@FRED FLINTSTONE Wow having a bad day are we #BYEDON2020
Trump: “So here’s the good news, I’m taking hydroxychloroquine. Yup, I’m taking it right now. I started taking it a couple of minutes ago.”
COVID-19: “So here’s the bad news, I LOVE me some hydroxychloroquine. I can’t get enough of that stuff. I put hydro on everything. In fact, I’m throwing a hydroxychloroquine party this weekend.”
@littleportrait Turn your CAPS off. It’s rude.
He’s promoting it cuz hes got stocks in the company that makes it
@Jack Boot He/She/It is too willfully ignorant to cotton on to public norms.
And judging by sentence structure, grammer and the odious overuse of emoji’s, not more than mid high school education and or emotional level.
He can’t pronounce what he is supposedly taking .
As we all know this is all part of a dark sinister scheme…. lord save us
Esper’s nose is properly orange as befits all those who stay and support the clown in charge
@Logic Purgatory Either that Russian troll is confused, or this was that rogue Microsoft twitter bot’s work.
@J B YES THAT IS A POSSIBILITY OR THERE IS NO RUSSIAN COLLUSION AND YOU HAVE OBAMAGATE OR A MICRO GRAB ON YOUR TESTICLES
@Logic Purgatory CMON WEIRDO DO IT
@FRED FLINTSTONE Do Soviet keyboards not have a capslock key?
@FRED FLINTSTONE Kudos for the micrograb bit by the way, I almost missed that, well done.
Another 4 years of a virtual mental patient who owns little of the capacity to do most of the jobs required of him? Realistically…things would only get worse.
It’s about to get way wore because of the mental disorder side effects of HCQ. See: drugs.com side effects of HCQ…
@derek ray He’s very probably not taking them. I expect he’s just saying he is.
trump makes the worst mental patients smart and sane.
He wont get another 4 years, if he does your going to see some blood thirsty people who will crave orange
Corrupt administration!
Trump has too many “acting” cabinet members. It is by design in order to avoid Article 25. This is literally Out of Putin’s playbook. Trump has had 28 different cabinet members in 3 1/2 years. As compared to Obama with 23 in 8 years.
Where’s the mistake in thinking? Obama was a president. TRUMP is a bankrupt vulture 😉
government has to many offices with to many employees overseeing to much. cut all government in half. that’ll help our budget woes.
@Brock Madigan your elected officials are.corrupt therefore you sack the career government workers that hold them in check. Good idea. You Americans are so smart know wonder your covid tolls are so awesome and show your intelligent behaviour.
I believe this like I believe if I walk in front of a car I wont get hit or killed!
@Brock Madigan Riiiight. Sabotage government, complain a bout how it doesn’t work anymore, then privatize it.
Nothing means anything anymore. The reality tv mentality has erased the caution and pragmatism that built America
There was a crooked man who led a crooked life.
He was a crooked husband with a some-what crooked wife.
He had some crooked children and son-in-law–a louse.
And they divided this great nation from their White and crooked House….
Not much to smile about these days but little gems like this make the day a bit brighter
Uh oh, don’t let the rain come down. His game has holes in it and we’ll all drown.
@Alan Harris The singer?
Love it thank you
@Rock Nouveau You win the internet today
Be ready at this rate Americans will not be able to travel anywhere until your leader sorts out a genuine method of testing
Happy talkie talk! There’s nothing happy about tRump & the repugnant RepubliKKKlans. Actually its pretty bad, sad Embarrassing & pathetic!
Everyone in the UK remembers where we were when Diana died and we also all remember where we were on 9/11… I think we will next remember where we were the day we hear of your present Presidents end… but for the opposite reason…? we love your country and feel your pain!
Thank you for the condolences.
Thank you and stay tuned we still love and respect the UK IQ45 does not speak for all of us
Thank you! Words of comfort across the globe mean a lot. The pain is intense as we watch this insane man, divide our country and spread lies so big that nobody even blinks. We will breathe a sigh of relief when he is gone, and only hope we can recover. ❤️
I remember where I was when I heard he was elected, it was total shock and disbelief.
Apparently I had more faith in the “people” than was warranted.
Thank you from a true American we the people still have our rights and we will show the do nothing Republicans just how much we dislike them the blue wave is coming November can’t get here fast enough
What his supporters heard: “Winning…” That’s it. That’s all they heard. Fast forward to the end of the year with no vaccine: Still “winning.” About as deep in thought as they go.
I bag your pardon. Never listen to promises from the rose garden…
L Sobo Thank you. I appreciate the Lynn Anderson reference.
Will there be uv light torches
and disinfectant in them ?.
Who wants to be the first guinea pig?
Sorry Rachel, there’s no time for facts when trump and his pals have an election campaign to lie all the way through until November. Grifters gotta grift, after all…
“We” are still struggling to *TEST* people. WTF Esper?
The whole WH administration is happy-talk for the sake of the orange jerk November re-election.
Sad…. America have no credibility in the world….. Lost respect too😔
Rachel maddow has no credibility
trumps bank had to put him on an allowance and prevent him from stealing his siblings finances . he’s stolen about $465 million of his own familys funds.
Trumps plan is probably to promise a vaccine by “end of year” so when he doesn’t get re-elected in November and people in December go “Hey Biden it’s the end of the year where’s the vaccine” Trump will appear and try spin like “if I was still in office we’d have a vaccine now”
Hopefully he has difficulty tweeting from prison.
