Tracker Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Progressive lawmakers on Friday evening denounced President Donald Trump’s intention to disregard provisions in the just-passed coronavirus relief bill that would provide crucial oversight of $500 billion in taxpayer money already poised to be a “Wall Street slush fund.” “This is unacceptable,” Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) said on Twitter Friday. Holy **** https://twitter.com/kyledcheney/status/1243664170496688129 … Kyle Cheney: JUST IN: Trump signing statement on coronavirus bill says he’ll override a provision requiring the newly created inspector general to report to Congress any time agencies refuse to give him/her requested info.

Yup, Trump loses Florida and he is done, New York, Washington, and California won't vote for him, and he has probably lost Michigan, so he attacks their Governors, except for Cuomo because even Trump is not that stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigseye Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this news, But early reviews of Trump's handling of the crisis suggest that's not necessarily the case. A new Gallup poll found Trump's approval rating has shot up to 49% – matching the best of his presidency and a 5-point boost since the outbreak started. What's more, 60% of Americans in the Gallup poll approved of Trump's response to the outbreak. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/us-election-2020/analysis-trumps-approval-rating-is-rising-amid-the-coronavirus-crisis-what-could-it-mean-for-november/ar-BB11SyyQ?ocid=spartandhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoseph Goebbels, Hermann was the fat fly-boy that liked to dress up in women's underwear. You're right about the quote though, suits Trump's motive to a Tee. "His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."

Another presser, another attack on a reporter, not surprisingly a black female. Kudos to her colleague who handed her the mike after Trump cut her off her so she could ask her remaining question. Nice show of solidarity. Here is what I would love to see. Rather than boycott, show up and DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS to Dr. Fauci. Freeze Trump out. If (when) Trump tries to cut him off and answer the question himself, just re-direct back to Fauci and ask "Do you concur, or do you have a different answer?" Get the stats on back-to-work days, supply needs, and words of comfort to the nation from him, not Trump. I'd bet dollars to donuts Trump would be more flummoxed and bothered by being ignored than Fauci would be cowed or embarrassed by contradicting Trump in public when trying to get useful info out to the general populace. Then the next day when Trump returns, undoubtedly without Fauci in tow (which we already have precedent for), before he even gets started just ask "Will Dr. Fauci be present for questions today?" and when Trump says no, or says he'll take all questions, or floats out Birx, then the reporters should stand up en masse and walk out. Maybe even a parting shot of "Will he be back tomorrow?" as they are leaving. Repeat this walk-out every day as long as Fauci is blackballed, and repeat the questioning tactic every day when he is there. Let's face it, nothing of value will be missed if they walk out on a Trump-only press conference. And his precious ratings will take a dip as well if no one is covering him.

The Unknown Poster Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The first time he cuts off a question, refuses to answer or otherwise lies/misdirects, the next reporter should ask the same question and so on. It wont take long for Trump to angrily walk out and I think thats a better visual. He;'s going to get worse, boosted by his polls. And man, is it going to be fun watching him implode when this is over and his numbers crater. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump's grandiosity compels him to believe that he can bully his way through any confrontation and he actually welcomes these. He believes that any public exposure validates his self-importance and infallibility. What the hell- its been working for him for 73 years, so why would he change that behaviour? The American media is so desperate for eyeballs that they are afraid to boycott these pressers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Getting into these spats with Trump at his conferences doesn't help. Even if the question is legit, the pre-amble is set up to rile him "You have said ABC and it is contradicted by DEF, so my question is (irrelevant by then because it is simply masking the intent which is to draw out his hypocriscy/incompetence/goal post moving/failure, etc.). He gets to play the victim which plays to his base and validates his claim that the fake news media is just out to get him. So when his cronies says the Dems want deaths to go up just to spite Trump, his base buys in. The old adage "don't argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" applies here. Unfortunately, the media, even in the guise of wanting the truth out there, still worry about ratings and costs, so they are happy to have panel discussions on the cheap rather than investigative journalism to fill their 24 hour news cycle. And Trump pressers are the new "if it bleeds it leads" car crash. People tune in to see the latest fight and be horrified by the latest Trump "how low can I sink" moment. States are not getting resources, and the trending on Twitter is about Trump's TV ratings and how the Royals may or may not want secret service protection and how dare Americans pay for it. A freeze out would be so much more healthy for the nation, but not for the networks, Trump, or the advertisers.
