Comedians predict Trump’s stupidity

That Donald Trump is the stupidest person to ever lead a country is almost beyond question after he last week suggested that bleach and disinfectant could be investigated as a possible cure for the coronavirus.

The next day he unconvincingly tried to suggest that he was being sarcastic with a journalist who wasn’t even in attendance at the press briefing.

You could be forgiven for thinking that you couldn’t even write for the level of stupidity that Trump is now displaying, but you’d be wrong.

Before Trump was elected president, in March 2016, comedian Ricky Gervais sent out this tweet:

Gervais wasn’t the only one that could see the direction things were heading with Trump and the coronavirus.

Last month satirical news website The Onion wrote a piece entitled “Man Just Buying One Of Every Cleaning Product In Case Trump Announces It’s Coronavirus Cure.”

Read the story here.

In case you think that no-one in America would be stupid enough to take the President’s advice, calls to New York City’s Poison Control Centre for exposure to household chemicals more than doubled after Trump’s announcement last week.

In the 18 hours after Trump’s news conference, the centre got 30 exposure calls -- nine specifically about Lysol, 10 about bleach and 11 about other household cleaners.

In the same window last year, there were 13 cases -- two specifically about bleach and none of them about Lysol-related products.

Is America doomed under Trump?

America is well on the way to, if it hasn't already reached the point, of losing the title of "Leader of the Free World". He has alienated America's allies and made friends with dubious characters, e.g. Putin who has gained from Trump's antics.

The sad part is that, in general, his followers in the U.S. fit the description of "one can never underestimate the intelligence of some people". 

One does have to wonder what Mar a Lago golf club in Florida does for a Village Idiot when Trump is in Washington.

Donald based his claim that bleach could be a cure for coronavirus based on empirical observation. In all fifty states in the US, no toilet seat has contracted the infection.

So sick of the unbalanced biased reporting of Trump.  No problems with negative articles as long as it is balanced with the positive achievements of which there have been many.

 

Agree RayL

Most of this is media mayhem .. distorting what Trump has to say.

I saw the interview and what he said was positive... 

Everyone ignores the fact that he was just being SARCASTIC. He did it on purpose for the media because he is so tired of poor quality media coverage. It works for him all the time and does prove his point.

The man has vision!

lysol

He wasn't being "sarcastic". It doesn't even fit the definition.

Watch as he he speaking about possibly injecting of disinfectant - he is looking towards the doctor and speaking to her. There was absolutely no sarcasm in his voice. He was serious.

Then he lied about it. Don't try to defend him.

So, the US is collapsing. Is that any wonder? Rampant capitalism where the rich get richer at the expense of the average guy. Increasingly appalling numbers of homeless their long held assertion of world superiority and countless examples of meddling in the affairs of other countries. So, the big question…who should be president? Old “Dopey Joe Biden, Cackling Clinton (We came, we saw, he died…cackle, cackle), Trump the clown??? It’s sad to see. I have good friends in the US having lived there for 5 years. We saw this coming and returned to Australia in 2017.

America's population is over 600 million. This is what happens when you allow too much immigration. It destroys the country's economy and quality of life. Please take not Australia.

Thinker, if you are referring to the population of continent of America you have grossly understated the population. However if you are referring to the population of the USA I suggest it is more like 325 Million.

Clearly Thinker is talking about the USA, so not really thinking.

 

  After thinking his Afterlife Season 1 was different and rather interesting, was very disappointed in Season 2, unnecessary gutter language and themes spoilt it for me, gone right off the man.

 

The Biden alternative to Trump is unthinkable. Prior to the virus, Trump was retrieving the USA from its position as an empire in decline.  The western world must have a thriving, powerful America if we are to thwart the global take-over ambitions of communist China. I feel the occasional error by any leader at this testing time will be excused by any population that fully understands the immense pressure on the shoulders of the few.  Trump firmly showed the way for all western countries by suspending all American monetary grants to the WHO, one of several questionable subsidiaries of the grab-all, one-world-government-promoting UN. I'm sorry our government didn't have the guts to take exactly the same measure.

 

Dear Brissiegirl, the Biden alternative to Trump is very thinkable. I suspect many Republican voters in the USA are just as alarmed as Democrat voters at Trump's antics. The problem with Trump is he does not make occaisional errors, he compounds error on error. Dismissing Covid-19 as just like the flu, not getting his country prepared for an epidemic, promoting the use of questionable medicines as a treatment for Covid-19 then publicly suggesting injections of disinfectant as a possible treatment. Canvasing possible treatments or cures is okay, but he should do it in private with the professionals so publicly he can give the American people valid information not irresponsible thought bubbles. I think Mr Trump is doing more for Mr Biden's election campaign than almost any one else.

 

Brissiegirl, if, as is likely, the US will fall below it's current World Bully status, we will have a much more peaceful world and a happier Australia.

Should the Chinese become a major problem then we will have other allies as well, so not so dependant on the USA to do it all.

Australia should build a Defensive defence force, not an adjunct to the US Offence force, which not only eats up huge percentages of our International Trade Balance, but does not stimulate our own economy at all.

The US says frog and we jump, but rarely to our benefit or even anyone's except the corrupt US, the fortress for the Multi-Billionaires that are destroying our world environment simply because they can't control their own greed.

The less we have to do with the nowhere near a democracy US, the more our own democracy can heal and become what we all want.

Brissiegirl, just which part of the tariff war made America great?

Thinker try thinking before you post,USA population 328 million not 600 million,you sound as daft as Trump.

I keep repeating... Darwinism defined ;)

Even Trump's most loyal supporter is trying to get his head around the bleach vaccine, LOL

Do not believe everything you hear and read. These people are just fooling each other. May the best fool wins. Politics is the worst ever created by whoever that creature was. First they target the poor but a good source of mine countries. Then created commotion within and when they get what they need they let that country gets poorer which they have made most of South America due to drugs and corruption. Theycannot really cdorrupt the whole Asia so they are now turning on each other. This is the reason why WW3 is not impossible but very scary. It started now with virus and I think we should be looking for more virus to come which is their silent way of killing each other and so are we. So be very very much AWARE of pandemic problems to come.

Fortunalely  Dumb Donny is Americas problem, they were stupid enough to vote for him so let's see if they are smart enough to ditch him.

If not they will have the President they deserve.  Who are we to judge, our record of leaders is not the best.  At least we get rid of the duds before they do too much damage, Donny is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths because of his serial stupidity.

ex-PS, I recollet that the American people voted overwhelmingly for Ms Clinton, by about 3 million votes. However their non-democratic election process is run by the political parties, a sure hotbed for corruption (no independant electoral commission like we have) so it is unlikely to change in the short term and Mr T may have a second term, but not because he is the choice of the American people.

Eddy, considering the extremely low voter participation in U.S elections, I would think it quite possible that a concerted effort by voters would see his removal.  You can only manipulate voting numbers so far.

Political apathy has its price, Although I sometimes wonder at the benefit of compulsary voting, I see what is happening in the U.S and think maybe it is the way to go.

 

For all of you who have the same trouble as me - having my message come up twice when I submit/post it here's what you do: After posting and the two copies come up on the second (lower) copy click on the word "remove" and press ENTER. You are then left with one copy - simple!
