Just saw some of the footage from the latest Coronavirus news conference and Trump has gone full David Brent. It would be funny if so many people weren’t loosing their lives. What a complete narcissist.
That was an incredible press conference. Propaganda videos trying to rewrite history, all out arguments with journalists then declaring he had total control over everything like some kind of dictator.Just saw some of the footage from the latest Coronavirus news conference and Trump has gone full David Brent.

Trump is doing a great job in organising the US response to the virus.
To defend him ever so slightly, and there's no doubt he's an absolute buffoon.
I don't think he's been helped by the state government system.
Like the toriesBut I think there's probably a fair few who are also glad of it. Unfortunately when Trump throws his toys out of the pram and stops funding etc reaching the states in a hissy fit it's the state that will suffer, and then Trump and his cronies will say look at how bad they did in combating it, failing to mention said funding.
He really does think he's a dictator doesn't he. The more I see of him the less I would want a President unless it was purely a ceremonial role with no power. Giving one individual so much influence, even with the checks of the senate and the judiciary, is just asking for trouble one day.
You can't make that claim without knowing the number of "total cases", and it would appear that the US are testing far more than UK,. We will likely never know the true case fatality rate UNLESS we test the entire population for antibodies in a couple of months' time. And i'm not sure anyone can afford to do that!.Trump is doing a great job in organising the US response to the virus.
The death rate in the US is less that one third of that in the UK (.04 versus .13 of total cases).
But 95% of the US media are pro-establishment and anti-Trump and will spin everything he does, or doesn't do. in a negative light.
At the press conferences, they are like a pack of hyenas.
Trump has to be on the defensive all the time.
It got so bad in the last press conference, I just stopped watching.
Once again looking to lay the blame at someone else's door, blaming WHO and also using it as a good chance to promote his xenophobia.
It may well be that the WHO had insufficient or indeed wrong data, but that is down to the Chinese for covering up. They massively restrict access to outside bodies or show them the sanitised version. It's long been expected such a disease would come from a secretive nation like China or N Korea not providing the full scenario and hampering them from doing their work to prevent and minimise it. So what were WHO meant to do. Say we don't believe them even though we have absolutely no empirical evidence of it. The US poor response is down to the US and Trump not taking it seriously enough, just as we didn't. But one again the performing monkeys will clap their hands and agree with him because the US and Trump can never be wrong.
Defunding just makes the chance of this happening again far more likely because as I've said before they stop a lot more from happening.
I can't believe I'm defending trump again but the WHO defended the data coming out of China. They made a bit of a rod for their own back doing that.
There's a conspiracy theory in China that this virus was started deliberately by the Americans!
Never really thought these things work both ways
Why, the mortality rate there has been mirrored In the USA.I can't believe I'm defending trump again but the WHO defended the data coming out of China. They made a bit of a rod for their own back doing that.

First Clint.why to which bit Wingy, first or second?
First Clint.
I don’t agree with a lot of things Trump says,But I like the guy at least he got Americans working again.
If he’s that bad how was he elected?
Clinton must have been bad if he won.
That’s my opinion.
The trend in the decline in unemployment was started by Obama. Trump has only reaped the rewards of an ongoing effect left over from the Obama government. Indications were that Trumps trade wars were actually slowing that trend and in many areas of US industry reversing that effect. Farming industry especially.I don’t agree with a lot of things Trump says,But I like the guy at least he got Americans working again.

You guys should be criticizing China and the China-centric WHO, not the US and Donald Trump:Once again looking to lay the blame at someone else's door, blaming WHO and also using it as a good chance to promote his xenophobia.

That the US pays the largest percentage of any country to support the WHO, and since the WHO is not operating in their best interests, the US is within their rights to suspend funding until the situation can be investigated.What are you trying to prove here?
How does China not releasing data prove that?That the US pays the largest percentage of any country to support the WHO, and since the WHO is not operating in their best interests, the US is within their rights to suspend funding until the situation can be investigated.
