This president is a moron. He is a lunkhead. Someone needs to stand up and tell him to ‘shut his pie hole’. And, if he had a ‘lick of sense’ he would. But alas, he does not.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) said to correspondent Judy Woodward on PBS “NewsHour” on Tuesday April 22 that she had an “Epiphany” on Easter that told her she “must call out the truth” on the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of that Epiphany, she has been criticizing President Donald Trump.
I believe firmly, even ‘strongly’ in Trumpian verbiage, that now more than ever is the time to stand up to the ‘bully in chief’ and call him out each and every time he utters untruth and puts the American people at risk on all topics of discussion. He epitomizes the pairing of arrogance and ignorance like a bitter wine, the ‘whiner in chief’; the aggrieved child-man, looking to blame others, and publicly stating he does not feel a sense of responsibility for our response to Covid-19.
Per Speaker Pelosi: “I had sort of an epiphany, an epiphany on Easter, that said: ‘We must call out the truth on this.’ Because we cannot–It’s one thing to overlook what happened in the past and be sad about that. It’s another thing to let the misrepresentations continue. And so that’s why I am saying that he’s a poor leader,” Pelosi continued—referring to Trump.
“He ignores his own responsibility and assigns blame, instead of taking responsibility, paying attention to science, recognizing the word–the role of governance in all of this to get the job done for the American people,” Pelosi said.
“And, so,” she continued, “he’s engaged in distractions like immigration, distractions like supporting people in the street. They are all distractions away from the fact, the known fact, that he’s a total failure when it comes to testing.”
So the next day Wednesday April 23 Trump suggested exploring disinfectants as a possible treatment for coronavirus infections — an extremely dangerous proposition that medical experts warn could kill people. In an article for NBC, Jane Timm of MSNBC writes.
After a Homeland Security official mentioned in that April 23 briefing, the ability of disinfectants like bleach to kill the coronavirus on surfaces. Trump then remarked on the effectiveness…
“And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?” Trump said during his daily briefing at the White House. “Because, you see, it gets on the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it’d be interesting to check that. So that you’re going to have to use medical doctors, but it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.”
And, oh by the way, disinfectants like bleach are poisonous and dangerous when mishandled, doctors say. The maker of Lysol also issued a statement warning against any internal use of the cleaning product after Trump’s comments.
“This notion of injecting or ingesting any type of cleansing product into the body is irresponsible, and it’s dangerous,” said Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist and global health policy expert who is an NBC News and MSNBC contributor. “It’s a common method that people utilize when they want to kill themselves.”
“Any amount of bleach or isopropyl alcohol or any kind of common household cleaner is inappropriate for ingestion even in small amounts. Small amounts are deadly,” Gupta said.
Even Trump’s Food and Drug Administration specifically warned against drinking the chemicals in disinfectants — a fake science that has been peddled as a cure for autism and HIV infection for decades — noting that consumption of such products “can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.”
Furthermore, Gupta added that it was “demoralizing” for a doctor to hear the White House “peddle improper health messaging” and said the president had a pattern of pushing unproven medical treatments.
As you may recall, the president spent weeks advocating using the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine after anecdotal evidence suggested that it might help patients fight COVID-19, the disease associated with the coronavirus. On Tuesday April 22, a study of coronavirus patients in a Veterans Affairs hospital reported more deaths among those treated with hydroxychloroquine than among those treated with standard care. HELLO!
The danger as Gupta points out “It’s exceptionally dangerous. There are people who hang on to every word of the president.”
“Maybe you can. Maybe you can’t. I’m not a doctor. I’m, like, a person who has a good you-know-what,” Trump said, pointing to his head.
He is a clear and present danger. It’s not only his thin understanding of science and medicine; it’s his pomposity in blurting out his thoughts and ideas that are ‘half-baked’ and idiotic. He doesn’t know what he is talking about, although he would disagree, and he says so out loud. He apparently has little if any capacity to sensor himself or to control his impulses. He thinks he is a ‘Stable genius’. He is not a genius. He is a knucklehead.
He will dismiss reporters and chastise them publicly if they ask him relevant questions. And what’s worse is that he has surrounded himself with enablers who won’t call him out on his ignorance or behaviors. If you want to keep your job, you must not dissent, and you must praise the leader. If you want a supreme example of this, simply observe V.P. Mike Pence who has refined ‘brown-nosing’ to an art form in these briefings.
So I say, “Call him out! Call him out! Call him out!”
They say there are no stupid questions. That may be true, but there are certainly stupid places to propose stupid ideas. Trump is a “spitballer” who blurts out ideas, most of which are dumb-on-arrival, as if they were great flashes of insight and inspiration. because of course, he has a great “you-know-what.” Such an act of throwing “bleep” against the wall to see what sticks should be reserved for backroom meetings. That way we could hear from those present that Trump is an “idiot” and a “moron” without his suggestions infecting those who are incapable of logical thinking.
