Thread: President Donald Trump

good move, Mr Trump

Fucking unbelievable.

They are the ones you wish it upon.

The world would be a better place without them.

Trump and his acolytes lie repeatedly and then lie about lying because Trump supporters simply don't hold them accountable for their lies.

They must actually enjoy being lied to.

I think you're right but I don't see it lasting that long: 12 - 18 months or so I reckon.

Nobody could have foreseen all of the current events but in some ways we were overdue a recession anyways.

Don't let Trump gaslight anyone into believing what a wonderful job he did/is doing

Two months before the novel coronavirus is thought to have begun its deadly advance in Wuhan, China, the Trump administration ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning program aimed at training scientists in China and other countries to detect and respond to such a threat.


The project, launched by the U.S. Agency for International Development in 2009, identified 1,200 different viruses that had the potential to erupt into pandemics, including more than 160 novel coronaviruses. The initiative, called PREDICT, also trained and supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories — including the Wuhan lab that identified SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19.


Field work ceased when the funding ran out in September, and organizations that worked on the PREDICT program laid off dozens of scientists and analysts, said Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance, a key player in the program.

Interesting reading. Hopefully, the few mentioned facts will not encourage some into conspiracies (as already shown somewhere)...

Don't have a good answer to a question? Well, just lash out then! Call it nasty. Be pathetic. Be the the most pathetic ever, by far, not even close....... This seems to be a more frequent trend.

It's her own fault for not reading the Government website that explained how it works.

Sorry, I mean it's her own fault for not reading the Government website that was changed two hours after Jared dropped a bollock.

Until Friday morning, the website of the Department of Health and Human Services, which maintains the stockpile, read, "When state, local, tribal, and territorial responders request federal assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during an emergency."

But midday Friday, hours after Kushner directly contradicted the language on the HHS website, the text was changed without explanation. Retroactively matching what Kushner said, the website no longer says states can rely on the stockpile, but now says it exists to “supplement” them.

“The Strategic National Stockpile's role is to supplement state and local supplies during public health emergencies," the website read on Friday afternoon. "Many states have products stockpiled, as well. The supplies, medicines, and devices for life-saving care contained in the stockpile can be used as a short-term stopgap buffer when the immediate supply of adequate amounts of these materials may not be immediately available.”

I know it’s probably a case of too little, too late, but why hasn’t this clown issued a national stay-at-home order? We still have eight states, (Surprise, surprise, all Republican governors) that have not issued stay-at-home orders. Fucking pathetic.

I was reading that one of his chums down south was saying, as recently as 2 weekends ago, that now is a great time to go to your local bar and socialise.

What is wrong with these people?

Your wild guess might be approaching fruition, Har.
There is already talk, in these particular political circles, as to another trillions of dollars stimulus package - said to be in the works as we speak.

murdoch needs to be taken down - where is a billionaire who wants to do some good for the world ?

Pity that the incumbent govt with his big man is still in charge, so the country (and the whole world) does not enjoy the new future (fresh) leadership under the other party with his favorite (fresh) statesman...

It would make a great difference in handling all of this...

I don't even think it's a philosophy per se, just a damned good business model.

Carnival barking to right wing morons has netted Murdoch a shitload of cash.

What an assclown this guy is...

What a fucking plank.

'I'm not going to do it': Trump rejects his own administration's advice on masksThe CDC has issued new guidance on wearing non-medical masks as a voluntary public health measure – and the first lady supports it


Donald Trump has said his administration is encouraging Americans to wear face masks in public to prevent spreading the coronavirus – but does not intend to wear one himself, despite his own wife’s advice.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued new guidance for people to wear bandannas, t-shirts and other cloth-based coverings in crowded areas, especially in hot spots.
“The CDC is advising the use of non-medical cloth face covering as an additional voluntary public health measure,” the US president told reporters on Friday. “This is voluntary. I don’t think I’m going to be doing it.”
Yet later on Friday evening, first lady Melania Trump tweeted: “As the weekend approaches I ask that everyone take social distancing & wearing a mask/face covering seriously.”
At the daily White House coronavirus task force briefing, Trump was pressed to explain his unwillingness to lead by example and offered a characteristically unconventional reply. “I just don’t want to wear one myself. They say ‘recommendation’, they recommend it. I’m feeling good,” – a remark that ignored evidence that many virus carriers do not show symptoms.

This horror show in the US of A is building up to a crescendo, and the world’s
greatest snake oil salesman keeps gaslighting anyone dumb enough to believe
his bull shit.

My thoughts are with the American people, and hope it doesn’t turn out as bad
as all the numbers suggest at the moment.

even his admin is admitting drumpf is killing his supporters
