Asked about his change in tone yesterday, Trump says, "I have seen that, where people actually liked it. But I didn't feel different. I've always known this is a real -- this is a pandemic." He then claims, "I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic."

"This word--pandemic-it means 'hoax', right? That's what 'pandemic' means. Hoax. Either that, or something relating to panda bears. One of those two things. So yeah, pandemic."

Their needs to be those in the DNC who are going to push this meme and do it as a warning for the sake of the country

In a sane world he would already be tarred and feathered
Instead he may get 4 more years - our final 4 years

(11,738 posts)This is the telling part of the quote from Trump. The rest is bullshit but even in his lies Trump reveals himself.
He tries to read his audience like any confidence scheme. He reacts to the reaction of the crowds. When he is at his rallies, he is usually energized and bombastic because the crowd is angry and hostile. He eats it up and reflects it back. When he has to give a "sober" speech to the public he is usually subdued, almost appearing sedated. He doesn't like doing that and it is all an act to him as shown in the "hot mic" moment recently captured.
He is a con artist, his actions and affect are typical of people who have both Narcissistic personality disorder and Antisocial personality disorder.

(43,049 posts)where two days ago you called it a hoax and now say you knew about the seriousness all along.
Maybe 'talent' is the wrong word...
