellous ....next weekend
As if he is incapable of grasping the fact that everything he says will be thrown back at him, as if being held to account has never ever been a thing for him
He's a one trick pony with nowhere left to go🐴

AcrossthePond55 · 06/05/2020 16:42

Yeah, so he's now going to just start ignoring the pandemic. He's going to turn his focus on issues that will resonate with his fanbase cult members. And Covid-19 is NOT one of those issues.

He's going to spout lies about the economy "bouncing back now that the pandemic is totally gone, maybe it's not gone, but it's totally over. Maybe. I don't know. All the best people say it is, except they aren't, but maybe they are. Hoax, I tell you, it was all a Dem HOAX!! And..and..and...look over there!!! It's a fish and it's going to cancel the 2nd amendment it's going to take your guns!! VOTE FOR ME!!!".

The campaign ads have started. I've told DH that we need to have the remote constantly within reach so we can mute that shit immediately.

'Well, I’ll be honest, I have a lot of things going on. We had a lot of people that refused to allow the country to be successful.

They wasted a lot of time on Russia, Russia, Russia. That turned out to be a total hoax. Then they did Ukraine, Ukraine, and that was a total hoax.

Then they impeached the president of the United States for absolutely no reason.'

He has also said in public that there are likely to be more deaths from Covid19. He said that in the same speech as the "we are reopening the country" schtick.

600+ people in America have died since he said it.

I do hope that his supporters in the swing states remember that he didn't mind whether they died or not.

AcrossthePond55 · 06/05/2020 19:11

I do hope that his supporters in the swing states remember that he didn't mind whether they died or not.

Oh but remember, they're the 'Chosen Tribe of Israel America! They have magic face masks that have been blessed by Scrotus and that crazy evangelical televangelist. Covid will never dare to touch them!!

There are large surges going on in the midwest now in connection with the meat packing plants. I'm sure the idiots in the areas affected either 1-Don't care because it's been 'put out there' that all the employees are 'illegals' so who cares about them (or) 2- They're so deep down the rabbit hole that they'll figure if it does touch them or their families that it was 'loosed on us by the Chinese' and that Scrotus will 'save us from China'.

There are none so blind (or stupid) as those who will not see.

Trump is always right.

www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/coronavirus-equipment-trump-rebukes-nurse-in-white-house-exchange.html

'President Donald Trump contradicted a nurse who said that access to sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment during the coronavirus pandemic “has been sporadic.”
Trump shot back, “Sporadic for you, but not sporadic for a lot of other people.”
The exchange underscored how sensitive Trump has been to suggestions that the United States has lagged in preparedness for the coronavirus outbreak under his watch.'

At least I never thought Bush was a bad person.

Unlike his puppeteer(s), but that's another story film.

Trump officials reportedly dispute the US COVID-19 death toll, floating a far-fetched theory that hospitals may be inflating cases to get more funding

Trump officials reportedly dispute the US COVID-19 death toll, floating a far-fetched theory that hospitals may be inflating cases to get more funding

It's almost June, the month that (traditionally) campaigning ramps up to an (almost) unbearable degree. The TV ads have started (quietly) but soon they will be hot and heavy. And I mean from both parties, I'm not finger pointing at the GOP.

We are going to see more and more 'disinformation' coming from 'official' sources to help Scrotus win re-election. And there will be 'no bridge too far' to get him the votes he needs. It will be very soon that Fauci and his ilk (truth-tellers) will be phased into the background then silenced completely. And that means that pretty soon there will be NO reliable information coming from the CDC, FEMA, or any other Govt agency. We'll strictly have to rely on Dem Congresspersons and outside reliable sources (like Universities, etc).

Now, that's fucking scary.

feels like the only hope is for trump to get the virus, but if he was susceptible he'd surely already have it, he must have been exposed at one of his events?
