The U.S. has approximately 4.25% of the world’s population, and 25% of the deaths from COVID-19. At least Trump has made us Number One at something, however horrible it is.
Now we are canceling COVID-19 briefing? All because the president lies. How about his new press secretary and the doctors hold the briefings. She sounds like a real competent accomplice.
The president says that he he will not approve a Postal Service loan unless they raise the rates for Amazon. So because of his petty jealousies with Jeff Bezos he wants to add strings to any loan. Does every other government loan also get these same strings?
The top recipient of the small business taxpayer relief funds is Monty Bennett, a multi-millionaire Trump donor, who owns dozens of luxury hotels and he received $96.1 million. While most small businesses get nothing.
There has never been, in the history of our country, a more vicious or hostile president than there is right now, even in the midst of a national emergency.
The New York Times (a.k.a. what Trump calls “the failing New York Times”) analyzed the 260,000 words Trump has spoken at his press briefings since they began. Is anybody the slightest bit surprised that the most common and oft-repeated theme in those words was self-congratulation? Still, you might be surprised by the sheer number of times Trump has used these briefings to pat himself on the back. As of this past Friday, 600 times. This while more than 50,000 Americans were dying.
Trump was going to “grow” into the presidency, he and his “unmatched wisdom” could handle any crisis, and his Republican enablers in the Senate assured us he had “learned his lesson.” This guy is exactly the ignorant, xenophobic racist, malignant narcissist he was when he descended that escalator way back when. He has not changed, he has not grown, he has not learned a thing, nor does he think he needs to. Every day in every way he gets worse and worse.
Mr. Nimble Fingers tweeted reporters should give back their “Noble prizes” for their terrible reporting about him. Maybe the stable genius meant “Pulitzer Prizes”? What an ignorant of facts stable genius.
It is always women that stand up to Trump. It is always women that scare the heck out of Trump. It will be women who will save the world from this man’s failures.
Trump’s handler, Hope Hicks, has returned. Does this mean he’ll have someone to control his addiction to attention? I suggest they let him golf before he decides a live rally would be a good thing for his ego and his base. He’s decided to switch to concentrating on the economy, he should wait till there is a return to a normalcy instead of boasting about what a great Great Recession he’s created. His daily briefings have become political rallies, it is only fair that equal air time be allotted to Biden, only then will we hear about hope, truth & empathy, instead of Trump’s “stable genius” delusions.
We saw and heard what he said about disinfectants and ultraviolet light. Our eyes and ears were not lying. He said it. He was not being sarcastic. He was not taken out of context. It was just ridiculous and stupid. But if sure makes you wonder what it would take for the people who love and adore Trump to admit that any single thing he has ever said is wrong, misleading, or just plain dumb.
People started eating Tide Pods because they read on the internet they would get you high during the Obama administration. Did that make it his fault because he never came out and warned people not to do it? When we are a third World country because people believe any garbage you feed them, the Trump haters will be the first to complain. And just when you thought people couldn’t be any stupider, the liberal media has people believing the president suggested drinking chemicals. We’re paying a terrible price for the hate were surrounded by, and the liberal media just keeps pilling it on. Keep it up folks, it’s working great!
These protestors want their states to re-open, while they gather, not wearing masks to prove how untouchable they all are.
