TRUMP, What the hell is going on

[cliveb]

There's a known psychiatric personality disorder called "Grandiose Narcissism". If you check the symptoms, Trump is a classic example.

There are also laws in quite a few US states that require the authorities to detain people in hospital ("involuntary commitment") who are mentally unstable and are a danger to themselves or others (equivalent to sectioning in the UK).

Need I say more?

Four more years, four more years, four more years.

you just know what's going to happen. Americans will lose more lives than any other country. at the end of it all americans will say "we kicked coronavirus's butt. we won USA, USA , USA "
probably also make a movie about how they single handedly saved the world from the virus

Contagion-2.. will end with the last virus being eliminated on 4th of July...

I meant as far as the election is concerned.
We have no vote in November and that's all he's interested in, even if you're dying.
If everyone wants to watch this idiot lie to the American people for the next 7 months, good luck to them. I'll be focused on what's happening in the UK

Unfortunately he's quite possibly going to be the idiot that we are told will be our bestest friend overseas post 1st January 2021. Maybe he will be - good to know if he's to be trusted. The government was saying that they will make a call on the other important matter sometime early July - and they are going to have to do that with 'the idiot' still in office. Good luck to us.

He's found his fall guy, come on down the WHO you're this crisis lucky winner.

Just when you thought he couldn’t get any more narcissistic he has delayed the stimulus cheques being sent to those who urgently need them so that his name can be added on to them

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

And in case we were wondering why bother with what Trump is doing and saying in the US...well yesterday he stopped funding of the WHO with immediate effect - and (as I understand it) the US provides 25% of WHO funding.

He justifies this on the basis of assertions he makes for which he, or anyone, has little or no evidence, but which he hopes will divert attention from his own failings with his eyes on November.

By all means look at the actions, information and recommendations provided the the WHO late December 2019 and early 2020 (the WHO learning of the virus at the very end of December 2019 then building their understanding of it the early weeks of Jan 2020) when the pandemic is under control globally. But don't do this and cut their funding deep in the grimness of the pandemic.

By his actions Trump undermines the good that the WHO, and all who work for it, aim to do for all - the world over, and displays his cynical disregard for anything or anyone except himself. Next up? Fauci.

I really despise the cretin, however they make it soooo easy for his typical response, expect a tweet or fox rebuttal containing... Amazon Post, (lame stream media) Unnamed Sources (name the source), a reference to the cheques Obama issued or some other president which had there name on.

it's almost like they deliberately make it too easy for him, so he can quote them in his reply. hmmm, what could they possibly gain from a twitter spat with the President.

What if he's right??

 

[GreiginFife]

What if he's right??

He is right. That is leadership. It's the quality of a good leader that they are responsible no matter good or bad.
Trump never takes responsibility for the bad, only the good. The man is an idiot.

If something goes right, he's all over it. If it's even remotely negative it's either "fake news" or someone else's fault.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

What if he's right??

Right about the W.H.O taking the word of China and China not being transparent with the world and the W.H.O? Now I must remind myself of what Trump tweeted on 24th January

Mind you Trump does sometimes (sometimes?) show himself up so incredibly needlessly. Not quite sure he's actually read the book or seen the film - otherwise he'd know the hero... I think he believes that the Governors are the mutineers and that he's the captain...why the mutiny and what happened to the captain

Him and his administration really don't have a clue sometimes. Forever will be remembered is the:

"I know South Korea better than anybody," after boasting he knows the population of Seoul is 38 million. (quick Google search reveals 38m is the elevation).

 

[Robster59]

Well, he's at it again. This will be him getting his information from his head again. There must be lots of information in there as there's certainly no brain.
God help America if he continues in this vein.

That's a cracker!! Mind you he might equally have misread and misunderstood the area of the country being 38,622.57 as the pop - but no - 38m elevation of Seoul - honest to God...

Coronavirus: Trump says peak is passed and US to reopen soon

We were on a 'friends call' yesterday evening and one of us lives in New York State. She stated that her understanding was that things were going to be relaxed on 1st May. We suggested that from what we were hearing - even from Andrew Cuomo - that that wasn't going to be the case. That said - she was saying that many folks - even in New York state - were out over Easter Weekend and not bothering that much whatsoever with social separation - and that rather shocked us.

Looking at the article below, I think that America has a long way to go.
Coronavirus: Michigan protesters defy stay-at-home order
They have a number of issues we don't have compared to us. No healthcare system, unco-ordinated response between the States, infighting between the two big parties, the belief that freedom is more important than anything else (although I don't think getting your roots done is really top priority). Oh yes, and a lunatic for a President.
While the wrong messages come from the top, and there is no single message across the board, I can see this going on for a while. And at the moment, Trump is really underplaying this purely for his own political reasons, and stuff the man in the street.

One of their favourite sayings is "God Bless America!". At the moment I think it should be "God Help America!".
