He really looks and sounds unwell.

RenoSusan · 13/03/2020 20:15

orange dump could have planned for this if he had not fired all of the US epidemic specialists 2 years ago. All of these people who are ill or will get ill are the result of his lack of caring about anyone but himself. Rumors in US are currently that he already has the virus.

Nancydrawn · 13/03/2020 20:16

He sounds terrible...

tbf, that's usually what he sounds like these days.

this press conference is a joke, except a) not funny and b) deadly.

According to my American medic relative, they don't even have testing kits available in their state yet.

voddiekeepsmesane · 13/03/2020 20:16

I fear that the US will become the next "epicentre"

chomalungma · 13/03/2020 20:16

Lots of sycophancy.

The USA is a very different place to the UK

chomalungma · 13/03/2020 20:19

This is very different to Boris Johnson's conference yesterday.

Nancydrawn · 13/03/2020 20:20

I'm pretty sure “I don't take responsibility at all" is going to be in every campaign ad for the next six months.

FacingtheAbess · 13/03/2020 20:21

Sorry but I trust that short guy over ours

FacingtheAbess · 13/03/2020 20:22

I disagree.

He admitted they got it wrong.

Bunnyfuller · 13/03/2020 20:22

Imagine that - Donald Trump actually looking better than Boris.

How embarrassing

theflushedzebra · 13/03/2020 20:22

I reckon Trump will use this to cancel election & stay in power

Omfg, I wouldn't be surprised.

NotALurker2 · 13/03/2020 20:22

@Nancydrawn He's already blamed Obama for this situation, by way of how he handled swine flu. Not sure what the connection is.

He looks ill, and Pence has also been exposed. I see a President Nancy Pelosi in the near future.

voddiekeepsmesane · 13/03/2020 20:23

I don't know what you are seeing but I see an orange twat as much as I saw a bumbling twat yesterday. Neither know what the fuck they are doing IMO

chomalungma · 13/03/2020 20:24

No mention of 'flattening the curve'...

GabsAlot · 13/03/2020 20:25

typical trump-the man keeps shaking veryones hands including someone whos got covid but wont isolate-dick

chomalungma · 13/03/2020 20:25

"I didn't do it", "It wasn't me"

ChristmasFlint · 13/03/2020 20:26

Jaysus....he actually made more sense than boris the butcher....where have we gotten to when that happens?

Nancydrawn · 13/03/2020 20:27

He's talking about swine flu because Joe Biden was in part involved and he cares way, way more about the election than about the actual crisis unfolding.

Nancydrawn · 13/03/2020 20:27

ETA: involved in the response.

Sunshineand · 13/03/2020 20:29

orange dump could have planned for this if he had not fired all of the US epidemic specialists 2 years ago.

He just said he knows nothing about that 🤔🙄Hmm

lljkk · 13/03/2020 20:29

Trump is a notorious germapohobe & probably washes his hands very frequently (or handsan).

VanGoghsDog · 13/03/2020 20:30

That bit about Google making a website was hilarious.
The bit about him helping them, then the bit about how it was going to be built quicker than "websites of the past", and then the flowchart. I said to dp it looked like some GCSE coursework!

Sunshineand · 13/03/2020 20:33

'Cordelia from Sky news' just wasted a question.

GabsAlot · 13/03/2020 20:33

bloody hilarious i always thik im watching candid camera lately
