Wow the world feels apocalyptic right now. I say this as I'm working from home today instead of the office.
The number of cases of Covid 19 are increasing and the economy is tanking. Who would've thought it would be a virus that destroyed and 11 year bull market economy. And Trump is just botching this up did anyone hear what he said in his speech last night? Here's some high lights.
"I see they've canceled their big soccer games, their championship games and a lot of other games. They've canceled a lot over in Europe and all over the world. So this is a big world problem."
Yes this is a "Big World Problem." He's got the best words remember that.
"We took the original boldest step of all when we closed very early with China. That helped us save thousands of lives. And we went very early with Europe."
The fucking virus is here Trump. The "lives" you've saved are unforeseen.
"But it'll be -- it'll go very quickly."
Uh huh.
"We'll be discussing some other moves that we're going to be making. And I think it's going to work out very well for everybody."
This was read of a teleprompter.
"And they're -- they're doing a very good job. They don't have very much infection at this point, and hopefully they'll keep it that way."
Referring to the UK who has 373 known cases at this moment. Yeah Trump didn't forbid travel to and from the UK.
"In the case of European Union, I've consulted with many people. And the same people, then they say, oh, he closed too fast, why did he close -- most of them said, why did he close with China? That turned out to be a great move."
THE VIRUS IS HERE AND IT IS SPREADING AROUND. IT DOESN"T MATTER WHEN YOU CLOSED TRAVEL WITH THOSE COUNTRIES!
"You know, you see what's going on. And so I just wanted that to stop as it pertains to the United States. And that's what we've done. We've stopped it."
No no you haven't.
"We have a big one in Tampa, all sold out. We had over 100,000 requests for tickets. But I think we'll probably not do it because people would say it's better to not do."
Referring to his campaign rallies. In wish I hope not giving him a platform to say stupid bullshit will hurt his election chances.
"And what is the number as of this morning? Is it 32? You could tell me. Is it 32 deaths, Steve, around that?"
38. The president doesn't know this number.
"I mean, think of it, the United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 32 deaths at this point."
Congratulations?
"Other countries, that are smaller countries, have many, many deaths. Thirty-two is a lot. Thirty-two is too many. But when you look at the kind of numbers that you're seeing coming out of other countries, it's pretty amazing, when you think of it."
This sentence that sounds like it was said by a fifth grader was said by the president of the United States.
This reminds of that scene from breaking bad, when after the in air collision of two jet airliners rocks the city of Albuquerque to it's core and Walter White has to stand up in front of the school auditorium and try to console any grieving members of the school body and instead goes off about how this disaster wasn't so bad because there were so many other disasters that killed so many more people.
"We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act. And we are -- we haven't -- I mean, I have it memorized, practically, as to the powers in that act."
He memorized all 192 pages of the Stafford act. I'm pretty sure he doesn't read.
"I have the right to do a lot of things that people don't even know about."
This line is terrifying.
"Look, we're in -- we're in great shape; compared to other places, we are in really good shape. And we want to keep it that way. That's why I did the ban with respect to Europe."
It's too late Trump.
"You have to remember, the stock market, as an example, is still much higher than when I got here."
In which he brings up the only thing he cares about in a speech to console a panicking population. And it's not by the way.
"They have a million tests out now. They're going to have, over the next few days, they're going to have 4 million tests out. And frankly, the testing has been going very smooth."
It's not and it hasn't.
"Well, I think the Democrats won't be having rallies, but nobody showed up to their rallies anyway, so what difference does it make?"
Zing! You feeling calmed down about this Coronavirus pandemic yet?
"My rallies are very big. They're very big rallies, and we'll be making a decision at the appropriate time."
I got the biggest Penis believe me.
"And I don't want people dying. That's what I'm all about."
This just makes me feel just so much better.
I really really hope we can get this fucker out of office this November. If this doesn't show just how incompetent and unsympathetic their leader is then I have no idea what is so appealing about him to hsi base.
