Thing is, he might actually be right about that, in a roundabout Darth Shit-for-brains way! The virus could mutate into a relatively harmless form, or just die out for reasons we don’t understand. Or it could lay waste to populations, no way of guessing. Now. What if you could press a button that would cause coronavirus to go poof! and disappear, and Il Douche gets credited with a miracle…would you do it? Kinda have to, wouldn’t you? ---

We’re no longer worrying about swine flu, or West Nile Virus, or bird flu, or SARS. This one will “go away” eventually, too. It won’t go poof, and it won’t be a miracle, and hell no Trump won’t deserve any credit for it. ---

He claimed that after failing to replace the Affordable Care Act in 2017, he made the choice to manage “the carcass of ObamaCare” rather than sabotage the law, and “we’re managing it fantastically.” :smack: I guess by talking out of several sides of his mouth simultaneously and contradicting himself repeatedly, he can send to each of his adoring fans whatever message they want to hear. Kind of like the Tower of Babel. In his case, the Tower of Babble. ---

He’s not even a good con man. He doesn’t dazzle with false details or use a couple of key words to show he at least has a tangential idea of the subject matter. He just says he’s the best ever at \ and his followers automatically suck it up. How does anybody not see right through him in the first three seconds? ---

The virus could mutate into a relatively harmless form, or just die out for reasons we don’t understand. That happens, but it doesn’t happen in every individual of the species all at the same time, it’s not the Ziegfield Follies.

I thought his speech was technically awful. His tone was flat & he put unnatural pauses in it like he was pausing at the end of a line of text rather than a comma or a period. He’s been president for three years & was a TV star before that yet he sounded like a school student being called to the front of the class to read a random passage out loud. I’ve seen news footage from his various rallies; he’s much more animated & his speech flows better there. Is he _never_ following a teleprompter then? Did he not go over the speech a few times before he read it or was that his first time reading it? It sure sounded like the latter. ---

To practice would be to admit he isn’t the most perfect person who ever lived! Also boring! I doubt he uses a teleprompter for his rallies, instead opting for a combination of whatever pops into his atrophied brain and his standard canned words and phrases such as “lock her up,” hoax, tremendous, beautiful, etc and calling his opponents names. ---
