Coronavirus isn't a 'Chinese virus' no matter what Trump says. Words matter, which is why a label that stigmatizes people isn't appropriate. Trump's statement, however, contradicts guidance from the World Health Organization and the US' own Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.

"Viruses know no borders," said Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's Emergencies program, during a conference on Tuesday. He stressed the need to be "careful" when describing the coronavirus. https://www.cnet.com/.../coronavirus-isnt-a-chinese.../

That's why I was pointing out that almost the first words out of fat Donnie's mouth were "Chinese virus".

More self aggrandizing bullshit and more whining that the media isn't kissing his ass good enough.

...and he needed to check the "China Virus" box and mention Rand Paul.

cares more about MONEY than HUMAN LIVES, asshole

The only question is how long the nosedive will last and how long it will take to start gaining altitude again.

Every factory in Ohio is down...millions will file for unemployment tomorrow or Tuesday. The future are down...already shut down once...

It is like he cannot talk without taking a pause for a deep breath.

wonder hat they told him he HAD yo say that he doesn't ant to? That's when he pants.

extra orange today. Like they really piled on the Dream Matte Mousse right before he went on.

Bags under his bags. Good Lord, talking about pent up demand after.

Not one word about the sick or dead. Only what he is doing!

ok but how about the National Defense Production ACT ?????

and making me doze off.

The more he opens his mouth.

He has to be told everything, big baby

When are they getting out of maintenence, and why didn't you even know about that earlier?

I don't even trust the FEMA guy.

We cannot trust anything you say.

oh no, let them gouge the federal government as you bow to the God of the Market

I bet they are just words. IT will be proven WRONG in days to come!!

Look Ma! I can speak bigly numbers!

Maybe the 25th Amendment is coming.

gotta fire up his base with his racism

So far, he's not being pompous....I'm sure that will change as the conference goes along. He seems to be rambling endlessly, though.

What an embarrassment to our country

Or reviews? Or high marks?

general bone spurs.

What a dipshit.

Fuck anyone that didn't vote for Hillary. Learn your lesson and fix this fuck up in November.

Shame. Seems to be having breathing issues.

those comforting words are not his.

People who've died. It's been cold and distant.

this is what peter alexander got yelled at for yesterday

OMG

Almost sounds like he's trying to make up for the Peter Alexander exchange.

Now he's trying to act like he gives a s h i t about the American people.

it just does its thing to survive.
Comparing the pandemic to a war is misleading.

Viruses don't think.

LOL, he didn't introduce the guy.

It's like watching a 4th grader do his little presentation in front of the class
when you know he or she is not ready. However, we give the
4th grader a lot of slack. Trump is 73.

Is that why the PC was delayed? Did he get fired?

VADM Jerome M. Adams, M.D., M.P.H.

yep he's a doctor

kiss kiss smooch smooch

sure as shit isn't looking good with just trump and his ass kissers.

is trump the only one that says this? what does pence say?

All the way from San Diego! Gosh.

No mention of why it'll take that long, such as "it was out of service for maintenance".

The FEMA guy is looking like he's never spoke in front of people before. He doesn't look comfortable at all.

"Heavy hand of government" my ass. Just talk with them, tell them what may be needed, and set up a "plan B" to put into effect. That could have been done in February.

More orange lips.

Is this just a pretty way of saying we don't want the federal government forcing the red states to cooperate ?

.. of any actual responsibility."

e.g., ASPR

Dementia maybe ?

Regarding Trump's "that's too bad" about Romney in isolation.

Gee, that’s too bad.”


What an asshole.

Fuck the horse he rode in on too. I am tired of this asshat getting presstime, while at the same time, I want it on full display.

Lying sack of shit, GOP and Dems are NOT on the same page.

Need 60 votes to pass.

It's the best. The best. A lot of people say it's the best.

They were still private companies working closely with the federal government.

I had totally forgotten about it. Thank you, sincerely, for reminding me

It's obvious someone else wrote his opening statement today.

What’s a ventilator? Or Intel? IBM?

Covid-19?

Trump-no one knows who makes masks...we'll just wait for the phone to ring

TRUMP FIGHTS BACK

Nope. You're right.

https://www.foxnews.com/

I'm wondering as well....he says he wants to keep it private where it was.

Keep up the lying for your base, asshole

I don’t remember America shutting down during that like we are now.

sending ships up there

cruise ships ?

de Blasio working very hard.....

bullshitting his way through this answer


no specifics

sterilization process... hand sanitizers... off on tangent....

great company in NH makes ventilators, " things made of metal "

jeez so painful

It's weird how he's not getting mouthy with the media today.

To be serious, he did get a bit nasty with one reporter, but very quickly in the course of an answer.

Wired, spinning, blabbing disconnected nonsense!
