The 172nd Chapter Of Trumpski's Terrific Tragedy

[JackLuis]

The 172nd Chapter Of Trumpski's Terrific Tragedy began looking quite dim for Dimwit Donald.

As the sun rose this morning the Headlines were pretty grim for Donnie.


Trump ripped by conservative for moving on from being a mere ‘snake-oil salesman’ to ‘peddling death’ to his followers

“The darkly tongue-in-cheek Darwin Awards periodically disabuse us of the notion that nobody’s stupid enough to, say, consider injecting themselves with disinfectant to cure covid-19. That is, no one except, perhaps, Donald Trump,” she began.

The nation responded with,"You first Fat Boy!"

Trump’s COVID-19 ‘bleach gambit’ may have been the moment his supporters realized he’s dumber than they thought: columnist


‘You’ve lost your mind’: Internet rips Trump for boasting COVID-19 pandemic is headed towards a ‘Miracle end’


Ohio swing voters sour on Trump’s ‘lackadaisical’ pandemic response: ‘He feels like lives are expendable’


Trump’s death march to November: If they’re not his voters, let ’em die

And not to be topped:

Is Trump killing people on purpose?

Anderson Cooper slams ‘Soviet-style’ propaganda from Trump’s press secretary on bleach comments

“I know why the president didn’t take questions this evening,” said Cooper. “It’s interesting to me that Kayleigh McEnany, the new spokesperson, is over the top in her Soviet-like praise or rewriting of history on things, would say one thing, and then the president — they clearly didn’t coordinate their lies.”

“Going to your point, Anderson, there just isn’t enough disinfectant at the White House to wash away what the president did and the lies that were told to cover it up,” continued Acosta. “One of the reasons he cut short that briefing earlier this evening, my sources tell me, is the president was upset about the flak he was taking over his comments that people could use disinfectants to kill the coronavirus inside their bodies. Goes beyond that. Talking to sources inside the White House this evening, telling us there’s a discussion going on about paring down the briefings, making better use of them, because they feel like the president is getting diminishing returns.”

Trump Administration fails Biggly!:rolleyes:

Reports Of Bleach And Lysol Drinking Increase Day After Trump 'Sarcastically' Suggests It

Once upon a time, many years ago, Donald Trump opined that he could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot someone, and not lose any followers. He was not wrong about that. As we have learned, there is basically nothing he can do to lose the support of his base. If he does something they don't like, they'll change their opinion on it and swear they always felt that way. If he does something seemingly indefensible or says something obviously wrong, they will twist themselves into knots trying to defend it or find a way for him to actually be right. If he says to drink Lysol, goddamnit, they will get out their finest shot glasses and go to town.

And, it won't just be because they believe him, but because they feel they have a solemn duty to prove him right against his "haters."

As such, in the days following Trump's remarks about ingesting or injecting household cleaners in order to cure COVID-19, poison control centers have reported an uptick in people doing just that. WNBC reports that New York City's Poison Control Center got about 30 calls regarding exposure to these products in the hours following the presser — 10 calls about bleach, nine calls about Lysol, and 11 regarding other household cleaners. Luckily, none of these calls resulted in death or hospitalization.

Last year, on the same day, they got 13 such calls. That's a pretty big increase!

Of course, because people are often stupid on their own, without any help from Donald Trump, the CDC reported this week that there has been an all-over 20 percent increase in reports of people ingesting bleach, Lysol and other household cleaners since the beginning of the pandemic.

Trump Chumps thin the herd!

Chuck Todd claims it is ‘very important’ for MSNBC to keep broadcasting Trump’s coronavirus briefings

“There isn’t much else to say, you just saw it,” Todd said. “Because there is perhaps no better of an indictment of the president’s handling of this crisis than just hearing him suggest that ingesting disinfectant could treat the virus and then hearing him claim he didn’t say what we just heard him say.”

“And I know what some of you might be thinking in this moment, ‘Why would we air the president live — today — after all of this?’ Because we think that letting you see the president unfiltered in the moment, he’s the American — he’s the elected president, especially during a national crisis like this one. At the moment, it’s simply put, a very important thing for American citizens to see right now.”

Perhaps that is why Donnie decided that it wasn't worth his time to expose himself to the Nation if they are just going to laugh! He is not a comedian after all.

Trump bitterly complains about his press coverage after refusing to hold daily Coronavirus Task Force briefing

What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately. They get record ratings, & the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time & effort!

Trump’s COVID-19 failure shows his ‘omnipotent destructiveness’ — as he is ‘actively engaging in sabotage’: Psychologist John Gartner

Malignant narcissists are very sick people. They are sick in such a deep, disturbed and dark way that a normal person cannot comprehend such behavior. Therefore, normal, mentally healthy people cannot imagine or understand the mind of a malignant narcissist.

Trump is both denying responsibility by saying things such as, “I take no responsibility. We’ve done everything right.” But at the same time, Trump is also sabotaging the efforts to stop the coronavirus pandemic. This is a very important aspect of Trump’s behavior. Trump is not just deflecting blame onto the governors, he is actively interfering with the governors’ ability to do their job. Trump is not just incompetent. He is actively engaging in sabotage.

Yes Sabotage in Statecraft! Who's buns get so much butter?

Have you been stimulated yet?


Here’s the letter you paid for Trump to send to everyone getting a stimulus check

CNN news obtained a copy of the letter President Donald Trump is sending along with coronavirus stimulus checks appearing to take credit for the fact that Americans are getting money in the mail.

“We are fully committed to ensuring that you and your family have the support you need to get through this time,” the letter says. It then gives the amount that the person is getting and how. There’s a Spanish version on the backside of the letter.

Everyone gets a free Trump Signature to further stimulate them.

Where's mine????

My buns have been unbuttered!

Trump melts down demanding reporters return ‘Noble’ prizes he says they won for investigating him

President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that members of the news media are getting “Noble Prizes” for investigating his administration.

The president made the assertion in an afternoon rant on Twitter.

When will all of the “reporters” who have received Noble Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished “Nobles”

When will Trumpski learn how to spell Pulitzer?

Commenters quickly pointed out that Trump not only spelled “Nobel” incorrectly, but he also was mostly likely referring to Pulitzer Prizes that were awarded to reporters at The New York Times and Washington Post for their investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

U.S. jobless claims reach 26 million since coronavirus hit, wiping out all gains since 2008 recession

Another 4.4 million Americans filed for initial jobless claims last week, revealing that at least 26 million people have requested unemployment benefits since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

In just one month, all job gains since the Great Recession have disappeared, according to new data released Thursday by the Department of Labor. The economy had created around 22 million jobs since 2010, during a historic decade of economic expansion that came to an abrupt end in February.

“It is very easy with these numbers to get to 20 percent unemployment,” said David G. Blanchflower, a professor of economics at Dartmouth College.

Obama had a recession, Trump is getting a Depression biggly.

Trump ‘visibly agitated’ over Michael Cohen jail release and upcoming tell-all book on what ‘he’s said and done with women’

According to a report from the Daily Beast, Donald Trump was very displeased that his former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen was given an early release from jail due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Cohen, who had been serving three years as part of a plea deal over making hush-money payments in the service of the president, has been working on a tell-all book about Trump that is reportedly going to be released before the election.

Trump's Monday is not starting well.


‘You’re a moron, you’re an idiot, you’re a joke’: MSNBC’s Mika unloads on Trump’s coronavirus efforts

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski unloaded on President Donald Trump for trying to bluff his way through a public health crisis.

Trump insisted over the weekend that he was only joking when he suggested shooting sunlight inside of a person’s body to treat coronavirus, and bizarrely claimed he wasn’t even speaking to Dr. Deborah Birx — when video shows he was.

“He is putting her in a terrible position with a quack idea, and forcing her to talk about heat and light,” Brzezinski said. “She has to grasp for an answer and explain to him that maybe a fever, but no. No, you’re an idiot. You’re a moron is what she’s thinking, okay? You can see it on her face. I’m sorry, Mr. President, you put her in that position. This really reputable, credible, prepared woman, who spent her entire life getting ready for a crisis like this. You’re a joke. You try to make a joke of the entire situation.”

Things can only go up... you'd think?

Trump official trashes Kushner’s pandemic work

“[Jared] could be in his office just googling ‘coronavirus,’ show the results to the president, and still get a gold sticker from his dad-in-law,” one senior Trump administration official who works with the coronavirus task force tells the publication. “He is solving the coronavirus like he’s bringing peace to the [Middle East].

Additionally, The Daily Beast reports that “several of the projects that Kushner’s team has helmed to help do that are running behind schedule or are causing massive disruptions in the way states are handling their own coronavirus responses.”

In particular, state officials are saying that Kushner’s efforts at buying up supplies for the national stockpile has actually harmed their ability to secure needed equipment for medical professionals.

Trump obsessed with ‘settling scores’ even as coronavirus kills thousands of Americans every day

Covid-19 has no brain, yet outwits Trumpski at every move!

While every presidential administration has beefs with the press, Trump has used a “bazooka when a fly swatter would do.”

“And in the midst of a widespread national tragedy, he is so occupied by these gripes, and so concerned with settling scores, that he has oriented the White House in that direction. Even with thousands of people dying by the day,” writes Palmer and Sherman.

Trump demands an ‘alternative’ to Fox News as he rages at the network for trying to ‘become politically correct’

President Donald Trump demanded an “alternative” to Fox News over the weekend as he accused the right-leaning network of disseminating Democratic talking points “without hesitation or research.”

“@FoxNews just doesn’t get what’s happening! They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research,” Trump wrote. “They forgot that Fake News @CNN & MSDNC wouldn’t let @FoxNews participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates.”

“Even the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats laughed at the Fox suggestion. No respect for the people running @FoxNews. But Fox keeps on plugging to try and become politically correct. They put RINO Paul Ryan on their Board. They hire ‘debate questions to Crooked Hillary’ fraud @donnabrazile (and others who are even worse),” he added. “Chris Wallace is nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes. The people who are watching @FoxNews, in record numbers (thank you President Trump), are angry. They want an alternative now. So do I!”

Trumpen Troopers bailing on the PeeResident now that it looks like he's going down like the Trumptanic!

Brutal new ad whacks Trump for making ‘America first’ — in COVID-19 deaths

A brutal new advertisement from pro-Democrat super PAC Priorities USA takes President Donald Trump’s slogan of “America first” and throws it right back in his face.

“Donald Trump said he would put America first, and now he has,” the ad begins. “The United States leads the world in coronavirus cases. More 50,000 Americans dead, twice as many deaths as any other country. Over 26 million people have lost their jobs, and it’s only getting worse.”

Trump struggles to answer if he should be re-elected: ‘We’ve lost a lot of people, but…’

At President Donald Trump’s coronavirus press briefing on Monday, a reporter asked the president to explain why he deserves re-election, given that he has overseen a disaster that killed more Americans than the Vietnam War. The president frantically worked to try to provide an answer.

“We’ve lost a lot of people … but the original projections were 2.2 million,” said the president, adding that he believes the country is now on track to only have 60,000 deaths — something that is neither guaranteed nor addresses the fact that even more deaths could have been prevented with fewer mistakes on testing and medical supply distribution.

No, it won't end with 66,000 deaths until the end of this week, and then the second wave will strike as states begin to relax the Stay at Home rules.

Big companies that gave executives gigantic bonuses and paid massive fines got a huge chunk of ‘small’ business aid

Companies that paid millions in fines, doled out big executive bonuses, and donated to the Trump campaign were among the firms that received millions of dollars in aid aimed at helping small businesses weather the coronavirus crisis.

The Paycheck Protection Program was created in the $2.2 trillion stimulus bill to help small businesses that could no longer sustain themselves after large swaths of the economy shut down to contain the spread of the coronavirus. But the program quickly ran out of money and needed to be replenished after dozens of large companies secured millions in low-interest loans, which would be forgiven if the companies retain their employees.

Treasury Dept. screws the pooch and tax payers! Congress may have been too hasty to prevent Rethuglicunts from perverting the program. What a surprise?

Trump’s own testing chief says his promise of 5 million daily coronavirus tests is ‘impossible’

During a press briefing at the White House on Tuesday, President Trump claimed that the U.S. will be able to carry out five million coronavirus tests per day. But according to a top official overseeing the effort, that goal is nowhere near achievable given the technology that’s available, TIME reports.

“[T]here is absolutely no way on Earth, on this planet or any other planet, that we can do 20 million tests a day, or even five million tests a day,” Admiral Brett Giroir told TIME. Since the beginning of the year, the Administration has conducted 5.7 million tests in total.

It is quite possible that our PeeResident doesn't not know what the truth is, so he pulls his responses out of his ass. Yes, this is the truth!

The monster lie that paved Trump’s way to the presidency — and how to defang it

The lies spewing from President Trump clearly cannot be stopped. But they can be defanged, and the place to start is with the one monster lie that paved the way for all that followed.

This mother of all Trumpian lies first began to take shape on July 17, 2015. It seemed fairly harmless, and even amusing, at the time. “He’s not a war hero,” Trump famously groused about Senator John McCain during a Republican primary event in Ames, Iowa. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Trump’s Republican foes quickly went for the kill. “If there was ever any doubt that Donald Trump should not be our commander in chief, this stupid statement should end all doubt,” declared Sen. Lindsay Graham. “A new low in American politics,” commented future energy secretary Rick Perry. Politico, sensing a turning of the tide against Trump’s insurgent popularity just a month after he’d announced his candidacy, eagerly reported, “Donald Trump might have finally crossed the line.”

Rethuglicunts have no line that can not be crossed.

Devastating analysis shows how Trump officials ‘engaged in a coverup’ of the COVID-19 pandemic

In late February, even as it became clear that the novel coronavirus was poised to rage like wildfire across the United States, President Donald Trump and his administration systematically tried to downplay the threat the disease posed to the American public.

In a devastating timeline compiled by New York University School of Law professor Ryan Goodman and NYU School of Law student Danielle Schulkin in the New York Times, it becomes clear that the president and his administration tried to cover up the threat of the virus, despite the fact that government agencies internally were sounding alarms about the dangers it posed to Americans’ well being.

Once again we see that the PeeResident is not a "Stable Genius" but is an Unstable Fucking Moron, and the Rethuglicunts are supporting him to distract the people from the truth.

The GOP has, in their desire to control the country for the benefit of the 0.01%, has joined Trumpski in perpetuation LIES and Misinformation. Exactly like Bush & Co. lied about WMD and Saddam's complicity in 9/11, to control Iraq's oil.

What is even more frightening is that Trump Chumps blithely follow his bullshit just to 'own the Libs'! While the GOP sets them up to die in thousands for Mammon!

Jared Kushner says the Trump administration is “doing a lot of things right” and has created a “great success story” in how its handled the coronavirus pandemic, just one day after the United Stated passed the one million mark in COVID-19 cases, and is rapidly approaching 60,000 deaths.

“The federal government rose to the challenge, and this is a great success story, and I think that, that’s really what needs to be told” Kushner, a Senior Advisor to the President, told “Fox & Friends” Wednesday.
