I am incredulous at this!!! Commemorative gifts to mark Trump ‘beating Covid’??? At the point he is still infected, causing a sh!tstorm of infections around him, not to mention horrific rates of infection all over the US. Can’t quite believe the man, he just gets worse and worse. Will surely go down in history as the worst President to have ever ‘served’.

AIBU to be astounded by this??!!

YABU - only because nothing he does surprises me anymore.

RuggerHug · 07/10/2020 08:15

Nothing surprises me about that swamp donkey. He's cut Covid relief payments until after the election which is worse.

*Disclaimer: worse in terms of what he's done in the last 12 or so hours, fuck knows what he'll have done by the time I hit submit on this comment.

YANBU Op. I didn't wish him ill when he was diagnosed but the way he's behaved in the last few days, I totally do.

Youngatheart00 · 07/10/2020 08:22

I honestly hoped one upside of his infection was that he would show more humility towards others. One of his initial speeches once admitted to hospital suggested maybe that would be the case. But no, it’s now all about his bravery, heroics, using aggressive military terms, downright lies and continually putting others at risk.

I don’t wish death upon another human but I do wish for a landslide victory for Biden as the response to this absolute nonsense

I’m actually numb to the shocking things trump does now so this doesn’t surprise me. That’s the only reason I’ve voted YABU- you’re right that he and this, is fucking low.

giletrouge · 07/10/2020 08:26

I'm hoping that this is more evidence he's on an insane steroid high FROM WHICH HE IS ABOUT TO COME DOWN and that any minute now he's going to crash spectacularly in front of the world's eyes, like fall over raving whilst on camera or something.
What a 'great' end that would be to a 'great' year.
He's bigly crazy, that one.

52andblue · 07/10/2020 08:30

He is a hideous mess, pretending to be a human being: his tragedy.
The fact he has so much power is a tragedy for all of us.
He is like some crazed Roman Emperor, or a medieval King whose brain is addled with end stage Syphilis and nothing can stop his madness but death (only he is infecting everyone else as he goes down)
It is truly an epic Greek Tragedy.

Pickypolly · 07/10/2020 08:32

Conspiracy theorists may say that he never had COVID.. that it’s all a ploy to get votes...sympathy..oh what a magnificent leader votes...
Regardless, he’s a cockwomble & those around him are too.
Not in the least bit surprised.

That site is not run by the White House, or the President.

Asterion · 07/10/2020 08:35

It's something to do with a police fund.

See. I laughed when he wanted his face on Mt Rushmore. This? Not so much.

The man's narcissism knows no bounds.

I said yabu, but only because no one should be surprised by this shit anymore.

Asterion · 07/10/2020 08:39

OK, last time I say this - it's fake news. Not an official White House site.

JaJaDingDong · 07/10/2020 08:44

YABU - he's told us Covid isn't as bad has having flu GrinAngryShock

Youngatheart00 · 07/10/2020 08:44

@Asterion wow - that website really does portray itself as being the official White House gift shop!

Still, wouldn’t surprise me if he would personally endorse something like that. It matches his rhetoric

@RuggerHug

He's cut Covid relief payments until after the election which is worse.

Have you looked into the reasons why?

MrsMariaReynolds · 07/10/2020 08:47

That's optimistic and disgusting He is no where near out of the woods with this virus yet.

giletrouge · 07/10/2020 08:57

It's fake news? I even heard it on the BBC World Service this morning? OMG I'll never believe anything again anywhere from anyone.

I'm broken now. Grin

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 07/10/2020 09:22

How people believe anything from the media is beyond me. All media has its own bias, as its staffing is left or right wing. And that bias does influence what it reports.

As much as I'm not really a Trump fan (nor am I interested in American politics, we have our own shitstorm to worry about here) I don't really believe any of the nonsense that is reported about him.

Frazzled2207 · 07/10/2020 09:25

Yanbu but not remotely surprised

I went to New York a few months after 9/11 and there were entire souvenir shops selling 9/11 paraphernalia - I'm talking mugs, tshirts, keyrings with a picture of a plane crashing into the two towers. Nothing about the US surprises me after that.

RuggerHug · 07/10/2020 09:34

MaryamDiz Are you suggesting there's a sane logical reason he has? What reason would justify it.

SomewhereEast · 07/10/2020 09:48

I dislike Trump as much as the next sane European, but social media was rammed with people either predicting his death (despite the fact he was always statistically much more likely to live) or literally wishing him dead, so its not surprising his supporters are swinging to the opposite extreme. US politics is just a fucking cesspit right now I still really fucking hope Biden wins though

I visited New Orleans a few years after Katrina and companies were offering coach tours of the still devastated suburbs specifically to look at the devastation.

They were also flogging lots of blackly humorous Katrina merch which was genuinely pretty funny

@52andblue

You’re so right. Trump could easily be compared to Henry V111; I can imagine him shouting, ‘Off with his/her head!’ Or the Emperor Niro, playing a fiddle as Rome burned.
