Granny Danger Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 2 hours ago, Savage Henry said: Don’t know if anyone has caught any of his live press conferences, but it’s incoherent rambling mixed with self-aggrandisement and layman medical advice. I’ve tried not to judge his health too much, but if one of your family members were to ramble on like he does, you’d be seriously concerned about their mental health. I’d love to see just one reporter having a real go at him at a press conference. There was a lost opportunity the other week when he accused a journalist of being “bad at your job”. The obvious retort was “I’m a lot better at my job than you are at yours”. It would also have been accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the only kind of discourse he understands. “No, Donny, f**k you.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get_the_subbies_on Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 There have been a couple of times he’s been given a tougher question. He just turns on them and accuses them of being fake news, asking “gotcha” questions or saying that they’re “nasty”. There is absolutely no point in these updates beyond confirming the figures. He can’t have any rallies at the moment, so he’s using these to howl at the moon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Last night is the first time I've ever watched The Donald live and unedited. It was true car crash stuff. Couldn't believe the crap he was coming out with. I should feel sorry for someone with clear mental health problems but I don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows that the election in November will probably be decided by how many voters the Democrats can get to turn out on the day. States like Wisconsin will turn on tiny margins, and I'm sure the Democrats will de desperate to get their vote out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Quote Over and over, Trump highlighted his decision to ban some flights from China in late January before there were any virus-related deaths confirmed in the US – even though nearly 400,000 people travelled to the US from China before the restrictions were in place and 40,000 people have arrived there since. The CBS News correspondent Paula Reid was having none of it and cut to the chase. “The argument is that you bought yourself some time,” she said “You didn’t use it to prepare hospitals. You didn’t use it to ramp up testing. Right now, nearly 20m people are unemployed. Tens of thousands of Americans are dead.” Trump talked over her: “You’re so disgraceful. It’s so disgraceful the way you say that.” Reid demanded: “How is this newsreel or this rant supposed to make people feel confident in an unprecedented crisis?” Trump reverted to his China travel restrictions but Reid continued to push him on his inaction in February. Trump was unable to muster a reasonable response. It was a case study in how, when he loses an argument, his instinct is to attack the accuser. He trotted out his frayed, timeworn insult: “You know you’re a fake, your whole network the way you cover it is fake ... That’s why you have a lower approval rating than probably you’ve ever had before times three.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 As per usual Trump doesn't care about others. All he wants to is "prove" that he was right and he did nothing wrong and how great he is. Wheeling out these (partially) doctored clips was pathetic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
