#JAILTOTHECHIEF- Shit Just Got Real

[Dakota Tebaldi]

That's fine with me. I'm not aware of a single day among his daily press briefings where information that was actually vital or even useful to the public at large was given. It's been nothing but self-congratulatory and self-defensive chest-beating.

The longer his press briefings go on, the more material Biden has for campaign ads, and the lower his approval rating goes. I say let them continue, but the reputable networks (i.e. not Fox) don't have to carry them live. They can make snide comments afterwards.

I wonder what sort of effect this episode is going to have on Trump's supporters.

He's always been able to deflect things before by saying he's been quoted out of context or was only joking or something, but here he is, in the middle of a huge public health crisis, completely and embarrassingly out of his depth, while happily burbling on like a complete imbecile about the possible medical benefits of injecting yourself with bleach.

That's difficult to spin, and his performance the following day, trying to tell reporters it was a sarcastic reply to a reporter who wasn't even there, when the video shows him addressing not the journalists but his own medical advisors about his brilliant new idea simply made a bad situation worse.

I think he's going to find that one hard to live down, and surely it has to dent their confidence in his infallibility, particularly, while it may be one thing to laugh while he upsets the opposition by speaking and acting outrageously, it's quite another to realise he actually means half of it, and he's really not the kind of man you want to have torely on in such an unprecedented crisis.

Well speaking from recent personal experience...it does not matter to trump supporters. And if you point it out you get labeled as a troll lol. All the magats I have current experience with are fervent supporters and feel he is doing an awesome job. So please get out and vote if you disagree.

 

[Maggy Hazelnut]

Honestly Nyte's right. There's nothing that Trump can say or do that'll make his supporters think less of him or not vote for him. Nothing! They simply deny it and/or ignore it.

I can hear it already: "Hey, at least he's coming up with positive ideas. What are you/the librulls/Biden/Obama/Hillary/CNN/Fauci doing?"

Debacle of Trump's coronavirus disinfectant comments could be tipping point

The US president plans to ‘pare back’ his daily coronavirus briefings after falsely claiming his suggestion to inject cleaning products had been ‘sarcastic’

www.theguardian.com

Given how both the "just joking" fans and the "it was a reasonable question" tribe seem to be blowing it off, it's not going to tip anyone who's still skeptical.

 

[Kara Spengler]

Well, they did say they would look into it ...

I like how various media is just out and out calling him out on his attempt to take back his statement. No wishy washyness, just saying the second thing was a false claim.

I have not watched them in ages once they became rally substitutes. I follow enough reporters on twitter and youtube that I would quickly know if any news came from them.

Well, if he kills them they will not be able to vote for him.

I think he's going to find that one hard to live down,

On the one hand, your positive and affirming outlook on the human capacity for reason and to take responsibility for our shared wellbeing is refreshing, and it is a small bright spot in my day. While I am grateful for your contribution to such an optimistic and refreshing point of view, there are times I wonder what are you smoking?

Medical grade lysol? Either it kills biological organisms or it does not.

How dare they show the full thing so there is no way he can say he was taken out of context to any rational person. Of course he tries anyway.

Why is he there anyway? Beyond that he actually wants a rally. Just send the experts out as that is who people want to hear from.

So, saw a really good answer to 'Is he as bad as the media portrays him', which summed up to, he's a lot worse, and gave several examples, including screwing his own family, his contracters and his employees.

It didn't include the fact he ripped off children, but then, that happened here, not up in NY....
