He does so much right, then he suggests taking a disinfectant internally.

I love the man, but sometimes I wish he’d stem the stream of consciousness.

Do you get paid for your BS posts about our president like this bs lie?

Fauci knew in late February that the mortality rate “would be considerably less than 1%.”

Nope. The media sliced and diced what he said to make him look bad. Trump does do himself damage with personal attacks and teenage-like ranting on Twitter sometimes. This time though, nothing wrong with what he said.

I always like to peek at the hair on fire headlines on Drudge. Over 50,000! OMG. Well, we would most likely be still around 45,000 except they changed how they calculate the numbers. Liberals love to have fun with numbers. Wish that fairy land they live in was real. Would be a great place to hang out if you didn’t have to actually work for a living and put food on the table.

New York is already at 1053 deaths per 1 million people.
That's 0.1% dead with a lock down.

New York might have up to 14% infected. But until we know the specificity of the antibody test used, that could be overstated due to statistical error.

Stanford had to retract their antibody test study because of statistical error.

Does it ever get old accusing people of being liberals because they don’t fall in line? You behave just like a liberal.

Yeah, well now he says he was being “sarcastic”.

Pull your head from out of … the sand.

THe President did not suggest any such thing. He merely pointed out that bleach-based (i.e., salt-originating) substances may ameliorate the illness, espeially when comobined with UV heat. It could well turn out he is right about that analysis, too.

Mich as the media like to portray Trump as a know-nothing boob, quite the opposite is the case. He is shrewd, instinctive and follows his convictions.

I’m a citizen, not a fan boy. Donald Trump is the president, not some infallible demigod. President Trump is saying he was being sarcastic, which would indicate that he said it.

There’s no one on the national scene I’d rather have as president. But that doesn’t mean I don’t believe he ever makes mistakes. You know, that’s how the left is with Obama, the chosen one. I’d rather not be like them.

It was obvious early on that the mortality rate was nowhere near what they doomsayers were hyping... At least to the general population. To certain subsegments it is very high... but overall it is very very low.

Trump talked about disinfectants and UV rays being potential salves for the virus. There is proof emerging that is the case. Specify why you think it was a blunder for him to say so.

of course POTUS makes mistakes. But you’re implying what the President said is a mistake. The emerging clinical evidence suggests quite the opposite.

As for being a fanboy, I don’t know that is. All I did was challenge your assertion. Rather than address it, you resort to backhanded jabs. Why is that?

Did he or did he not mention disinfectants and then the possibility of using them ‘inside the body’? That was a poor choice, rhetorically - especially considering how dumb the average viewer is. So, a rhetorical blunder, should have stopped after the UV light comments. Was he responding to a question? either way, should have said, “we are investigating all avenues” —much harder to spin.

“Why is that?”

I’ll let you look up fanboy. Look, what he said was a mistake. If it wasn’t a mistake, why would he say he was just being sarcastic?

Thanks, I’ll wait.

“Specify why you think it was a blunder for him to say so.”

There are a couple of possibilities that come to mind. It wasn’t a blunder, and he said he was being sarcastic. But, why be sarcastic when you’re right?

Or, it was a blunder, and he said he was being sarcastic to cover his blunder.

Indeed they are clueless about the real world they make tings up because the can’t understand reality and love to play with their ego.
