Trump: I didn't say the country will be back to business in a week, but "soon," not "three or four months as some people were saying and a lot of people thought originally."

Trump now downplaying things by talking about how many flu and driving deaths there are every year... great.

Trump: "You look at automobile accidents. Which are far greater than any numbers we're talking about. That doesn't mean we're going to tell everybody no more driving of cars."

How does he know this? States and businesses closed things down not him. He no longer has any control.

The General · Mar 23, 2020

This is their plan. That sheet. People aren't following it you just refer them back to the sheet. Oof

Driving with the flu is tough. Always looking for a public bathroom.

mcintyre1 · Mar 23, 2020

I think it is pretty obvious why Fauci isn't around for this one. He can't agree with the stance the Administration is taking right now re: loosening lock downs etc.

All this talk of hoarding is starting to bother me. Just for the record I only have 4 rolls of toilet paper right now.

Humor or serious?

No shtick, I have IBS. I generally look for a deal online and buy 5 cases at a time. Have been doing this for a LONG time. I have 2 cases left. :oldunsure:

“I’m not talking months, I can tell you that” he just said

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1242224735674662918

Trump asked if he's talking about opening up the country in weeks or months: "I'm not looking at months."

Wait, so is he recommending the quarantine end in 7 days, or not?

Explicitly? No. In his roundabout way that he always speaks? Yes.

The General · Mar 23, 2020

Barr has a terrible poker face. He knows how ####ed this is every time Trump starts rambling.

squistion · Mar 23, 2020

Talking again about the "obsolete system we inherited"

He said we’ll evaluate after 15 days is up

IOW Monday 3/30

Trump says people get "tremendous anxiety and depression" from economic situations like this (or maybe and/or social restrictions), and "you have suicides over things like this, when you have terrible economies." He says this kind of death will exceed death from the virus.

That's painfully obvious at this point. Zero leadership or plan.

Exactly.

I could also use some of those Clorox wipes to get all of the ice cream cake off my keyboard.

Asked if the cure has been worse than the disease so far, Trump says, "I think the cure has been very tough." He says, however, that we've already "fixed" some things.

For about that one week that one woman has looked at Trump with no but respect and almost admiration in her eyes

NOT HAPPENING TODAY

squistion · Mar 23, 2020

Trump: "I don't think you'll have another event like this."

I hear that thousands of Italians commit suicide every week.

timschochet · Mar 23, 2020

Exactly.

He’s not committing himself to anything. Did you really expect him to?

Mama Mia!

timschochet · Mar 23, 2020

Now he’s arguing against the doctors.

squistion · Mar 23, 2020

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1242226186752794628

.@kaitlancollins, who's been great, asks Trump if any doctors on his team have agreed that it's right to ease guidelines in week.

Trump: "If it were up to the doctors, they may say let's keep it shut down -- let's shut down the entire world."

Trump continues to scoff at expert medical advice, wrongly saying doctors would want a shutdown for "years." He says, "You can't do that with a country - especially the #1 economy anywhere in the world, by far...you can't do that. It causes bigger problems than the original."

No, but some sense of having a plan would be nice.

The General · Mar 23, 2020

Dear god. Please end this, someone help him.

mcintyre1 · Mar 23, 2020

I really want to know what Barr said when he leaned over to Pence in the middle of this rambling.

timschochet · Mar 23, 2020

Now he’s saying we can get away with closing down some areas and not others. No problem!

Leroy Hoard · Mar 23, 2020

That subway rant was something.

Pressed on whether any doctors on his team have endorsed easing the guidelines fast, Trump says "not endorsed," but they all talked together, and "I think they're okay with it, and I'm okay with it." (Again, Fauci is not at this briefing.)

BobbyLayne · Mar 23, 2020

hopefully that’ll take care of itself

Only God can help us now. Trump has failed yet again.

There's a time and a place to end it. Now is not the time, nor is this the place, when we have to actually get something done.

Leroy Hoard · Mar 23, 2020

I'm sorry but if it wasn't so serious this would be hilarious.

mcintyre1 · Mar 23, 2020

Trump acting like it's "some people" blaming the virus on China leading to violence and threats against Asian Americans. No acknowledgement of his own statements.

squistion · Mar 23, 2020

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1242227728012713984

Asked why he decided to speak up for Asian Americans, Trump says, "It seems that there could be a little bit of nasty language toward the Asian Americans in our country and I don't like that at all. These are incredible people."

hammerva · Mar 23, 2020

The more I listen to him the more I am getting pissed thinking about those Bernie Bros who keep telling me that BIDEN IS JUST LIKE TRUMP

The General · Mar 23, 2020

Does anyone have any idea what he has said in the last 20 minutes? I think there are some plans in the works to announce how to get back to work at some point soon but not everyone but some people.

Everything else was a complete nonsense.

You mean like calling it the "Chinese Virus?" But who could possibly stoop so low as to try and name it that?

mcintyre1 · Mar 23, 2020

Good question from that reporter -- "If things are going to return to normal in 'weeks not months', is a $2 trillion bailout necessary?"

Points out how wildly out of step Trump's claims are with what everyone else expects to happen.
