The “stable genius” can wish all he wants.
He can’t have it both ways.
He told states to fend for themselves first. He said it’s not the fed govt’s job to mitigate medical supplies to states.
Comparing SARS CoV-2 to the flu , yet again, illustrates his idiocy and only those just as stupid shall continue to think it is comparable.

Meanwhile, the states shall do as they see is right for their constituents. Some rural areas like in Kansas may never be affected, whilst densely populated areas like NYC are heavily affected.

He’s more concerned about corporations making money than protecting healthcare workers on the frontlines.

He’s the Harry Lime of this pandemic .

Haha yeah, that's not going to happen, that's not how these kind of things work.. I've already told my kids that we won't be doing Easter the same way we normally do it. It'll just be the people who are already living in this house. We've already explained to my one daughter that we likely won't be able to do anything for her birthday this year either, but as soon as we can, we will.

I’m still struggling with how “would love to be over by Easter” means the same as “will be over by Easter.”

Honestly I am sure just about everyone would love this whole thing to be over by Easter. Doesn’t mean it will be. Hell most people would love for it to be over now. Again, doesn’t mean it is or will be.
In describing why he said Easter Sunday, he said “you'll have packed churches all over our country”. What about that sounds like some hypothetical wish and not what he actually thinks will be happening a mere 19 days from now?
IF it was over like he WOULD LOVE it to be then full churches would happen.

I just love how everything single thing he says is taken literally while everything single thing democrats say doesn’t really mean what it says. SMH

Is “you will have packed churches all over our country” not plain English? “Will“ isn’t hypothetical. He’s now said it’ll only be done if “it’s good” and that he’s not sure it’ll be the exact date, but that he picked Easter because “I just thought it was a beautiful time, a beautiful timeline” and the timeline he thinks “is right”, despite the fact that no public health officials seem to agree.

I just love how Trump supporters will twist themselves into mental pretzels to try to explain the ridiculous things Donald “Best Words” Trump actually meant because he’s unable to communicate like a normal adult in a professional setting.

I fully believe if Trump said “water is falling from the sky” while it was raining that people would argue that those are raindrops not water and he’s an idiot for calling it water.

When Trump speaks, he's not speaking to the American people. He's speaking to his base. His base, largely rural people unaffected directly by the virus, can easily agree with every thing he claims about the cure being worse than the disease. I have a feeling if the base had to put their money where their mouths are there would be a different story.

Look at where the cases are: New York 25,665, New Jersey 3,675, Washington 2,328, California 2,102, Michigan 1,791, Illinois 1,535, Florida 1,461, Louisiana 1,388, Massachusetts 1,159, Georgia 1,026

The great majority are democratic states. My kids schools have parents who have been diagnosed with the virus, some seriously ill. The first child has died from the virus. Big talk from people safely behind the glass.

Cool. Similarly, it’s obvious that if Trump said “jellybeans are falling from the sky”, his supporters would insist he meant rain because some jellybeans are blue and shaped sort of like raindrops. Then they’d whine about him being taken literally and how unfair the media are for reporting on what a strange thing it was to say.

Im in the 5th most affected state and run a business with people from all over the state, especially those fleeing the hardest hit areas and bringing the virus with them. I'm showing symptoms. Know what you're saying before spouting off.

I fully believe if Trump said he saw pink elephants flying through the sky his supporters would say they also saw them.
