Trump admits Covid death toll will be higher, compares self to Abraham Lincoln

He’s no Lincoln. If he keeps treating COVID-19 so lackadaisically he might be the next William Henry Harrison, though.

Mr President, you should not compare yourself to Lincoln. You are the worst president (or just to be clear, chancellor, monarch, premier, ruler, sovereign, potentate, empress, emperor, prince, king, overlord, tsar, autocrat, prime minister, shah, sultan, kaiser, khan, rajah, chieftain, mikado, supreme ruler, dictator, maharajah, sheikh) in history.

Trump has been using the “I’m such a victim” complaint for years now.

What I don’t get is people are still accepting that argument.

The impeachment had insane documentation that no-one would read.

But the pandemic, well that’s every single day people watching it in realtime and the words coming out of his mouth as daily lies proven the next week if not the next day.

The 15 cases now are 70,000 deaths and at 3% growth will be 80,000 next Monday.

It’s insanity. He’s not a victim, he made hundreds of thousands of victims.

Your last line reminds me of a video in which I could imagine Trump in Londo’s place very easily.

We are a strong nation and our ancient civilisation is superior to all others. We have absolute confidence that our values are right, so any criticism from a foreigner is intolerable and hurts our feelings, because foreigners are always plotting to weaken us, not that they’ll ever succeed, obviously.

We are innocent. As a nation of victims, we can never be the aggressor. We didn’t start the war. We merely launched a preemptive strike against our historic enemies, who we knew were going to attack us sooner or later. We want to live in peace, but our despicable enemies regrettably make it necessary for us to kill them.

So Trump is saying he should be shot in the head by an annoyed reactionary?
I’m OK with that.

The punditocracy decided that Trump had become “presidential” when he dropped his first bomb, so yeah.

Better yet, quit smoking. If you’ve had pneumonia 3 times, it’s really time to kick the addiction. COVID-19 hits smokers harder than non-smokers.

Except Bogart – even at 5’8" – had much larger hands. Oh… and his Queeg character wasn’t a traitor. :slightly_smiling_face:

Mocking would be nice. Very nice, in fact. Also, clawing back his ill-gotten gains and throwing his ass into jail would add spiciness to my post-Trump life and would be very, very, very, nice, indeed. :slightly_smiling_face:

When I feel especially down about Trump, I think back to when I visited my mom a few years back and presented her with a naked Trump doll. For that visit, some of my female cousins showed up. (I’ve got a ton of them.) My cousins — and in particular, my mom —cracked up big-time. “Look at his little wee-weeeeee!” The thought always puts a smile back on my face… like right now! :grin:

Trump comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln is insane and offputting. Though to be honest, at this point I would be indignant if I saw him comparing himself to Buchanan, Harding or Nixon, too.

The first season has the worst episodes, but also some of the most “hey!” moments once you are familiar with how the rest of the show played out.

I’m looking forward to the President Donald J. Trump Memorial Library. I believe there are a few convenience store magazine racks that only need a few licks of gold paint to fill that role perfectly.

Deaths? Some of the wingnut bleach-drinkers think that the hospitals are empty, and the medical personal are crisis actors. I have no idea how they balance that with Trump on TV talking about deaths. A bad case of QAnon will do that.

And I believe he does believe that. But he also believes bleach or strong light beamed into a persons cells will destroy the coronavirus. And he believes he doesn’t need to protect his eyes when looking at a solar eclipse.

Honestly, he believes in a lot of stupid things, and this is one more.

That said, assuming there’s a country left after he goes, it would either be the most well-guarded memorial, or the most vandalized.

So, he’s like the anti-Lincoln. Or Bizarro Lincoln. Hang on. It kinda holds water. He’s putting kids in cages. Creating barriers, physically and politically. Trying to stir up the Confederate adjacent. Telling lies with every breath. Calls truth lies, and lies truth.

I wonder if the bizarro angle will continue and he’ll end up getting shot in the nuts while visiting a strip club behind his wife’s back?

Holy crap, somewhere out there in the bizarro universe, Trump is the greatest President ever. Except they don’t appreciate him at all.
