The Trump Presidency: Part 21

[phiwum]

Obama was responsible for original sin.

You don't really think that Trump believes in original sin. Or is he product of the second Immaculate Conception?

 

[phiwum]

Okay, leaving aside the issue of why he thought it was so important to point this out (quiet part quiet, natch), can we comment on how amazingly precise that data is? So, somewhere between 20 and 50%? I'm so glad these guys are on top of the data like this!

Dead old people don't count. Duh.

Hate to rehash what's easily available in wikipedia. (But, I do think its probably a decent source for historical information like this.)

Nobody knows when the 'first' case actually occurred, but some possibilities:
- A british military hospital in France in 2016- A january outbreak in Kansas
- China, with later mutations coming in the Boston area

I blame Obama personally.

Wait, I thought Covid-19 was the smart virus. Now the 1918 Influenza virus actually started in 2016? Time traveling viruses? I blame Bill Gates for the lizard people vaccine!

Finally, a vaccine for Facebook.

Necroinnumeracy is a social problem. That's why Sesame Street invented the Count, but he just can't handle it all himself.

Fox were willing to carry their lies and insanity for 18 months, and to feature them on their network. Apparently, they've now decided that they're a liability because they've gotten too far "out there." If I let somebody live in my house for 18 months while I know that they're going out and setting fires, and then kick them out five minutes before the cops show up to arrest them, that doesn't suddenly make me innocent. Fox News has lots of blood and destruction on its hands, they're only a small part of it.

Still we can hope a little. When you see rats jumping off a ship, it usually says something about the ship. So we can hope that the Fox folks have some predictive ability.

Shouldn't the media say something when POTUS shows up with pupils the size of pie tins?

But... why would they?

One of these days, he's going to realise how ridiculous he looks, with the contrast between the Cheeto topping and those sad-looking eyes devoid of it.

I gotta say, he looks like a sick man these days, but the eyes in that shot are something else. Does he do meth?

Fake news. I was posting sarcastically. Duh.

No. His handlers walkied into the Oval Office and said, “we tested this statement with focus groups and if you ever repeat it, your ratings will go down. Do you understand me?”

President Trump doesn’t do shame.

I don't think so. His handlers may be evil and cynic, but they are not fools. If they could control him like that, the whole picture would be different. ... Albeit not less scary.

I know it is a trivial aspect compared to the much more serious problems that are Trump, but I can’t figure out the hair and the awful orange “tan”. He is a wealthy person. He also has access to hair stylists and cosmetologists by virtue of being president. Is this the best he can do? Especially the incredible fake orange toning that doesn’t reach his eyes or ears. It is so obviously fake and makes it so clear that his actual skin tone is a pasty, sick looking white. Does he not notice? With his ego I doubt he does not care.

And yes there have been proposes he does meth. Or gobbles Sudafeds like candy.

Actually some people THINK he is a wealthy person. Others think he is actually flat broke, living day to day on borrowed money that he can scam.

And even if he could afford a good stylist, there would be 2 problems...
1) he would have to pay them
2) one other person would know how bald/flabby/pasty he is. (Well many of us already know he is balding/pasty, but trump is too dumb to know we know)

Given that the 1918 flu pandemic began in the US should the the world start calling it US flu? Is the US government to blame for failing to control the 1918 flu pandemic?

If I was given the opportunity to ask a question to Trump at a press conference those are currently top of my list.

He wouldn't know what you were talking about as he repeatedly refers to it as the 1917 Spanish flu pandemic.

When President Trump looks in a mirror, he does not see the huge color difference between his cheek and his eyes. He does not see thinning hair. He sees himself in his prime. That’s the plus side of narcissistic personality disorder: you never look in the mirror and see anything bothersome.

He got his annual physical and told the doctor to say he weighs 220 pounds. This guy thinks he can pass for 220. That’s how distorted his perception of himself is.

The highlighted is probably a typo, but somehow it seems appropriate. (I associate "waikie" with taking a dog outside so it can its "business.")

There have long been stories about Trump and a few drugs. Snorting Adderall comes to mind, for example.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Been hearing this for some time now yet no evidence of this has been presented. Quelle surprise.

He shoots up Lysol.

We know he has tried to resolve his baldness with medical treatments. His first wife documented his physical assault on her after an apparent unsuccessful treatment. And remember it is not him that is orange, it is the low energy lights that make him look orange.

(I’ve just realised why he doesn’t like “low energy” bulbs, for him “low energy” is a bad thing thing, he calls people he is attacking “low energy” as an insult, therefore low energy lights must be a bad thing.)

He had a scalp reduction to remove the bald part.

Three percentage point drop in about 20 days. Give me a call when he's down at least 12 percentage points. That would mean a lot. Three points - not so much.

I can’t link right now, but his approval rating specifically regarding his handling of the crisis is down 22 points overall, 9 points among Republicans.
