President Trump Thread...

[yimyammer]

The real issue is that he consistently dismissed it early on as nothing

was anyone in their right mind seriously waiting with baited breath for marching orders from the president? (and I'd say the same thing whoever was president)

 

[yimyammer]

And you're glossing over the impact of him politicizing common sense shit for his own gain.

good point, no one in Washington ever does shit like this, Trumps an outlier in this regard

 

[yimyammer]

Forget Biden. Public health professionals did the very same thing, forfeiting their credibility in the process. Everything is hopelessly politicized these days, and science is no exception.

cueing Jsmith's meme in 3, 2 ...

 

[yimyammer]

So what does everyone think about Trump getting covid?

Is it a wrap if he doesnt recover ASAP 100%?

Looks like Biden dodged the debates from here on out (but Im not sure whether he might have benefitted from the last one)

That's something I've noticed about the left, that they seem to want to be "led" by a "leader." I, and I think most on this side, don't see "leaders" that we take marching orders from. We just see politicians -- who are mostly very flawed career opportunists -- who enact policy that makes better sense than what the other side pushes.

I can't even relate to wanting to take my cues from some figure up in Washington or anywhere else. But I see that kind of sentiment on Twitter from the left all the time.

Is this a joke I dont get?

 

[Cotton]

That's a pretty nice leap in logic.

Equating supporting protesters (and I guess by extension those who protested mask less?), a basic American right, and actively mocking and even vilifying one of the most basic ways to deter a pandemic that is unanimously agreed upon by your own public health agencies.

Awesome.

So, what's your take on keeping churches shut down and preventing the practice of religion... you know, another basic American right?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Being taken to Walter Reed now. Don't know if they'd do that anyway or if he's gotten worse.

Trump Preemptively Pens Dying Wish Canceling Out RBG's Dying Wish

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Lying ill in the White House, Trump weakly asked for a pen and paper. Once these had been retrieved for him, he wrote out his dying wish -- just in case the worst should happen -- canceling out Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dying wish.

Jerry Jones expresses 'sensitivity and concern' after President Donald Trump tests positive for coronavirus

Jerry Jones has reportedly donated $1 million to President Donald Trump in the past.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is concerned for President Donald Trump after Trump tweeted he tested positive for coronavirus. Jones addressed the situation Friday, expressing “sensitivity and concern” for Trump.

Jones made those comments unprompted while appearing on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

Jones also called Trump “the hardest worker you’ve ever seen.” Jones added, “Knowing him, he’ll be able to go right on through this and hopefully not miss a beat.”

Jones reportedly donated over $1 million to Trump in the past. The two also reportedly spoke numerous times when NFL players began taking a knee in 2017 as a form of protest against racial and social injustice.

Jones’ comments come just hours after Trump revealed he tested positive for coronavirus.

Trump said he and his wife, Melania Trump, both tested positive for coronavirus. Trump said they will immediately begin quarantining.

In the wake of Trump’s tweet, few athletes have weighed in on social media. Andy Roddick and Dick Allen tweeted support for wearing masks, though neither specifically mentioned Trump in their tweets.

That leaves Jones as the most prominent sports figure to comment on Trump’s positive coronavirus test.

CNN Releases Tapes Of Melania From Private Conversation. She Winds Up Looking Great.

On Thursday night, in a seeming attempt to abet a hatchet job on First Lady Melania Trump from her former friend, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who played tapes of private conversations the two women had engaged in, CNN inadvertently made Melania look good, as the tapes clearly debunked the idea that she is not close to her husband and showed her human side, as she bemoaned all the effort needed to get ready for Christmas.
Wolkoff was on CNN to push her new book, “Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady.” In the interview, Wolkoff consistently insulted Melania and President Trump with comments such as, “You know, she’s complicit in everything that’s going on,” “We are watching our democracy turned into a dictatorship at this point. And it’s a brainwash type of cultish,” and “The traditions of First Lady and President have gone out the window with this couple.”

Wolkoff even pontificated about the recent presidential debate, “I think that after watching the debate the other evening, and how disgraceful and how upsetting it was to see our leader act in such — I don’t even have the words to express how blatantly rude it was to act that way, like to see Melania walk on stage, to smile at him and gesture at him and to be okay with that type of behavior. I mean, the most important voice right now should be Melania’s voice. She has no voice as his wife. I mean, the one woman that we need more than ever isn’t coming to the plate because she has no ability to do so.”
Despite Wolkoff’s attacks, quotes from the tapes have inspired much praise for Melania. They included Melania dismissing the claims that she doesn’t love her husband, as she stated, “Honestly, it’s like, because it’s, you know, it’s honestly, I’m doing the same stuff that I did before. They cannot stand him. They didn’t know that I’m with him.”
Cooper asked Wolkoff, “Is she a cheerleader for the President? Is she a supporter of the President? Does she like the President?”


Wolkoff admitted, “Yes, actually she does, very much so. I mean, Melania holds a role like no other person in the White House. I mean, anyone, she doesn’t shake in her boots ever. And she tells Donald exactly how she feels. She is his biggest cheerleader. And she does believe that, if he’s going to do it, he better do it right. And you better do it with brass knuckles, and he better do it now. And those are her words.”
Speaking on the tapes of the immigrant children at the southern border, Melania stated sympathetically:

All these kids that I met, they were — they are here in the shelters because they were brought by it through coyotes. The people who were trafficking. And that’s why they put them in jail. And the kids that they go in shelters and the way they take care of them, it’s, you know, they even said the kids, they say, wow, I will have my own bed, I will sleep on the bed, I will have a cabinet for my clothes. It’s so sad to hear it, but they have — they didn’t have that in their own countries. They sleep on the floor. They are, you know — they are taking care nicely there. But, you know, yes, they are not with their parents, it’s sad. But you when they come here alone, or with coyotes, or illegally, you know, you need to, you need to do something. And a lot of, you know, a lot of like moms and kids, they are teaching how to do it, they go over and they say like, oh, we will be killed by a gang member, we will be the — you know, we will be it’s — so dangerous. So they are allowed to stay here. Do you understand what I mean?

Defending herself from charges she hadn’t done enough as First Lady, there was this exchange between the two women, which included Melania targeting the Obama administration:

Melania: They say I’m complicit, I’m the same like him, I support him. I don’t say enough. I don’t do enough.
Wolkoff: No —
Melania: Where I am. I put — I’m working like a a** — my a** off at Christmas stuff that, you know, who gives a (inaudible) about Christmas stuff and decoration, but I need to do it right.
Wolkoff: Yes, but 100% you had no choice.
Melania: And OK. And then I do it. And I said I’m working on Christmas planning for the Christmas. And they said, oh, what about the children? They were separated. Give me a break. Where are they saying anything when Obama did that?
Wolkoff: I know.
Melania: I cannot go. I was trying to get the kid reunited with the mom, I didn’t have a chance, needs to go through the process and through the law.
Wofflko: But here’s my thing, here what you just said, but instead of that, if — you just — you’re messaging, you were so loved. You were.
Melania: They will not do the story. We put it out there, they would not do the story —
Wolkoff: Until —
Melania: You would not believe it. They would not do the story. Because they are not — they would not do the story because they are against us, because they are liberal media. Yes, if I go to Fox, they will do the story. I don’t want to go to Fox.

Cooper, ignoring the pointed remark Melania made against the Obama administration, disingenuously colored her remarks this way: “It’s so interesting … hearing her being hostile toward, you know, decorating the White House for Christmas.”

Cooper segued to what he called, “that infamous jacket that she wore on her trip to the border,” adding, “Which said, I really don’t care, I think, I don’t remember exactly. But you had a conversation with her about it. Let’s play that.”
On the tape, Wolkoff said to Melania, “So what prompted you to want to buy that jacket?”
Melania answered, “I’m driving liberals crazy, that’s for sure. And that’s, you know, that’s what — and they deserve it. You understand.”
Erstwhile friend Wolkoff replied, “I know.”

The media absolutely vilified Linda Tripp, even having a man play her on SNL. Let's see if Ms. Wolkoff gets anywhere close to the same treatment.
