“On line three, we have Donny from Queens...”

[Doctor Phibes]

So why did he say he was being sarcastic?

He obviously wasn't being sarcastic at the presser -- I assume he was just pissed off at the trolling reporter and lashed out intemperately.

[Doctor Phibes]

His real problem is that he's not a good off-script communicator, but he thinks he's a great off-script communicator.

[Mik]

He can be, but just as often misses the mark widely.

[Doctor Phibes]

He's particularly bad at this type of communication, where you need to stick to facts, and be both concise and accurate. He's good at rallies and stuff, but that's not we need.

Sadly, he just has no conception of when to STFU.

@Doctor-Phibes Yes

38% rise in bleach poisoning predates Trump’s suggestion

in January and February of this year, the number of cases of bleach exposure were roughly similar to the same months in 2019—about 3,000 per month. However, in March, this spiked to 5,068 cases, with the graph showing the numbers grew steadily during the middle of that month, several weeks before Trump's press conference. Although April saw an even higher total number—5,739 cases, compared to 3,242 in April 2019—the graph shows the peak in bleach exposure actually occurred at the beginning of that month. Comparing the same date range (January 1 to May 10) for both years, the NPDS found a 38-percent increase in bleach exposure in 2020.

Thus proving my contention that no matter how stupid something is, there's someone, somewhere, who will do it.

Actually he's quite good at that. He just doesn't suffer fools very well.

No, I disagree. He's far too prone to go off topic and get distracted.

I see you've never watched him speak at one of his rallies.

Giving updates regarding the medical situation during a national crisis does not require the same skill-set as addressing a big hall filled with supporters.

How do they figure in Hillary, months ago?
Is it 30,000 instances of bleach each counting one, or is it just one count of using bleach 30,000 times?
It's important how data is compiled, of course.

That first video video is actually well done.

It's beyond well done. It's brilliant. By removing all the OrangeMan tics, etc, and assuming a reasonable posture, it makes it even funnier. I loved the "injection" part.
