    Has he said "nobody knows more about coronavirus than me", yet?

    Just wondered if I've missed it.



    The older I get, the better I was.

    I really don't understand why he can't get it into his thick skull that this isn't a good look when encouraging social distancing.


    That'll be because he's totally ignorant and / or thick as pigshit

    Technical question... just how thick is pigshit? I think Trump might be thicker than that.

    Maybe they're all from the same family

    I don't know but it fits nicely into his collection:

    Chickenshit - draft dodger (though we know he would take on a shooter on a spree as he told us)

    Bullshit - what comes out whenever he opens his mouth (see above)

    Pigshit - his level of intelligence

    If they're from his more loyally supportive States then they're almost certainly from the same family.

    But what happens when the most loyal supporters' relatives start dropping like flies because of Trumps lack of mitigation?

    Oh yeah, that's one big retirement home.

    Current trajectory on US deaths is 244,000. That's significant. It will make China look far more efficient at dealing with the virus.
    ...and they are.

    Trump has already preempted anyone comparing the US unfavourably with China. He said a few days ago that we wouldn't be able to trust their reported death rates.

    Oh FFS!
    That means that I agree with the Trumpster. Ah well, stopped clock....
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Sadly, there may well be some truth in that.

    No need to worry, USA. Jared Kushner is now taking control.

    It turns out his models say that the states don't actually need so many ventilators. So that's good.

    Are his models like the ones that his father-in-law is intimate with?

    This one couldn't be more perfect as promoting the government health advice.

    When asked about the models, Trump replied, "I don't get involved with models, well not that type of model." :)

    It needs to be compared against the usual death rate. People will have died of other things too.

    I'm just parking this word salad here for later digestion:
    https://mobile.twitter.com/ddale8/status/1246172791939923970

    good god.

    He's bad when he's 'live' but it's even worse when it's written down. It's possibly because I'm not distracted by shouting "t@wat" at the TV

    It's the transcripts of him 'live' that convince me he has actually got some form of progressive dementia... all too often it's apparent his brain won't retain what he's just said earlier in the sentence, which is a necessity in all (recursive) language. Put that with a very limited and repetitive vocabulary, and you have strong evidence of a not-healthy brain.

    Anyone remember Spitting Image's "The President's Brain Is Missing"? It was a rather brutal and tasteless (in retrospect) diagnosis of Reagan's Alzheimers.

    I saw a YouTube clip of him on the Letterman show in the early 90s. He came across as a boorish oaf with a few scripted unfunny gags to make him look good. But there is no way the fella you see now does not have a problem.

    I have often wondered if he has dyslexia that he has never formally recognised so reading is a slow chore to him.

    He can't bear to be seen wearing his reading glasses. Thinks it makes him look weak.

    From HIGNFY:

    'Maybe the Mexicans should put up a wall to stop all the Americans fleeing the US because of CV19'.

    One for the irony thread.

    Is this all to get the Mexicans to pay for the wall?
