> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > He only said one true thing yesterday. “I am not a doctor” Actually, that clown really should stop flapping his gums at “I am not”. If the propisition is _cogito ergo sum_, then given that the clown in question does not think, we would all be better off with the logical result! ---

Maybe he’s trying to trick Democrats into killing themselves but too stupid to realize it will be his base who follows his suggestion. ---

Do you remember, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away?” I propose, “Drink some bleach to keep the ventilator out of reach.” ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > Trump just admitted that when he said “injected” he meant the literally meaning, not some mechanism by which the medical community would incorporate it into their treatments. He also said it’s fine because he was being sarcastic. Trump would understand sarcasm because I am sure he is the best president ever. Sending in for position as speech writer for Trump ---

You can’t make him shut his fat stupid fucking gob because he lacks the capacity for shame or self awareness. Being in the media spotlight 24/7 is what he thrives on. This is how I took it. The smart people talked first, he didn’t grasp much of what they were talking about but instead tried to make sense of it in his own head, then couldn’t resist injecting himself into the conversation doing what he’s best at, bullshitting, and feigned like he knew exactly what they were talking about even going so far as to suggest he recommended the experts look into ideas he came up with then tried to come up with some of those genius ideas on the spot. Didn’t work out so well for him. ---

I’m sorry, **Hampshire** , but he not good at bullshitting. He merely thinks he is and that’s why he bullshits. The thing is, his bullshit is no good. ---

> [@burrunderthe\_saddle](#): > > Trump is just thinking outside of the box. Right. He’s thinking outside of a box and inside of his ass. He has brainstorming sessions there with his study group, Fox News. (Everyone knows that he just copies their work.) They fix up a pile of mental shit inside there, and then serve it up fresh and steaming hot to the U.S. public on national TV. Then all the morons go out and do whatever he says, because only a moron can’t see that he’s just pulling things out of his ass. ---

If Trump was just a blithering moron free-associating during a briefing, that’d be bad enough. But he’s a perfect target for sociopathic con artists: the world’s most gullible mark, in the world’s most powerful position. He’s garbling the message of these snake-oil monsters. These articles are worth the reading, but your brain’s gonna want bleach afterward. Children are harmed. ---

Honestly, if you’re stupid enough to drink bleach because Trump said it’d cure Coronavirus then you’re a dumb piece of shit and you deserve everything you get. I wouldn’t even blame Trump if someone did this. That’s how stupid it is. At some point you’ve got to blame people for listening to him. ---

For New Yorkers of a certain age, “at some point” was around 1983. ---
