    Oh hey, here come's the immigration distraction.

    Caravan season coming early this election year, eh? I don't know how we ever recovered from the great '18 Midterm Invasion.
    we have more cases than any other country. shouldn't other countries be trying to keep US out?

    Q    Mr. President, on state responsibility —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Go ahead.  In the back.  You didn’t go.  Go ahead.

    Q    Mr. President, thank you very much.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Who are you with?

    Q    I’m with the Salt Lake Tribune.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Okay.  Good.

    Q    Thank you, sir.  On Thursday, the White House announced a congressional task force for reopening America.  It included every Republican senator but Mitt Romney.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Yeah.

    Q    Does that show that you’re still holding a grudge against Mitt Romney?

    THE PRESIDENT:  Yeah, it does.  Yeah.  No, I’m not a fan of Mitt Romney at all.  No, I had 52 Republican senators.

    Q    He was a governor.  You don’t want his advice?

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, I just don’t think — you know, I’m not a fan of Mitt Romney.  I don’t really want his advice.

    Go ahead, please.

    Q    Mr. President, why on that task force did you include Senator Kelly Loeffler?  There’s some questions about whether she may have —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, because she’s the senator from a great state, a state that I love: Georgia.

    Q    But there’s some insider trading issues with her.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, I — that, I don’t know.  I really don’t know about that.  But she’s a senator from Georgia, and she was included in the list, absolutely.

    Go ahead.  A couple of more.  Go ahead, please.  Yeah.

    Q    Have you thought any more about pardoning Paul Manafort or Roger Stone so they’re not exposed to coronavirus in jail?

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, I’ll just tell you this: Roger Stone was treated very unfairly.  Paul Manafort — the black book turned out to be a fraud.  We learned that out during the various last number of weeks and months.  They had a black book that came out of Ukraine.  It turned out to be a fraud.  It turned out to be a fraud.  They convicted a man; it turned out to be a fraud.

    General Flynn was a highly respected person, and it turned out to be a scam on him.  The FBI said he didn’t lie.  And Mueller’s people wanted him to go to jail.  Okay?

    Q    So why not issue a pardon?

    THE PRESIDENT:  So what am I going to do?  You’ll find out what I’m going do.  I’m not going to say what I’m going to do.

    But I will tell you, the whole thing turned out to be a scam, and it turned out to be a disgrace to our country, and it was a takedown of a duly elected president.

    And these people suffered greatly.  General Flynn — I mean, what they did to him.  And even the FBI said — and they had some — and nobody a bigger fan of the FBI than me, at the level of the people that really matter.  But the top of the FBI was scum.

    And what they did to General Flynn — and you know it, and everybody knows it — was a disgrace.  He was in the service for over 30 years.  He ends up being a general and respected.  Respected.  And almost his first day in office, they come in with papers; they want to investigate him.  It never happened before.  And now the tables are turned.  Investigate the investigators, I guess.

    These were crooked people.  These are bad people.  These are very dangerous people.  You know what they are though?  They’re scum.  They’re human scum.

    All right.  Do you want to have one?  In the back, please.

    Q    A question on that —

    Q    On President Xi —

    Q    Mr. President —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Go ahead.

    Q    On President Xi, you now talk about the missteps that China made early on in this crisis and how it put you — put the United States behind the curve.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Well, based on an investigation.  We’re going to find out, yeah.  Sure.

    Q    So when you repeatedly praised Xi in January and February —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Oh, this guy doesn’t stop.

    Q    — you said he will “solve the problem.”  You said he was doing a “great job.”  Were you duped by President Xi?

    THE PRESIDENT:  No, no, no, no.  I made a deal that’s phenomenal for the United States.  No, you know who was duped?  You —

    Q    This is after the deal.

    THE PRESIDENT:  You and the Obama administration were duped for years because China was ripping off this country.  Like in the history of any country, nobody has been ripped off like the United States by China — and many other countries.  And we stop it.  And we’ve done —

    Q    (Inaudible) why you praised him at the time?

    THE PRESIDENT:  And we’ve done — we’ve done a deal where they’re paying us 250 — they are buying 250 — they didn’t do anything for us.  You know, we didn’t even have a deal.  It was so bad —

    Q    This is after the deal.  These comments are after the deal.

    THE PRESIDENT:  No, no.  No, no.  It’s — it is about a deal, because the deal started a long time ago, before anybody heard about this.  The deal was finished a number of months ago.  Very happy — I was very happy.  I hope they were happy.

    Billions of dollars came in, in tariffs.  Billions of dollars.  They’re going to be purchasing billions.  And then, all of a sudden, long after that, I find out about this.

    And I told you —

    Q    Right.  But why, on February 23rd —

    THE PRESIDENT:  I told you I’m not —

    Q    — did you say, “I think he’s doing a very good job —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Listen.  Listen, CNN.

    Q    — it’s a big problem, but” —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Listen, CNN.  I told you I’m not happy about it.  And this was after the deal.  So we have this wonderful deal.  And I was very — nobody has been tougher before the deal ever, on China, than Trump.  Then I made a deal.  I was very happy with the deal.  It’s a great deal.  Great for our farmers.  The farmers have been paid a fortune already.  Then what happened —

    Q    Was it a mistake to take his word for it?

    THE PRESIDENT:  Then what happened — no mistake.  We made a great deal.

    Now I find out after the deal — after the deal, not — after the deal —

    Q    Right.  I’m talking about February 23rd.

    THE PRESIDENT:  I find out that I’m not happy — you people are so pathetic at CNN.  Let me just tell you —

    Q    I have the quote here from February 23rd.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Sure.  I was very happy with the deal, very happy with everything.  Then we find out about the plague, right?  The plague.  And since we found out about that, I’m not happy.

    But I closed it up long before Pelosi —

    Q    Right.  This is after the —

    THE PRESIDENT:  Listen.  Long before Pelosi.  You know, she was having parties in San Francisco.  “Let’s all go to Chinatown.”  And that was a long time after the first —

    Q    This was after the travel restriction, sir.  This was on February 23rd.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Go ahead, please.

    Q    The first — the first of the month is next week —

    THE PRESIDENT:  That’s why your ratings are so bad, because you’re pathetic.

    Go ahead.  Let’s go.

    Q    I’m reading you your quote, sir.

    THE PRESIDENT:  Your ratings are terrible.  You got to get back to real news.

    Go ahead.

    Owning the libs is all that matters to the modern right.  They stand FOR nothing, they only stand AGAINST anything connected to the left.

    The most amazing thing that could happen would be for hipsters and (what they think are millennials, but actually aren't) LGBTQ advocate youth to start talking about fiscal responsibility, small government, and gun rights.  Their heads would spin so violently it would cause tornaders!

    Imagine making 18 bucks an hour, scraping together a few hundred dollars to donate to the Trump campaign, learning that some of that money pays his sons’ significant others, and being OK with it.  To steal a phrase from another poster here...suckers.

    I don’t know about you but I’m still waiting for a repub health care plan to replace Obamacare. It’s only been 10 years. And only 5 years since Team Trump Treason promised a better, more beautiful, less expensive plan than Obamacare. Both sides are the same, suckers.

    Wonder how all those folks out of work with no employer based health plan are faring? Particularly if they have a health issue that’s not covid-19 related?

    “Get sick and die,” is the repub health care plan, I guess, because I sure as hell haven’t seen them put forth any meaningful legislation to address the issue of Americans without health insurance. Someone should ask Team Trump Treason at his next covid-19 propaganda rally when we can expect something from his administration or the repubs. Quote his multiple declarations of “something bigger, better, more beautiful and cheaper than Obamacare.” That’d be a very nasty question.

    Of all the loathsome Trumpisms, his obsession with "ratings" is the one I find most insufferable. He probably really thinks that people are more entertained by him than Monday Night Football or the Bachelor. In reality, people tune into these press conferences because they're led to believe that they're going to get important information....considering it's the "president" talking about a national/global crisis. Now THAT'S fake news.

    It makes for a very compelling case and makes a lot of sense, particularly when taken in the context of what is known about Team Trump Treason and his ties to dirty Russians and how the repub establishment didn’t go after him during the campaign, particularly the Bush campaign. Are you going to tell me that Bush, McCain and some of the other candidates didn’t know the dirt going back decades? The Bush family and their connections had no clue? Yea, right. It also explains why so many establishment repubs have stepped away, resigned and gone into hiding, I’m looking at you Paul Ryan, Cryin’ John Boehner and the others. They know they’ve sold their souls. The comparison to Whitey Bulger and how you can’t say Team Trump Treason is “your” guy makes sense as well.

    wikkileaks, if you’re listening, release the Team Trump Treason CI file.

    I wonder what kind of response I’d get if I wrote to my congressional delegation asking them to let me know if a CI file exists on Team Trump Treason or if I filed a FOIA request?

    Fruit from the poisonous tree indeed. Helsinki makes that apparent. Very apparent.

    Plain and simple, these fill his rallies void. After his presidency is over, guaranteed he finds a way to keep having rallies. He is Commodus. If only there was a Maximus.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    This is all just beyond belief... The President of the United States of America is a complete and utter lunatic.

     I only hope we can survive this assault and rape of our country..  

    Meanwhile, on the Left - Pelosi's "Democrats" are doing exactly what insurance companies want by expanding COBRA... HAHAHAHA There's Leadership! No one can afford COBRA and the benefits are usually 60% of the normal insurance.. It's a JOKE!
