First, he apologized for the temperature in the Rose Garden. Then, after touting vaccines which do not as yet exist, and going against the advice of Doctors Fauci & Birx, he urged states to reopen. Verging on incoherence (as usual), he praised the truck drivers demonstrating to support him (they were actually demonstrating against their high-risk jobs with low pay), and touted wage growth and market growth that isn’t happening. He praised himself for rebuilding the military (yet another lie). You can watch the train wreck here. Great ports of entry. The best ports of entry.
From The Guardian:
Esmir Milavić, an editor at Bosnia’s N1 TV channel, told viewers this week: “The White House is in utter dysfunction and doesn’t speak with one voice.”
Milavić said: “The vice-president is wearing a mask, while the president doesn’t; some staffers wear them, some don’t. Everybody acts as they please. As time passes, White House begins to look more and more like the Balkans.”
After Trump’s disinfectant comments, Beppe Severgnini, a columnist for Italy’s Corriere della Sera, said in a TV interview: “Trying to get into Donald Trump’s head is more difficult than finding a vaccine for coronavirus. First he decided on a lockdown and then he encouraged protests against the lockdown that he promoted. It’s like a Mel Brooks film.”
Except for the fact that a Mel Brooks film might make one laugh.
