Georgia

"With the assumption of relaxed social distancing, the model predicts that the number of Covid-19 deaths per day in Georgia will jump from 32 people dying on May 1 to a projected 63 people dying per day by August 4."

On Jan 21st he said "Americans Don't Need To Worry About Coronavirus" (which he repeated a few times over several more days.

On Feb 8th he said "Danger of getting coronavirus now is just minusculely low"

On Feb 29th  he tells the Today Show that there is NO NEED for the public to change their behavior over concern for Coronavirus:

On Mar 9th he recommends taking a cruise, tells Forbes Magazine that if you’re healthy, cruise ships are safe:

These are just a few of dozens and he has been pretty much consistently wrong every step of the way....including later changing up to predicting vastly higher deaths than we have seen.

Yet people keep buying into what he says......Historically he has a pretty poor record as well regarding previous outbreaks. Given all that I take some issue with Trump standing on the same stage with him over and over.....
We've already discussed this poop of misquotes or quotes taken out of context. It took me a few minutes to do the fact checks on this stuff. Greg could have done the same.

If you watch what Trump said, if you watch his body language, it's clear that he's trying to apply methods about effectively cleaning the virus off of surfaces into the environment to treating and curing the virus in the human body. It's at best a childish understanding of how medicine works, hence the smirk on Birx's face, and it's why you can see her visibly shrink and die inside while Trump is speaking.

Here in all his glory, is our Pinesol President:

Well, we won't have to argue about what Fauci said, the WH has just blocked him from testifying about their Covid19 response...

And that's why she waited until this year to talk about it. But that's the same as a paper trail of hush money checks, right?

It is beyond reprehensible that Trump supporters who have spent years denying and making excuses for his genuine sexual misconduct would presume to lecture anyone on the claims about Biden. There is a vast sea of difference between a man who has dozens of credible claims against him and what is happening with Biden. Trump was caught on hot-mic admitting he sexually assaults women just because he can get away with it; he's openly admitted to walking in on naked women at pageants just because he can get away with it. We know he's paid multiple women hush-money to stay quiet about his sexual escapades despite his denials otherwise. No one could reasonably deny that Trump has a long history of misogyny and objectifying women and treating them as sex objects to be conquered and then tossed aside like "dogs." He even made a vulgar reference about having sex with models at one of the pandemic briefings. The man is an utter male chauvinist pig when it comes to how he treats and talks about women. In the meantime, Biden has acknowledged Reade's claims, denied them, and then not only called for an open and fair investigation, but he has also aided it. As I said, it's unfathomable that any Trump supporter would presume to lecture anyone else on this story.
Reade waits all this time, because she was reportedly either afraid or because she now feels a moral duty to let the truth be known because Biden is running for president. If it's the former, then why bring up "a limited report with a congressional personnel office that did not explicitly accuse him of sexual assault or harassment." In other words, if fear was a motivating factor, why bring it up at all? Does it seem reasonable to wait until this year to announce the most significant aspect of her allegation? If she felt some sort of moral obligation to come forward now, why didn't she do so when Biden was running for vice president and was therefore only a heartbeat away from the presidency? "But Reade is suggesting that even if the report surfaces, it would not corroborate her assault allegations because she chose not to detail them at the time." Facing an interview with Fox news, "Reade also said she canceled a planned television interview with “Fox News Sunday” because of security concerns." What, somebody at Fox is out to get her, too? Fox doesn't have security? None of her stuff adds up...

If fear is one of those motivations, I don't think Reade has anything to fear. Trump folks are "very good people"...

Trump Gallup up 6 to 49 Disapproval Down 7

Meanwhile, Trump spent his "working weekend at Camp David" calling yet another female TV host a dog. He wished a murderous despot well wishes for good health. Trump re-Tweeted videos congratulating himself on his election of over three years ago now. He accused members of the FBI of treason. He quote-Tweeted Pizzagate instigators. He sent 15 Tweets about assorted crazy nonsense like Obama is running the "Russian-hoax" from behind the scenes. He said he would need a quid-pro-quo from states over sanctuary policies for them to receive any bailout money. Trump tweeted out support for people who are not following social-distancing guidelines. And lastly, he tweeted some cray-cray Book of Daniel biblical prophet nonsense. In other words, just another ordinary day for President Pinesol.
And for his final act for today, he's just revised the death toll projections, upwards again:

I DO however have a real appreciation of the irony that Biden is now desperately trying to live down his words ie "Women have a right to be believed".....which he has now had to amend with "unless they are talking about me" LOL
That's only your opinion. Bret made himself out to be a pious individual working his way through college, and that's why his name appeared as a participant in a police report on a bar brawl...
