Do you trust him? Do you believe him? It seems to me that he is much more concerned about the economy and his reelection than the truth about the coronavirus. He seems to be in daily contradiction to the scientists and public health officials. What do you think?
he's using leadership by trying not to cause a panic

giving info based on his 'hunch' & then being clearly contradicted by medical professionals & scientists is not the best way to convey confidence. all he's doing is confusing people & the die hard basket dwellers are being lulled into a false sense of security when someone needs to say:

Mixed White House messaging on coronavirus sparks internal frustration

PALM BEACH, Fla. — White House officials are growing increasingly frustrated at what they see as President Donald Trump's consistent bids to downplay the severity of the coronavirus outbreak, a tendency that has led to a clash in messaging with public health officials.

Those mixed signals were on display Sunday as the top infectious disease doctor at the National Institutes of Health, Anthony Fauci, warned the elderly and medically vulnerable to avoid large crowds and long trips or cruises and Surgeon General Jerome Adams told the public to be prepared for more cases and deaths.


But the message Sunday morning from Trump on Twitter was praise for his administration's response, which he called a "perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan," and blame for the media, which he said was "doing everything possible to make us look bad."

The president also told reporters Saturday night that he wouldn't be postponing his political rallies, which can attract upward of 15,000 attendees, and wasn't concerned about the virus getting closer to the White House.

Multiple sources familiar with the discussions acknowledged that Trump is simply not on the same wavelength as the rest of his team, but they said there isn't much they can do to change his public tone. Trump has been advised by some close to him to let public health officials, rather than the politicians, take a more forward-facing role, according to a person familiar with the conversation. But a person close to the White House said Trump thinks it helps him politically to keep doing what he has been doing.

That has left aides feeling discouraged over their efforts to get out a more comprehensive message about what needs to be done to prepare the public for likely hardships and major changes to their daily lives that could be ahead, said one White House official.

The blob hasn’t been truthful at any point; ever

You would know...

Grow up and start (if you can) debating using adult vocabulary.


^ 'Grow up and start (if you can) debating using adult vocabulary.'

<ahem>

shifty schiff, little marco, little mike, cryin' chuck, nervous nancy etc etc etc

how'z about telling yer prez to start behaving like an adult first?

Rofl!

Nothing I've ever used...

YOU tell him to act like an adult -

never said you did .... but show me all the posts where you lambasted yer president for saying them; like i originally stated.

thanx in advance.:lmao:
 
Trump is trying to be as truthful as he can. If he just told the bare unvarnished truth it would be that this is a very mild illness that democrats have politicized into the plague.

It's the way they found around the right of assembly.

I don't trust him. I don't believe a word he says. We should completely undermine and ignore any advice from this administration, as they seem to be operating on an anti-science agenda. I believe you're correct that this administration cares much more about the economy than human lives. Nothing more needs to be said.

We should just undermine what the house does any law they create ignore it.
 
The Trump administration is on top of the virus. Much more so than if a Democrat was in office. It's why he declared a public health emergency back on Jan 31 and started quarantining people who flew in from certain areas. 1.1 million tests this weekend and 1 million more early next week. Private companies getting involved.

Why repeat his lies? NO - There are not 1.1 million test kits available, Not even a TENTH that many.




Exactly that was nothing but a huge lie.

The actual number of tests that the government had is 75 thousand.

Many hundreds of thousands less than they said.

They are nothing but liars. Nothing they say should be believed.

why do you want americans to die?
why are you rooting for that to happen?
do you know 18,000 americans died of the flu where we have test kits and vaccinations? how would you be able to change that fact?
 
This is not a good time to have an incompetent, narcissistic, pathological liar as the prez.
Thank God he's no longer in office
Still in there

Did you see the Dotard claiming that "anyone needing to be tested can be tested now" and that the test was "perfect - like the call transcript" ???

And his adoring flock believe it. Sad :(

How to Tell You're Dealing with a Malignant Narcissist
The intentional destruction of others while pathologically loving the self.
Posted Feb 22, 2017
[...]
Malignant Narcissism

I want to explore with you the darker side of narcissistic personality disorder, where aggression, antisocial behaviors, and suspiciousness are as prominent as their poor sense of self, fragility, and egocentricity. (Below is a video clip that explores the symptoms of malignant narcissism.)

A person with malignant narcissism has the potential to destroy families, communities, nations, and work environments. This condition reflects a hybrid or blending of narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders. Psychologist Eric Fromm termed the disorder in 1964. Psychoanalyst Otto Kernberg later delineated the symptoms of the condition and presented it as an intermediary between narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders.

Why is the behavior of malignant narcissism often considered dangerous?

Individuals with this profile can form connections with others. However, they process information in ways that can hurt society in general, but also the people who love or depend on them. Family, co-workers, employees, and others in their lives often have to walk on eggshells to appease a fragile ego and minimize the occurrence of their unstable, impulsive, or aggressive behaviors.

They lash out or humiliate others for infractions of even the most frivolous nature (for example, you gave an opinion that differed from theirs; you demonstrated confidence, and it made them look bad; you told a joke that involved poking fun at them).

For some, their grandiosity and protection of their fragile "true self" can be at such extreme levels that they will lie and give the impression that simply because they say it, that makes it reality. Many will become angered if their lies are challenged with truth or facts. Of course, this can create problems for the people close to them, as this pattern of behavior can easily veer into gaslighting.

Malignant narcissism is a blend of two disorders that pose problems interpersonally for their victims — narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders. It is not uncommon for others to feel anxious, intimidated by, and fearful of people with this condition. The combination of poor empathy coupled with aggression, hypersensitivity, and suspiciousness can bring pain to others.

Those who interact with malignant narcissists often consider them jealous, petty, thin-skinned, punitive, hateful, cunning, and angry. Given their shallowness, they are not regulated emotionally and have beliefs that swing from one extreme to the next.

Their decisions can hurt others, because they rank relationships and people based on superficial standards and categories. They want to land on top, even when pretending to be altruistic or engaging in an activity that should not be "all about them." They often view the world through a primitive binary lens (for example, winner/loser; smart/dumb; rich/poor; pretty/ugly; black/white) — all the while sustaining the belief that they are superior. This is likely associated with problems processing emotional information, which reflects faulty neurobiology.
