Oh dear. Pres Trump is about to open his mouth in a press conference.

[durangodawood]

I'm torn between normal curiosity and morbid curiosity.

 

[Desk trauma]

Oi Vey.

 

[Cimorene]

There's def. reason to be concerned! I made a thread (in a restricted section don't post there if you're not allowed to) talking about the chaos & confusion bc of Trump having misspoken in his last national address.

 

[SeventyOne]

This is such disgusting behavior. Grow up.

 

[MorkandMindy]

I think the press actually lie more than the politicians.

 

[durangodawood]

This is such disgusting behavior. Grow up.

Seriously we've already seen how it helps everyone if the pres would just stay off the podium. Someone else could make the relevant factual announcements.

 

[durangodawood]

This is such disgusting behavior. Grow up.

What actually is disgusting is watching him miss no opportunity to self congratulate.

 

[durangodawood]

One somewhat freaky thing: watching one corporate health industry exec after another grab the side of the podium with their bare hands after Trump was grabbing it..... Trump whos known to have had a meeting with an infected person.

 

[durangodawood]

Pence has a really nice reminder that the old people most vulnerable to C19 are valuable, directly confronting the bankrupt notion we hear that this virus isnt so bad because it mainly kills old people.

 

[rambot]

This is such disgusting behavior. Grow up.

THAT is disgusting behaviour?

You must have been completely incensed when he mocked a disabled person.

Trump declares a national emergency to combat coronavirus Trump declares a national emergency to combat coronavirus - CNNPolitics

We have things that I can do, we have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act," Trump told reporters Thursday in the Oval Office, referring to the federal law that dictates national disasters and emergencies. "I have it memorized, practically, as to the powers in that act. And if I need to do something, I'll do it. I have the right to do a lot of things that people don't even know about."

Who talks like that?!?

I always say you have to earn disrespect. I presume respect for another person until disrespect is earned. And Trump earned it in that vile moment.

 

[rambot]

Who talks like that?!?

"I have it memorized". It makes me so sad how he just lies without thinking or caring.

And that we are just supposed to think it's okay.

And that when we mention that a leader shouldn't lie so frequently WE are told we are being unfair or that the arbiters of lying (reality) can't be trusted.

I completely missed that! How did I miss that?

Perhaps I was too focused on the sycophantic way the contributions of the experts was credited to Trump. A complete contrast with Boris Johnson's press conference yesterday, where the two experts came across as professionals who would ensure their teams delivered the same high standard of work independent of which party and which PM was in charge.

It is troubling that, as others have noted on other threads he neither looks well, nor sounds well. Several of the passages he has read from script are read as if he is unaware of the meaning. His pitch is not usually so close to monotonic.

This deserves WAY more winner ratings than allowed to give.

I've never seen a person who demands such constant reassurance that he's the best, the boss, the best boss, etc.

But, in all fairness, you've never met me.

Oh and @Ophiolite please apologize for me to Oxford for stealing their comma. Thanks.

 

[durangodawood]

Good grief, any question that at all challenges Trumps decision making he calls "nasty question".

I went to University in Oxford. I wasn't an undergraduate. I'd had four pints at lunch and just needed a rest room.
