Botched press conference today not a good look for POTUS on the deadliest day of this crisis thus far. Not after this Navy thing, this press secretary thing, suspending stimulus oversight thing. He says there is light at the end of the tunnel but he is a pathological liar so no smart person takes him at his word. You can only trust Trump to be Trump.

Not a good day for the POTUS.

Didnt watch it - what exactly did he do wrong, other than trying to spread some (distant!) hope during the darkest hour?

Yes trying to act like a wartime president facing down a foreign invader. He is not offering hope he is he is doing nothing to inspire hope. He says there's a light at the end of the tunnel on the worst day of this, After claiming he takes no responsibility for what happens, and moving the goal post every single day.

I am going to ask you since you endorse his style of leadership, What is wrong with pragmatism and consistency? Why do you constantly defend erratic behavior and inconsistency? I'm basing this question off of your posting pattern here and claim there isn't a better alternative. Trump is clearly your preferred leader.

It is a clown show. This guy is way beneath Obama in character and in leadership ability

He's a step below bush and he was already only barely acceptable

Your words are laced with emotion. No facts mixed with the derangement syndrome.

Academics keep revising down the estimate of deaths because of how well the measures are working.

Lol, not even close. I was never a fan of Trump's leadership style, or of his erratic behavior and conduct. My support for him is rooted in policy agreement and my awareness that someone combining his agenda with this kind of charisma/appeal to the masses wont be easy to come by again.

There is nothing wrong with pragmatism and consistency - just note that this virus has caught virtually all governments around the world on the wrong foot. Virtually everyone had to correct course at some point, had to produce inconsistencies. Compared to other countries/world leaders, Trump's response to the virus ranks fairly low, dont get me wrong; I dont dispute that. What I am disputing is your notion that his response has been singularly bad. Just like I, more generally speaking, disagree with the assessment from the left about how bad and harmful his conduct actually is.

liberals: Trump is the devil
me: no, he's not
liberals: why do you defend him so much?

They're so used to the media agreeing with their every neuroticism that when reality does disagree with them it makes them short circuit.

Get well soon!

It hasn't even hits all the states in earnest yet. Just now getting here. Nursing homes went from none to ALOT since yesterday.

The measures are working so good yet we've had the worst day so far and it's ramping up now?

We all know you have shitty judgment. It's funny the republicans have been anti academics for so long now they're citing academics. I hope your mental gymnastics pay your bills. The only derangement is still supporting this guy.




You're so used to getting tea bagged on this forum you don't even taste my nut sack anymore.

I can't watch them anymore. Too depressing.
