Trump Derangement Syndrome - Orange man bad. Read the OP! (ᴛʜɪs ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ ɪs ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴋɪᴡɪ ғᴀʀᴍs ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡs ɴᴏᴡ) 🗿🗿🗿🗿

Might be good for him to try his own hand at some virtual town halls. Would be interesting comparing the viewership.

I can virtually guarantee he'll pull more viewers than anything CNN will run opposite him, even with all their number-fudging.

That would be a really interesting idea. If they could get Trump to look good (and not cough his lungs off every two minutes) I'm sure he could run a good virtual town hall. The man has TV experience, after all.

 

[Humble Shitpost Merchant]

President Trump's doctors did a press conference this morning where they mentioned that he could be discharged by Monday.

God damn, what an absolute overhyped nothingburger of an event.

They tried to hype up COVID, and it amounted to a headcold.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Trump should do some streaming vlogger style, would be hilarious for him to just shoot the shit in front of a camera.

 

[The Great Citracett]

Probably will see a bit of "He only survived because he is the president. Why can't we get gibs that good?"

Already seeing it.

They've got r/TrumpVirus specifically for that particular brand of crazy, and it doesn't disappoint.

There was one the other day screeching about how sickening it is that Trump got to go to the hospital in a helicopter and how that's evil and abnormal or something. It's all just nonstop hate, death wishing, and self-righteous mask worship. If it was about anyone else, the sub would have been banned by now.

I had originally came in at 90 seconds and saw almost none of the bot negativity, but looking at the archive that finished a bit before, and the flood of asshole blue checks and lefty trolls at 5 minutes in, I think instead it's a combination -- a lot of the obvious bots that just reply immediately with talking point image macros and the like are gone, and there are a LOT of people posting their support and well-wishes for him.

 

[Someone Awful]

I'd be cautious still. If he doesn't get out on Monday, but they want to hold him over until Tuesday/Wednesday for safety, then he'll look bad and the fear-mongering doubles down. It's an expectations game now, and he's currently winning, but it isn't worth risking a loss just for a day's faster headline.

Part of me wish the doctor had not say "as early as tomorrow". I believe Trump will be out in the next few days, but Conley should have said "as late as Wednesday". Then again, we're not exactly talking PR experts seeing as he made a blunder of being misleading of Trump not being on supplemental oxygen when he was before.

Using supplemental oxygen is different to being ON oxygen, medically and technically. So he wasn't deliberately misleading, he just wasn't realizing that the media was going to be pedantic shitheads.

Which is a really rookie mistake after 4 years of this shit. You should always expect the media to be pedantic shitheads about anything Trump.

For someone in the thick of it, yes. But his doctors have hardly been so. Some naivity on the part of the staff is sadly expected.

Fair enough. If Trump ever has to go to the Walter Reed Military Medical Center again, the doctors learned a hard lesson today on how hostile and unforgiving the media is.

 

[Bad_Guys_are_Good4EVER]

Trump knows that the media is hostile towards him. Which is why there are times where I believe that Trump purposely says something that riles up the Democrats.

"How many Americans died because they were denied the care Trump gets right now?"

The answer is none. Zero. Because that's not how healthcare works in this country, especially during a pandemic.

If they had a single case of a Covid patient being turned away from a hospital and dying due to lack of care, they would have made them a national name by now, screeching endlessly about rationing and dying in the streets and such. They don't have it, because it didn't happen here. (Maybe it did in Italy or China, but we aren't allowed to compare them with Orange Man Bad.)

For all the nonsense about "flattening the curve", the one thing it did do was keep the medical system from being overwhelmed when it looked like that might happen. By the time the 2nd wave spiked up, hospitals were prepared, and they had even laid off nurses and emergency workers due to lack of patients.

Now if the left wants to bitch about all the wonderful exciting experimental drugs that Trump is getting which the public doesn't have access to, well, they shouldn't have lied about injecting bleach or people drinking fish tank cleaner. They shouldn't have screeched about every vaccine Trump said might possibly work, thus killing public interest in advancing them. And they shouldn't have tied their credibility to the WHO just because Trump criticized them, since the WHO keeps saying not to give out these drugs for general use.

Propaganda has consequences, bitches.

Actions having consequences is white supremacy, you bigot!

"Twelve more years!"

 

[Adamska]

God damn, what an absolute overhyped nothingburger of an event.

It does highlight how antibody presence is skewing the numbers up. Especially since a decent chunk doctors are invested to making this look as bad as possible.

Amusing that the "he faking it" narrative is gaining traction. I guess trying to sow panic doesn't work when the President makes a point to downplay your shitty fear mongering.

 

[BubbleButt]

"Twelve more years!"

No, but... you don't understand! Trump made a GIF...

A GIF!

While your command of Disney's take on history is impressive, I'll point out that your rent is probably still less than the taxes the lesser royalty had to pay to the king, your shady apartment probably has AC and heat and is likely nearby to a free clinic that even if they'll only give you a shot of antibiotics is still capable of extending your life far beyond a medieval noble's, and more is probably down the street from a supermarket full of food that you won't have to hunt and skin yourself and won't be full of parasites.

And if you're so butthurt about lacking a jester, then I'd suggest buying a full length mirror.

I'm not a jester though, I don't know how to juggle nor know the art of subtle wit along with other acrobatic feats they would do.
You're implying that somehow the common person is richer than a medieval king simply due to modern commodities instead of relative wealth adjusted for inflation. You call my perception of the medieval eral to be like that of Disney, sinply because I don't see it as some kind of dung age where everyone was miserable and living in a de saturated world where everything is muddy and unpleasant.

 

[Memento Malum]

I dont know the art of subtle wit

Fairly obvious, yeah.

Also, yes, the average person in America is WAY richer than the average medieval king. We live longer, live better, have more free time, and have FAR less to fear. Case in point: we're just getting through a pandemic. It killed 200,000 Americans (or something) out of 330 million. There was also a pandemic in the Middle Ages. It was called the Black Death, and it killed ~75 million people in Western Europe out of a population of much much less than 330 million.

Life is better in the modern age.

It's sort of an interesting litmus test for how people view the world, I think. Not a hard and fast one, but on being told that you're richer due to a better quality of life, more freedom, greater access to what are effectively modern miracles, your wealth going further, less effort required on your part to survive, people seem to have one of two reactions:

1. Yup, modern life is awesome, wouldn't trade it for a king's castle in 1020.
2. Yeah but there are still a bunch of people richer than me so it doesn't matter how much progress we've made I'm still a peasant.

For some people it's not enough that even those technically living below the poverty line have better lives than even royalty in ages gone past, can expect to live longer, survive catastrophic events better, and certainly have access to more fonts of learning and entertainment than any of those people could have dreamed. That speaks of an ingrained jealousy, a fact that they can only measure success or prosperity by judging whether others are higher or lower than themselves.

Living your life comparing your success against the success of others is one of the most depressing, poisonous things you can do. I'm not even kidding, if you catch yourself doing this, you should absolutely challenge those thoughts when possible. You should always validate yourself by the measure of your own accomplishments and what you have, rather than sourly eyeballing them against someone else. There's no way you can be happy or successful when you measure happiness and success by whether or not you're the happiest, most successful person you know of.
