The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making

The exact boundary is hard to pinpoint as he melts down under the inescapable realization that his reflexive response to a problem (bury it under a flood of bullshit) won’t work this time.

Continuing the “There’s a Trump tweet for everything”:

Trump on leadership:

Trump on responsibility:

How about ‘CoRonna’ McDaniel (Romney)? Showing symptoms of flu and being tested for SARS-CoV-2.

Sorry, x-post, but:

Fuck. You. John. Cornyn.

Seconded

Expect to see long, unexplained absences from the public eye for Trump and his family.

Trump’s cult needs to believe that he’s super-human and therefore can’t get sick. The cult also needs to believe this trait extends to his immediate family.

Therefore there will be no admissions that any of them are ill. Instead, various excuses for their absence from all appearances before cameras will be made.

This could go on for weeks.

Is this really true? Cite?

At dinner tonight, I mentioned that Trump was getting tested but there was no way anything but a “negative” result would be announced. A few minutes later, CNN reported Trump tested negative. I commented, “Of course he did.”

Timeline seen on Facebook:

January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”

February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”

February 25: “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”

February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”

February 26: “We’re going very substantially down, not up.”

February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

February 28: “We’re ordering a lot of supplies. We’re ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”

March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don’t think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”

March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”

March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”

March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”

March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”

March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”

March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”

March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

March 6: “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”

March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine-tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”

March 9: “This blindsided the world.”

March 13: Ordered National Emergency.

Apparently, the virus is not respecting the fantasy world that Trump and his hard-core supporters live in.

Don’t worry. Jared Kushner has Facebook working on it for him and, hopefully, those elements of medical have been deployed by now.

Don’t you mean “for everyone else”?

It’s almost like he’s copying the actions of some leader he admires, nay, professes to love.

Speaking of timeline, I just saw on twitter (a tweet just below that clown Cornyn’s tweet linked above) that Devin Nunes is spreading the Breitbart BS blaming the Democrats for this virus because, you guessed it, the “Democrats pushed impeachment while the coronavirus spread”. Wow. Talk about a lack of awareness on the part of a certain political group, and I’m not referring to the Democrats.

Ah, shit.

Lighten up.

I hate GOP as the next guy but it’s just dark humor…which we all need at a time like this.

The Senate is on weekend vacation, not voting on the COVID bill, so, no: Fuck him, Asahi.

You know what, JT?

You’re right, and I’m wrong.

Take a screen shot now. I won’t admit this often.

Shoot, asahi, I was going to take a screenshot of you telling someone to lighten up. :slight_smile:

A double-win for JohnT! This is almost as good as that time I was triple-ignored by SamuelA. :smiley:

It’s a Doper Love-In. Kumbaya. Where are my beads and my bell-bottoms.

I’ve got a shit ton of beads (being a South Louisiana guy around Mardi Gras time), but I ain’t got no bell-bottoms.

Nah, I gotta give credit where credit is due. JT knows his shit.

He missed probably the most relevant one from ole Harry Truman’s desk: “The buck stops here.”

Damn dirty fucking lying sack of dung cannot tell the truth no matter what is happening: He claims Google is making a website that they are not.

He needs to be removed from office. If Congress won’t do it, the Cabinet should. We really do not have until November to dick around with this jackass as president.
