Trump says they are passed the peak

How can that be? They've not had CV in the country that long have they? How have they had their peak already ? I'm confused.

It’s trump!

He says whatever he thinks at any given moment.

elfycat · 16/04/2020 11:16

He's delusional.

Possibly as a medical condition as well as his oblivious-to-the-truth outlook in life.

Noshowlomo · 16/04/2020 11:17

The figures will probably be fudged and he will say he has MAGA (again), huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge eyeroll, but more will keep dying as he seems to think prayer will work.

Interesting, when Trump says he thinks the US is past the peak he's a delusional lunatic, but when Professor Neil Ferhuspn says he thinks US cases peaked 2 weeks ago... he's presumably a perfectly sane, rational scientist?

socialcommentator · 16/04/2020 11:18

sorry should say "uk cases" and "Neil Ferguson"

cushioncovers · 16/04/2020 11:20

I'm genuinely confused as how the whole of the US has passed the peak when covid only landed on their shores a few weeks ago. The southern states have hardly even been touched by the virus yet or am I missing something?

I wouldn’t believe Trump if he said today was yesterday’s tomorrow.

Nquartz · 16/04/2020 11:21

I heard this on the news earlier, he's a nutcase who says whatever pops into his head I think 🤷🏻‍♀️

nibdedibble · 16/04/2020 11:24

Trump is a liar, a dissembler, a psychopath, people say he’s gakked up to the eyeballs at all times and/or has dementia. He’s barely human. To be ignored.

Neil Ferguson has an interesting history, he’s not as on-the-nose as he’d like to present himself. (Article in FT yesterday I think)

Trump has both eyes firmly fixed on his reelection in November, and is desperate to get the American economy up and running again.
He will say whatever it takes to make that happen.
You can do that when you live in a delusional parallel universe.

To be fair, trump is a delusional lunatic whether he thinks the US is past its peak or not

Duckingell · 16/04/2020 11:29

ha ha :)

He makes for a amusing daily news story each day that's for sure.

Tableclothing · 16/04/2020 11:29

OP, you are confused because you are trying to believe something Trump said.

AvocadoOwl · 16/04/2020 11:29

I thought it a puzzling statement as the US is huge and different States will peak at different times. NY might hopefully have peaked but that's only one city. A bit like saying that Europe peaked when Italy did when in reality most countries were a way behind.

The way he talked about States 'who did a great job therefore had hardly any cases' seemed to completely miss the fact that these places will likely have their turn at a later date (particularly given he's determined to get everywhere opened up again). Bizarre.

Snowflakes1122 · 16/04/2020 11:29

Trump wants it to be past the peak, so he thinks all he has to do is say it is, and it’ll become a self fulfilling prophecy.

PickAChew · 16/04/2020 11:30

The guy just makes it up as he goes along.

Harrykanesrightsock · 16/04/2020 11:30

Don’t worry, by next week he wouldn’t have said that today Grin

Lynda07 · 16/04/2020 11:30

Trump wouldn't know how to pass the salt.

Lynda07 · 16/04/2020 11:31

He's probably past his peak - well past I imagine.

SleepingStandingUp · 16/04/2020 11:31

@socialcommentator but it's TRUMP

cushioncovers · 16/04/2020 11:32

😁I think that's my problem. Glad it's not just me then that thinks it's madness.

Fake news 🤷🏼‍♀️

SlothMama · 16/04/2020 11:41

Because Trump is an utter moron and so is anyone dumb enough to vote for him come November

Taciturn · 16/04/2020 11:51

See here

Wingedharpy · 16/04/2020 11:55

Well that's his usual modus operandi surely?
If he says something often enough everyone will believe it because he's said that's how it is, so it is.
