Trump Shamefully Keeps Press Conference Going Because He ‘Has Nothing Else to Do’

Dr. Donald J. Trump ND (No Degree) appeared again at today’s press conference to sort through a few things that “people are saying.” He again – even though doctors are warning about the possibilities of “wrongly using” some dangerous medicines, Trump said “he doesn’t see why someone wouldn’t” take the medicines.

Apparently Dr. Donald J. Trump ND has never heard of side effects or thinks all side effects are fake news.

Trump also went right back to victim-shaming (he specializes in this, having practiced with women for years). Yesterday it was saying that the heroes in NYC and the surrounding area were hoarding or selling masks. Today, the man who gave us “the lost month” aka #theLostMonth of February, then blamed New York and New Jersey for being “late” in responding to the disease.

That is entirely disgusting.

Trump started the press conference in a somber and much more respectful tone. But as soon as he got into reporters’ questions, he went right back to being a smart ass, congratulating himself once again – as he does in every single press conference – for stopping flights and direct channel from China.

He didn’t mention that from that point on, he called it a Democratic hoax, and put it on the media, while New York and New Jersey braced for the problem.

Yes.

And this is absolutely true. The next area that is going to be hammered by the disease is Florida and the Southeast, where I live, where 2 Trumper governors are doing their best to ignore the disease. Our governors are saying “essential businesses” can stay open, but leaves it up to the businesses to decide if they are essential and even allowed offices to stay open.

I wonder what the MAGA-heads will have to say when the disease sweeps over the southeast. We know that Trump will say that they were behind it, or that 90% would have died were it not for him.

Trump found time to whine about impeachment, because of course:

This press conference is going on forever, but that’s ok for Trump, because he says he has nothing else to do.

Nothing else to do.

This is the president of the United States saying he has nothing else to do in the midst of a global pandemic.

****

Peace, y’all
