Trump’s Humiliating Statement on Katie Miller...

[CRAZY_CAT_WOMAN]

You still may have missed the point...

Donald expressed doubts about the effectiveness of testing, because this woman had been tested on several occasions and found to be clear, but was then found to be positive on her latest test. It’s like he expects that someone should keep getting the same result on all subsequent tests...

But then...this is the guy who suggests that injecting disinfectant might be an effective COVID cure...

Yes, we need better test for COVID-19. I don't do anything Trump suggested. And just watch some of his speeches and Twitter for amusement.

Here is the Quote from the Link:\

"She's a wonderful young woman, Katie, she tested very good for a long period of time," President Donald Trump said on Friday during a meeting with congressional Republicans at the White House. "And then all of the sudden today she tested positive. She hasn't come into contact with me. She's spent some time with the vice president."
​

What part of that do you find humiliating?

Any questions...?

Yes please - I'm not finding anything humiliating. What do you find humiliating - I know you don't do click bait - what am I missing?

 

[pitabread]

Donald humiliates himself with this:
"This is why the whole concept of tests aren't necessarily great," the president continued. "The tests are perfect, but something can happen between a test where it's good and then something happens and all of the sudden. She was tested very recently and tested negative, and then today I guess for some reason she tested positive."This betrays a profound and impenetrable cluelessness on the purpose of testing.

I wonder if he's trying to downplay the importance of testing as a way of excusing the U.S. for being so late to the game.

Well, that's "a" quote from the link, but not "the" quote, which, if you've read this thread, you would have seen more than one person already say.

It is the ONLY quote pertaining to her.

The other is pertaining to testing.

Not seeing anything humiliating. I have read the other posts - just can't find anything humiliating.

Partly, but also to distract from the problem that there are not enough tests to safely reopen the economy as he would like.

They are part of a continuum. It was all part of the whole:

"This is why the whole concept of tests aren't necessarily great," the president continued.

What a surprise.

That is just a weird reply to me.

There is nothing inaccurate, it is an observation based on a logical truth.

How that can be attributed as humiliating is beyond the pale and why many self thinkers are seeing the overwhelming prejudice towards the President.

He cannot say ANYTHING without some type of complaint.

Indeed, what a surprise.

Trump often has broken sentences while he reflects on something.

The time to reflect is before you open your mouth, not while you are opening it and definitely not in public, during a nationwide broadcast to a population eager for assurance and a degree of certainty.

Perhaps the vast majority of decisions made by Trump have been sound and timely. I doubt it, but let's take it as a given for the moment. That still leaves me astounded that you could seek to defend the inept, akward, amateurish, fumbling, incoherent, childish communication style he employs. Why?

I am looking, where exactly is the "humiliating statement". This article is a big nothing burger and yes Trump thinks that you can test clear one day and positive the next day because that just happens to be a fact, just because you do not have the virus today in no way assures that you will not get it tomorrow. I do not know about anyone else but I am getting a little tired of the msm pointing out who is and is not masked. It reminds me of a 4 year old tattletailing on a sibling.

He's right about the facts and completely wrong on the interpretation.

The testing is for keeping people who have become infected from continuing to infect everyone, which is what happens when you don't test. It's not a full proof protection because the test can't always tell you whether you are infected, but it DOES tell you before you would find out on your own (if you ever would).

If they continued about their business the people in the white house will have made sure to infect everyone. One of them was waltzing around without a mask so every time she breathed or ejected any fluids from her face she was putting everyone around her at risk.

The lack of masks in the white house is a severe lack of leadership and good sense. Everyone where I work is wearing a mask because if one of us gets sick and can, in fact, spread the virus around before we show symptoms and get tested, our business will be unable to continue.

My bosses don't administer one of the largest bureaucracies in the US (the US government) but they have more sense than the president of the united states.

Except anyone can go and see countries that did it better like South Korea.

Suffering throughth stupidity of it all.

I mean this is the lady who wasn't wearing a mask right?

It's offensive that this adminstration is that stupid.

Think about it - why does he say and evidently think that "tests are not so great"? How is that a logical conclusion based on the fact that one day someone can test negative and then, after they become infected, they test positive?

How that can be attributed as humiliating is beyond the pale and why many self thinkers are seeing the overwhelming prejudice towards the President.

Yes, if you don't see the idiocy in implying that tests are supposed to keep people from getting infected by virtue of simply getting tested, then it must indeed be bewildering to see that criticized.

He cannot say ANYTHING without some type of complaint.

Patently untrue. He has, from time to time, said something that was true, not insulting to someone and not self-aggrandizing.

This.

This is the level of equivocation required to defend Donald from his own words.

and for what?

 

[pitabread]

So, someone might like to explain a rational translation of this...

“The tests are perfect, but something can happen between a test where it's good and then something happens and all of the sudden. She was tested very recently and tested negative, and then today I guess for some reason she tested positive.”

“For some reason”....?? Ummmm...Mr President, that “some reason” would be that she became infected...!

Not that I'm defending Trump here, but it's possible a positive test could be a false positive. Though if that was Trump's point, he could have been a lot clearer in making it.

Perhaps you can explain the logic, because it makes Donald look pretty clueless to the rest of us.

For example, can you speculate on the "for some reason" that she tested positive?

Donald tends to talk first, and think it though later... of course, Donald tends to do a lot of things first and think them through later.

It's allegedly one of his endearing qualities; his followers like to claim he "shoots from the hip" and "tells it like it is" -- when they're not saying "he didn't really mean ______..."

He did say the tests were perfect...but the concept of testing was flawed.
