TRUMP, What the hell is going on

[bobmac]

Trump has his estimate of deaths up to 250,000 - cynically some might suggest to make any final number look better in comparison.

And he has started comparing how well the US compares favourably in it's dealing with CV-19; the volume of PPE; and the numbers of ventilators - with the likes of the UK..just great...

And?

South Ayrshire Council have reduced the artists impressions for the new Trump Statue down to three.
The commissioned statue will be the focal point of the new Culzean roundabout on the A77 Turnberry road on the completion of the Maybole bypass later this year.

In fairness, how many variants of rear end with teeth can you have?

And?

..and?

And so he points at the UK and somehow feels that he can portray what UK is doing as a comparison against which to make what HE is doing look good. Even if the comparison is disingenuous and invidious - Trump is painting what he sees as comparatively bad. Thanks Donnie - what ever happened to the hoax?

I'd go for something that is like Billy Connolly's bicycle stand

Lady Doon has just twigged it is an AF after spitting feathers about it for most of the day

The man is an idiot, everyone knows that. We don't need reminding every day.
And your depessing negativity is not helpful at the present time.

It's just factual. He is an idiot whose self-obsession and lying over coronavirus will most likely result in thousands of deaths - unnecessarily. For anyone out there still a Trump fan there is little negative to complain about.

For anyone who'd rather not get a feel for what's happening in the US according to Trump - well the usual advice applies - perhaps don't come here.

And I'll note the title of this thread...never can it have been more apt - albeit in a different context.

1) You forget he is an idiot
2) 70% of his target audience think that US is the greatest country in the world.
2) The same 70% have never heard of most countries in the world except - I-rak, Australia, London, Paris, Scotland, Ireland and Italy... So Trump does not have many other countries to compare to anyways

I laugh at the way that some American films highlight the city as well as the country.
ie Paris..France and London ...England.
I wonder how their audience would react to British films doing the same Washington...America.

Washington.. Did you mean state or city?

 

[rosecott]

Not strictly Trump-related but gun shops in LA County, having been told to close as non-essential businesses, have now been told to re-open by a federal decision.

Or Tyne and Wear?

Lucky he didn't use Kansas. The Donald doesn't even know where that is.

He should ask Dorothy from Wiz of Oz - though he may think she is an illegal immigrant from Australia.

It is always funny when you meet people on American golf courses and you introduce yourself as 'from London'.. their next reaction is something along the lines .. London, yes i want to / have been to St Andrews..

From the main coronavirus thread

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/02/politics/anthony-fauci-deborah-birx-coronavirus-trump/index.html

An interesting article about the battle to convince Trump to listen to the scientists rather than the economists about the Coronavirus threat.

Note that now Trump has changed his tune about the way forward some GOP Govs are also changing their tune - see for example the astonishing chutzpah of the Governor of Georgia Brian Kemp...in what is a jaw-dropping claim that he made 2 days ago...the Joe and Mika clip is almost funny in their astonishment and despair at what Kemp said... and no idea how come Uncle Albert is doing the sign language on the steps...

Trump and his acolytes in the media and beyond are also currently very busy trying to rewrite history in a very Brave New World sort of way (not quoting from the book as such) but...

To maintain order in Brave New World, the Resident Controller must have complete authority over more than just the present; he must also have influence over the past. In order to be able to achieve this, he must be able to rewrite history. This gives rise to one of the most famous quotation from Brave New World, “All history is bunk.”
