Masks help stop the spread if you wear one after you already HAVE the virus. This is how they always have worked; people in surgery aren’t wearing masks to keep stuff from the patient infecting them, they are wearing them to keep the surgical staff from giving the patient anything. If they are worried about infections…

Trump is Steve Carell from Bruce Almighty. Actually you know what, his character’s nonsensical noises and phrases made more sense.

Only if Georgia goes Blue in November.

Atlantis? No, no... we said Atlanta would pay for it...

Considering Mexico has 12 confirmed cases and US has over 1,200, maybe Mexico might want that wall after all AND they might be willing to pay for it...

Trump’s ability to make any bad situation worse is truly astounding.

So we are banning flights from europe to protect the US from coronavirus? BUT the UK is exempt from the travel ban and we will all be all safe and stuff? Who comes up with this crap? All you have to do is route yourself to London, then EasyJet or whatever to your final destination. And I’m not that good at coming up…

Just wait until early next week when he announces plans for the Trump TransAtlantic wall (which Atlantis will pay for).

Ron Burgundy reads the teleprompter too well whereas Trump gets bored half-way through a paragraph and just makes the rest of it up.

The reality is that many Americans who believe they’ve contracted the new coronavirus still can’t get tested.

The number of “Acting” heads of Departments that we have in this country is criminally gross. 

If my insurer is willing to fight tooth and nail over the $9000 I pay for a years worth of medication and therapy for my son, you know these bastards aren't going to let the cost of a weeks long stay at the hospital go without a fight.

I got a chuckle out of one part at least... Earlier, Trump said he was going to shut down the border between US/Mexico to prevent the infection from coming through the border... As of 3/12, Mexico only has 12 reported cases of COVID-19 (according to https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda75…

I cannot overstate how this has up-ended things on my side of the Atlantic. There is so much confusion about the travel ban. It seems to be the Schengen Area (which is why us in Ireland and the UK are exempt), but there’s no clear reason why.

Acting Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security, Ken Cuccinelli, corrected the president on Twitter after the speech

The operative part of that is “does Trump think”. I submit that the answer to that is a loud NO. He only reacts, there’s no coherency or logic in play. What more do you expect from a Twit?

Oh for the days when we had a president who could fucking read the teleprompter and think at the same time, and not like Ron Burgundy.

Everyone who voted for this idiot needs to slink off in shame and never vote again. You clearly cannot be trusted with any important decision ever.

Brit here. I was all fired up and ready to call you out for BS...but then I realised it was a joke and I lolled ;)

There’s really a very simple reason for this, and it requires no tin foil chapeau: Dolt 45's ego is more important that people’s lives. Even the lives of those who love him (literally) to death. The dude has such contempt for his own followers, he doesn’t give a shit about putting them in danger if it means he can…
