Somebody shut this idiot up

[jon-nyc]

Him bragging about the ratings of the epidemic updates is the presidential equivalent of saying 'this stripper really likes me'.

[89th]

It is still hard to fathom we have a president who brags about ratings during a pandemic. He has done so many things that would have otherwise been for any other president the political news story of the year.

[Horace]

Those sorts of brags show his worst side.

[xenon]

Guys, he’s number one in ratings and forgoing all the ad revenue. He’s practically a saint.

@89th
Kinda like the crazy uncle that says, "yeah but, you always invite me back to Thanksgiving!"

[xenon]

@Rainman I wouldn’t trust him to cook the turkey though...

[Axtremus]

@xenon How about trusting him with the nuclear launch codes?

[Rainman]

@Axtremus
Ax, please, at least be original.

[Copper]

Those things practically launch themselves.

His job is more to abort the launch than to initiate it.

Either way I’m sure he would make us all proud.

[mark]

Speak for yourself. Nothing this asshole has done will ever make me proud. Just the opposite actually.

Yes. I do understand people who support him, but this stuff is just dreadfully mistimed. Doesn't he have somebody to stop him saying this kind of thing? He seems to be totally oblivious of the message it carries.

That’s really the thread title.

I wonder how much right wing media even covers stuff like this, or is it too cringe inducing even for them.

[Jolly]

It's cringy. OTOH, the Alzheimer's patient running against him is still trying to figure out what day it is.

[jon-nyc]

Trump has his share of altzheimers moments. I think people ignore it because they assume it’s substantive, not cognitive.

[mark]

An Alzheimer's patient would be an improvement over what we have now.

[Copper]

Ms. Clinton would have suicided anyone who mentioned covid on her watch.

We're lucky to have him.

Yeah, it's been a real honour.

Mark,

Go fuck yourself.

Gee, now I feel better.

You think Biden could do a rally and not fall over himself within the first five minutes?

Me, neither.

The only question I have, is who the Dems draft to replace Biden?

@Jolly TDS much? I have never insulted you, let alone over politics

Real nice.
