'King of ventilators' ??

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-coronavirus-conference-today-ventilators-us-death-toll-white-house-a9471806.html

'Donald Trump capped another wild week of the coronavirus outbreak by again criticising some of the country’s governors and declaring the United States the “king of ventilators” and his public health team discounted governors’ claims on testing shortages – even as the coronavirus death toll topped 36,000 with 692,000 confirmed cases.'

He honestly makes it up as he goes along. And just lies. He said the US is testing more people than any other country in the world. Incorrect.

He knows this has fucked up the economy (worldwide) and that's his golden ticket because he really hasn't got anything else. I would like to think he's worried sick.

The LIBERATE tweets were disgusting. I knew he was going to be bad. I never realised it would be this bad.

I saw that re FLA beaches on HLN this morning, lion. I just SMH.

If it was just a case of those idiots making themselves ill I'd say "Go ahead, just don't complain and don't take up hospital beds when you get sick, assholes". But the problem is that their idiocy does not effect just them. It will cause the virus to spread. And of course they'll all wonder how in the hell they and those around them contracted it. Oh, that's right. From the 5-G towers. Fuckheads!

Is trump pished during these conferences? Hes a stammering stumbling mess. Hes also very very nippy and defensive with the press

YeOldeTrout · 18/04/2020 23:18

Baby Donald is teetotal. Just imagine how funny he'd be pished.

He's not finished yet though is he, he's going to escalate and those liberate tweets will look mild by comparison

My older son swears Scrotus is medicated. He says he doesn't know if he's addicted to opioids or benzos and pops them himself or if someone is slipping them to him to keep him from totally losing his shit live on TV.

IDK, but he certainly does appear as if he's on something. The slurry speech, the little 'blip' when he loses of his train of thought then recovers it, even the fact that he appears to have to work to focus his vision at times.

I'm not completely finger pointing. It wouldn't be the first time a POTUS was medicated. It's pretty well accepted these days that JFK at times was on pretty heavy pain meds for his back and that he and Jackie took 'energy' injections from some doctor that were probably 'more than vitamins'.

Roussette · 19/04/2020 08:02

Yes, course he's addicted to opioids, Adderall seems to be the drug of choice. Look at the sniffing, the wild behaviour, the mangled words on and on, the attention span, it's obvious.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 19/04/2020 14:12

Adderall does seriously scary things to your heart in some cases, doesn't it?

And there is that picture of a drawer of Trump's desk full of prescription meds all the same sort and many months' supply -- but that was Sudafed not Adderall, and Sudafed really isn't much use for getting you high though it is a reasonable anti-congestant.

The thing which makes me most inclined to believe that Trump uses drugs is the story from May 2017 that "President Trump's personal housekeeper found President Obama's drug stash during a deep cleaning of the White House." If he is saying Obama did it that seems to me good enough evidence to suggest that he is doing it himself, since he always accuses others of what he does himself.

Didn't follow from previous thread, and then couldn't understand why it was so quiet on my TIO! Grin

Having the occasional break from the dayglo Satsuma is definitely a good thing, mind you, however inadvertent.

AcrossthePond55 · 19/04/2020 15:27

Isn't Sudafed what they use to make meth?

Scrotus on Crank....now that's a horrifying thought. Although picturing him with a shaved head a la Heisenberg cooking meth in an old RV with a wooly-hatted Pence as Jesse does make an amusing mental picture.

Breaking Orange?

I'd rather go with Orange Is The New Black: Washington. Wink

He'd never cook meth. He would be more likely to try to sell sugar as meth.

Mockers Grin

Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?

But don't choose Trump 2020

Mirador · 19/04/2020 19:19

Piers Morgan on CNN

If this was a cartoon, my jaw would be on the floor al la Tom from Tom and Jerry style, when I realised I was actually agreeing with Piers. I'll be over in the corner thinking about what I've done Grin

A pandemic is not a war, and should not be thought of as one. You can't fight any other nation in order to get rid of a virus. I just hope very much indeed that Johnson at least might have enough brain and sense to notice this fact, unlike Trump with his "I'm a war President" bullshit.

OP posts:
Lweji · 20/04/2020 09:48

There were some recent news in Portugal that Johnson had asked the EU for help. I hope so.
Europe will get through this more easily if countries are able to coordinate. I've seen that some less affected countries have sent health workers or have received patients from other countries.

It looks like NY has also been getting help from the outside, not quite thanks to the Federal government.
