Written by Cody Fenwick April 21, 2020
PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor called out President Donald Trump for falsely claiming he hasnt left the White House in months at a press briefing on Monday evening.
Trump was attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has criticized the administrations slow and negligent response to the coronavirus crisis. In response, critics have pointed out that, as late as Feb. 24, Pelosi told people to go to Chinatown in an effort to mollify the growing fears of the coronavirus. While in retrospect, any advice to go out at this time was likely a mistake, the Trump administration itself was weeks away from issuing any guidance discouraging public gatherings. And, as Alcindor pointed out, Trump was holding campaign rallies throughout February and into March, which potentially could have served to spread the virus.
You held rallies in February and March, Alcindor said.
Oh, I dont know about rallies, Trump said. I really dont know about rallies. I know one thing: I havent left the White House in months, except for a brief moment to give a wonderful ship, the Comfort
You held a rally in March, in North Carolina, she said.

He's "MUSHROOM".
Which, for the species Homo Sapiens is the equivalent of "dickless".
Sorry to be a factually accurate corrector........

Lock him up.
(6,941 posts)No empathy is also never acceptable for a POTUS.
The list of never-acceptable behaviors for a POTUS is long, and he displays them all.

(28,272 posts)They've devolved into rank spectacles where trump treats the press like shit and spews non-stop lies---with a few minutes of updates about the virus thrown in. The networks need to give us the disease news in the evening, and trump needs to be restrained from these psychotic outbursts. For God's sake, enough is enough. We are in no way, shape, or form dealing with a well man. Cut his access to the media off, and get busy with an Article 25 removal from office.

(2,750 posts)This fucker lies when he doesn't need to. It's so weird!
Can you imagine how frantic he must be trying to keep up with all the bullshit he spews daily? I hope its eating him alive!
Shame on anyone still supporting this rancid POS. I SUPPOSE I can let it go if you were fooled into voting for him once. To still support this thing is unconscionable.

(11,643 posts)But I have noticed quite a few of them in the press pool responding in real time to his most outrageous falsehoods and telling him what he's saying isn't true. He mostly just powers on with the lies of course as thats been his strategy for 4 years.

(19,204 posts)He hasn't been able to pad his "earnings" at taxpayer expense, but I'm sure he's been robbing the peoples' money in many other ways. Besides, he had that $20,000 indoor golf machine installed in the White House. I'm sure he's playing with that every day! Asshole. Glad to see Alcindor is still punishing him with the truth. You go, girl!

(22,048 posts)Trump complained about the simulator that President Obama had installed in the White House basement so he bought a top-of-the-line setup. It cost in excess of $60,000! Here's the company that I thin he bought t from:

I agree with your assessment, though: He plays with it every day.
(P.S. If I had one, I'd play it all day!)
SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)you're not President of the United States, either. Between his hours long "virus updates" and his hours on the simulator, that's pretty much his entire day.
I thought I was lowballing on the price of the simulator, but I always try to err on the side of caution. $60,000 I guess when you're spending other peoples' money....
