Another Trump presser today, there were more of the same lies especially about the availability of COVID vaccines. Trump furthermore went full disinformation about mask use. CNN’s Dana Bash referred to Trump’s account as “propaganda”. http://www.pscp.tv/… x In opening statement, Pres Trump calls on @joebiden to “stop promoting his anti-vaccine theories.” Though no vaccines have yet…

another Trump presser/campaign speech, claims he's got 11 witnesses to his not disrespecting troops
Trump’s doing more law and order bafflegab among other idiocy, as Trump is whining about not getting credit for stuff. We’ll see whether he takes questions (and flees when the questions get too tough). He’s scared, especially if you compare his presser to Biden’s earlier today, replete with complete sentences. x The president is doing another…
White House presser: Trump defends 17 year old Kenosha killer
The summary of today's Trump presser: Trump defended Kyle Rittenhouse x Trump actually offers a defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, his right-wing supporter who killed two protesters. “I guess he was in very big trouble, he probably would've been killed.” pic.twitter.com/XFBtDOHP8y— Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica) August 31, 2020 x To be clear, Rittenhouse was trying to…
Saturday Trump presser: lots of petards on the path to the bunker, will someone be hoist by them
Trump: “If stupid people aren’t elected, next year, we’re going to have one of the greatest years that we’ve ever had.” Trump will likely flee at the first suggestion that he’s lying again. Bigger/bigly question is whether CNN, MSNBC, or CSpan will cover it live. Live blog below. Date: August 15, 2020 at 1:11:13 PM…
what, another Trump Presser? LiveBlog
“To Joe, I would say stop playing politics with the virus. Too serious. Partisan politics has no place here,” the president says while delivering an attack on his election opponent from the White House briefing room. Expect a brag on the Israel UAE agreement, a dodge on sabotaging the postal service, and workshopping on attacking Biden-Harris….
yet another Trump presser – more chicken-in-every-pot promises
Q: What do you mean by an “invasion” in the suburbs if VP Joe Biden is elected? President Trump: “They're going to destroy suburbia. And 30 percent of the people in suburbia are minorities. They say 35 percent, but I like to cut it lower. This one’s importance is in opposition to the Biden-Harris joint…
Another Trump Presser: without a case of the claque, Trump still wants to kill social security
Started at 547pm ET Apparently like the Germans and Pearl Harbor, for Trump, the second World War ended in 1917. x YouTube Video Trump starts with more disinformation using a Virginia example Trump pimps stock market — usual blah-blah…. (550pm) whoa, something happened and Trump abruptly leaves after a secret service agent came to podium. Looks like…
another idiotic Trump presser at the 19th hole: more lies in advance of killing social security
Another stunt to keep Trump in the news on a Saturday, because he’s losing. Yesterday’s presser at his golf club was such a joke, this one shouldn’t even be covered, since it’s really coordinated with a Trump fundraiser. Wimp of Wall Street. No, Democrats aren’t cheating in the election by negotiating a relief bill No,…
Trump Presser: live from 19th tee at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster (play 'Hail to the Chief')
There’s a presser from the Trump golf club, because optics matter: “Congress needs to stay in Washington and work this out. Now watch this tee shot.” Undoubtedly pimpage of executive orders as a GOP stunt to criticize the Congressional impasse and circumvent legislation. CNN is covering it, as is MSNBC and CSpan. Apparently by audience reaction,…
Another Trump Presser: more raw animal magnetism and 157,690 deaths
Live Blog below: Trump to hold press conference today at 5:30 in briefing room Apparently they’ve given up trying to announce it for 5pm. Will Trump show up on time? Will there be medical professionals there, or generals to affirm yesterday’s “attack” in Beirut? Trump on Obama's speech at John Lewis's funeral: "I thought it…
Trump Presser: aside from all the American deaths, there have been fewer American deaths
Today’s takeaway from another presser that this time was an hour late: Trump thinks the massive fertilizer explosion in Beirut was an attack, Trump gathered new data to try to divert attention from the current economic recession. And for some reason the state of Florida has superior mail-in voting ability than other states. Goofy Gaslight…
Trump Presser – more of the same – another sideshow with few questions
Presser started at 536pm ET. It ended at 613pm. Trump needed another faux-campaign speech opportunity today — he should be trying to clarify his criticism of Birx — perhaps there’ll be some faux-Kumbaya. The new tone will keep the press questions to a minimum. Perhaps Trump will double-down even further on the hydroxycholorquine hype. x x YouTube…
Trump Presser – 100,000 deaths signified a “good job” by him, Trump owns them
Live Blog Below (not really a doozy) Trump’s incompetence and negligence if not already a sign of Trump’s unfitness for office can be measured on charts. We’re now at “tremendous progress”. Trump knows he will lose if people can vote. Republicans know they can’t control the House or Senate if people can vote. https://t.co/6sjHh0gnp2 —…
LiveBlog COVID presser: “Testing is overrated” because Trump still thinks tests cause cases
Live Blog below … looks like Trump will be late, sliding into the old habit, so much for that “new tone”. x Trump says he made this decision even though lots of people “desperately” wanted to be there, given that the pageantry and such were really top of the line.— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) July 23, 2020…
Trump COVID19 presser: “ready, willing, and able to go in with great force” without health experts
Led with Pfizer vaccine trial progress and exaggerated its availability. More than a few lies spewed. Trump implies that the wall is keeping the virus out, spins that protests are spreading the #TrumpVirus. Goes blah-blah on a variety of cherry-picked data. Went bleak and dire about cities, even though they aren’t. Went for 30 minutes with…
“Worse before it gets better” Trump does another presser, can't control his ad libs
Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced that Trump's aides finally got…
COVID presser: Trump pimps for free television coverage with the same shtick starting Tuesday
So the return of the daily presser can be blamed on Lindsey Graham. The pretense will be the coronovirus. Deja vu all over again. However, since Trump might not appear with administration supporters, it more likely will take the same format as previous. The old format was Trump reading some prepared remarks, then veering from them, attacking Joe Biden…
Trump's Rose Garden presser turns into campaign speech with more lies and few questions
Today’s Trump WH presser apparently repurposed his canceled NH campaign speech of 50 minutes, and took 10 minutes of questions. Waste not, want not. Who wants that hour back: Trump produced more gibberish and barely mentioned the COVID19 pandemic, and spent most of his time attacking Biden. Even Daniel Dale, CNN’s fact-checker, got flummoxed by so…
White House forced reporters to defy social distancing at presser because it 'looked better'
Someone should tell Donald Trump that a tighter chair configuration isn’t going to make up for that tumescent beluga whale bladder on the top of his shoulders. (Before you chastise me in the comments — no, I don’t know actually how big a beluga whale’s bladder is. I’m just riffing here. I can only assume it’s…
