Possible Watershed Moment for Trump? (2 Viewers)

Keep that  southern border shutdown, Don. You're doing a great job there. Without your immigration stance, we would already be overrun with coronavirus.

He is so painful to listen to.  Just a bumbling fool.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

I'm excited to hear what he has to say. This is starting to get bad and it needs to be owned, if it is downplayed and turns bad, I can't fathom someone voting for the guy. 

If it is downplayed and nothing comes of it, I think he has 2020 locked up. Simply put, if he doesn't own it, he creates much more risk for his 2020 campaign, imo. 

We're rated #1 in preparedness!!! 

wait for it

 

[hagmania]

This speech is terrible!

Well, it was very simplified, not a complicated message, but very few details. Tagging out to others is probably ideal situation.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

He is so painful to listen to.  Just a bumbling fool.

I normally don't listen to him as it quite literally brings me pain. 

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Forget whether the substance of the speech is good or bad.  He can't speak. 

 

[JbizzleMan]

He seems disinterested and bored standing behind Pence...

 

[fantasycurse42]

Not a big downplay that there’s a threat so far, props on that.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Someone give the President his fidget cube.

How dare you not mention we're #1 in preparedness*?!!

*I look forward to one of you posting a pic of whatever it is he held up as proof.

Mine is a lifesaver for me ngl

we have to hate we have to hate

 

[lod001]

Futures were looking good with Trump at the mic, when this current dude started talking, they collapsed. Get him outta there!

It's a very good look to hand over these talks to the experts. That inspires confidence he will trust their guidance and we'll have a good handle on this if/when #### hits the fan.

 

[GoBirds]

Seriously, the faux hysteria over Trump's reaction to coronavirus virus might be apex Trump Hatred Syndrome.

Their manufactured drama was so far from reality but I wouldn’t expect anything less.

CNN thought it was such a watershed moment they cut away early to the townhall of Michael Bloomberg.

Really? Can't say I'm surprised. 

 

[Sheriff Bart]

Trump should share that bronzer with the rest of the folk on stage. 

 

[HellToupee]

Remember now Donald just returned from India and being in the sunshine in that stadium he’s all tanned up. 

 

[Skoo]

“I call them the original 15”

 

[The General]

His people probably ready to get him off the stage soon.

 

[hagmania]

His people probably ready to get him off the stage soon.

Yes. Shaky start followed by a very strong conference imo. End it soon.

 

[Skoo]

Remember now Donald just returned from India and being in the sunshine in that stadium he’s all tanned up. 

Do you think after he gets tan for real he changes his makeup routine at all? 
 

Or is it the same amount of makeup no matter what?

 

[The General]

Ok. Think we are done here. Nothing else is coming out of this.

 

[lod001]

Trump running over schumer and pelosi, as he should. They are 2 of worst people ever elected.

 

[The General]

Remember now Donald just returned from India and being in the sunshine in that stadium he’s all tanned up. 

He has the best make-up people, the best.

CNN thought it was such a watershed moment they cut away early to the townhall of Michael Bloomberg. 

MSNBC did the same.  Cut to Chris Mathews and the story about Trump furious about the stock market and underselling the virus.  Coming off his actual comments, it wasn't a good look. 

 

[GoBirds]

His people probably ready to get him off the stage soon.

Taking these questions from the fake news representatives probably isn’t the best idea. 

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Well, let him borrow it.

Futures were looking good with Trump at the mic, when this current dude started talking, they collapsed. Get him outta there!

I was watching the futures drop during that too.  I was waiting for a staffer to tap Trump's shoulder and him jumping back on the mic.

 

[Workhorse]

MSNBC went back to it just in time to hear Trump brag about his poll numbers and take shots at Pelosi and Schumer.

What great leadership in a time of crisis.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

The stock market drop is mostly because of democrat POTUS nominees according to Trump. 

Amazing Trump can't have a press conference, call for calm and unity, and leave the stage. 

 

[Jackstraw]

Immigration angle is especially vile. 

 

[fantasycurse42]

I respect this news conference somewhat. A little downplaying, but that should be expected. 
 

ETA: the sideshow is expected, I only care about Covid 19 in this conference.

 

[The General]

Taking these questions from the fake news representatives probably isn’t the best idea. 

No idea why they are asking and why he is talking about some of this stuff.

 

[Widbil83]

It was in response to stupid questions the media asked him about Chuckie and Pelosi trashing him, and it was a great response by the President. Complete smack down.

 

[GoBirds]

No idea why they are asking and why he is talking about some of this stuff.

They are rabid creatures and he can never resist the bait. 

 

[hagmania]

They're just fishing him with the stock market questions right? That is terrible.

 

[The General]

They are rabid creatures and he can never resist the bait. 

Well they do not talk to him very much and he doesn't have to answer.

Why he's talking about the stock market makes zero sense. Now he's talking about interest rates

 

[fantasycurse42]

This virus wouldn't be an issue at all if Jerome Powell would just get his idiot bankers to cut rates!!

How did this post not get more love, absolutely nailed it!

 

[Sheriff Bart]

It's so light (whatever that means) you probably won't even know if you have it.   

GOOD LORD 

 

[squistion]

Well they do not talk to him very much and he doesn't have to answer.

Why he's talking about the stock market makes zero sense. Now he's talking about interest rates

Trump turning “caronavirus” press conference into campaign speech.

 

[The General]

They're just fishing him with the stock market questions right? That is terrible.

Yes. And he's flopping around in the boat. I wish I could play this guy in poker!

 

[GoBirds]

With as much as he bashes the Fed no one can be shocked when they start jacking up rates just before the election to get him out of there. 

 

[The General]

Someone ask him about impeachment. He'll lose his mind here.

 

[Max Power]

They are rabid creatures and he can never resist the bait. 

They are trying SUPER hard for a soundbite.

 

[Jackstraw]

They are rabid creatures and he can never resist the bait. 

They haven’t had an actual White House press conference in 300+ days? 

 

[GoBirds]

They haven’t had an actual White House press conference in 300+ days? 

We can tell with some of these questions, these creatures have been pent up for awhile!

 

[Sheriff Bart]

"With ebola you disintegrated".

 

[The General]

They are trying SUPER hard for a soundbite.

All he has to do is say stay on topic. Don't take the bait. He has all the control in this situation.
