Trump's Response to COVID-19

  1. Yea, but look how REALLY funny it was. Great material for weeks of jokes. ALL of them in bad taste and pushing stupid lies about her health. They tried to portray her bulletproof vest as an orthopedic support to make her seem more elderly.

    None of that was "funny". It was just political jabs. I want funny to come back. I don't want to hear Trump jokes, none of them are funny, just childishly satisfying when one has a need for such.

    I want to hear about the bodybuilder who married a sex doll in comedy. I want to hear jokes about people's ridiculous clothing these days. I want jokes about actual funny shit, like Kimmel used to do before he became the polarized piper.

    In 2015/16 when she was campaigning the Republicans comedians and talk show hosts made fun of her and told fake reports about her having cancer.

    So, um

    Anyone here want to take a stab at how many extra lives Trump's supposed delayed bat virus response cost?

    Exponential growth functions can be tricky

    I put that delay at most, March 10 to March 18, 8 days, not that it's your federal leader that determines when the lockdowns start, but feel free to disagree

    End of reporting 9th May, US is listed as having 79,970 Covid deaths kind of sort of

    So how many extra deaths because of inaction? Up until today, and over the first 4 years? March 2020 to March 2024?

    Anyone? Anyone?

    If we are all so confident Trump's delayed response caused more deaths, some one should be able to tell me how many deaths, surely

    Roughly will do, give or take a couple thousand

    Anyone? Anyone?

    Chief prat of the first order has opened his gob yet again, contradicted both his own health advisers and himself !!!


    Trump Says Coronavirus 'Will Go Away Without A Vaccine', Contradicting Top Health Official (And Himself)
    The US president said just days ago that the US "needs the vaccine".

    Donald Trump has said Covid-19 “will go away without a vaccine” – directly contradicting comments made by one of the US’ top health officials and his own claims in the past.

    More than 78,000 people have now died in the US after contracting coronavirus, making it by far the worst-affected nation in the world, with new infections showing no sign of coming to an end.

    Speaking at the White House on Friday, the US president said: “I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests: this is going to go away without a vaccine.”

    “It’s going to go away, and we’re not going to see it again, hopefully, after a period of time.”

    The Washington Post reported that Trump did acknowledge the possibility of fresh “flare-ups” of the virus in the autumn, but maintained it would eventually disappear regardless.

    He added: “There are some viruses or flus that came and they went for a vaccine, and they never found the vaccine.

    “And they’ve disappeared. They never showed up again. They die, too, like everything else.”

    But even as he attempted to defend his position – which directly contradicts that of health experts – he acknowledged that a vaccine would be “very helpful”.

    Trump said: “Eventually it’s going to go away. The question is will we need a vaccine?

    “At some point it’s going to probably go away by itself. If we had a vaccine that would be very helpful.”

    Trump’s comments came just weeks after Dr Anthony Fauci – a leading immunology expert at the scientific forefront of the US’ response to Covid-19 – said the exact opposite.

    When asked on Fox News in April whether or not Joe Bidens’ assertion that “this isn’t going to be over until we have a vaccine” was correct, Fauci said there was “truth” in the democrat frontrunner’s claim.

    He added: “It’s not going to be over to the point of our being able to not do any mitigation until we have a scientifically sound, safe and effective vaccine.”

    Days earlier, Fauci had been asked during a White House briefing if the country could “truly get back to normal... before there’s an actual vaccine that’s available to everybody.”

    At the time he responded: “If ‘back to normal’ means acting like there never was a coronavirus problem, I don’t think that’s going to happen until we do have a situation where you can completely protect the population.”

    But the US president didn’t just stop at contradicting his leading expert – he also contradicted himself.

    Just days ago, during a virtual Fox News town hall event, Trump told viewers that the US “needs the vaccine” – predicting it would be available by December.

    He said: “I want it — I need the vaccine.

    “We need — this country needs the vaccine. And you’re going to have it by the end of the year. I firmly believe it.

    “I may be wrong.”

    Meanwhile, Trump also said on Friday during a meeting with Republican lawmakers that he expected the nation’s death toll to reach at least 95,000. The US currently has more than 1.3m confirmed cases of the virus.

    It was confirmed on Friday that vice president Mile Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller had tested positive for coronavirus, sparking concern that members of the White House inner circle were at serious risk of infection.

    Miller is married to Trump’s immigration adviser and speech writer Stephen Miller. On Thursday it was announced that one of Trump’s personal valets had tested positive for the virus.

    By now most people know that man is nothing more than a wealthy fool surrounded by an organized crime club membership.

    That's because you lack the capacity to understand Democrats. To do so requires that you complete the eighth grade first.

  11. Now this is really really funny. I was able to explain it to a 6th grader, the democrat platform is not very complicated.

    A well meaning person asked themselves how would Hitler respond to the Coronavirus pandemic
    and it's not entirely incongruent with how Trump has responded.

    We'd also be surprised at the number of people who only get their news from Fox - the network that's been caught making their "corrections" to reports they aired inaccurately earlier in the day, at 3 o'clock in the morning - when most people are asleep. Why not whisper those "corrections" in a remote closet, or put them on the air in that microscopic print for 5 seconds like we see in insurance co. disclaimers???

    I see the major networks do their corrections in prime-time broadcasts, so everyone can see them. Sunlight ………… daylight …………… prime time.

    Not long ago - several months back last year, the news came out that the state of Texas was going to be the new arbiter of what school books were going to be approved for use across the country. What Tishomingo said above in his post describes the effort to re-write U.S. history with "alternate" information. This is an ongoing effort to brainwash future generations of young people to think as some power-mongers on the right WANT them to think. Right-wing, nut-job, lying, deceitful propagandists at work. Shades of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia. The very same kinds of "altered truth" propaganda used by Hitler and Stalin. "You will be taught and you will BELIEVE WHAT WE TELL YOU!!!!!!!"

    Brought to you by the same slime that still today teaches that the Holocaust never happened, non-white people are animals and sub-human, Jews are the reason for all the world's problems, etc. What's next ……………. a civil race war to start killing "undesirables" ?????

    Anyone remember the mass book-burnings in Nazi Germany?? That was so TRUTH & FACTS could be eliminated and a "new way of thinking" could be taught to brainwash the whole country. Sounds just EXACTLY like what's happening in Texas. There will be an all-out push to re-write history - without REAL TRUTH - and it's already started in Texas. ROT from the inside.
