Mainecat Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Trump says he wanted coronavirus testing slowed in grievance-filled speech to unfilled arena Source: MSN President Trump, after boasting about enthusiasm and promising a full house, spoke in an arena in Tulsa on Saturday night with many seats unfilled amid the coronavirus pandemic. Most of his supporters in the 19,000-seat BOK Center were not wearing masks, hours after his campaign had announced that six members of the advance team staffing the event had tested positive for the virus. In a speech lasting nearly two hours — filled with grievances, falsehoods and misleading claims — Trump said that because more testing means higher numbers of known coronavirus cases, his direction was to curtail it. “So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down,’” he said. A White House official said later the president was “obviously kidding,” but he has previously expressed skepticism about testing, which public health experts say is required to contain the outbreak. * Trump also downplayed the severity of the virus, fixating on the number of names used for it — and offering one, “Kung Flu,” that is widely viewed as racist. * There was no massive overflow audience greeting Trump; the area outside the arena had emptied out by early evening, and plans for Trump to address the audience outside were quickly scrapped. The campaign blamed protesters, but there were only scattered efforts to block entrances, which were resolved by police.

Edmo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It’s like the butt hurt olympics on this board this morning. I don’t think there’s a stadium big enough to hold all this grief. Yeesh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I loved the way Trump was throwing out this red meat for the liberals to sink their teeth into....

So your expert lifer politician couldn’t figure out how to win the electoral vote? Maybe she should have actually visited Michigan instead of sending Cher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
