    I'm guessing the National Guard will be deployed now.

    Unreal! He’s shaking all their hands ffs.

    It’s like a retail advert.

    Well its about time someone did. If it were any other president that had declared an emergency i would be relieved. But since its him then this is terrifying.

    Drive through testing in Wal-Mart parking lots.

    Well fair play Donald


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,870 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Well everything is wonderful, and America is the most resilient , prepared and helpful nation on earth.

    It's been a tremendous experience that Americans should be proud of.

    In the US, a 'state of emergency' is just a method of making funding immediately available. Not quite as big a deal as it sounds.

    Clear and present danger.

    *in Archer voice - Danger zone!

    You hardly think he declared this emergency himself?
    He's only the puppet.

    To thine own self be true



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 586 ✭✭✭Redneck Reject71


    That is nothing new, the US was in a state of emergency the moment he got elected,heh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,600 ✭✭✭BanditLuke


    Wow. He now has permission to put the military on the streets I'm guessing?

    I don't think it really means that.

    Don't get why people always think that governments want to put military on the streets, like the stupid lockdown rumour going around Ireland today.

    I think this crisis will show how broken the US is as a society, and how the market-at-all-costs philosophy that has become dogma in most countries is a complete bag of shït.

    That said, I don’t think the fleabag philosophy of the modern left would be a great alternative either.

    When did good old-fashioned Social/Christian democracy go out of vogue?

    Why?

    That'd be quite rude, blaming the people who installed him. He'd blame CHOYNA or some random brown country.

    Fcuk Trump.

    He spent the last three weeks:

    Pretending the WHO we’re making it up
    Refused existing WHO tests so local medical companies could make a fortune.
    Stopping CDC speaking freely
    He claimed America has “hundreds of thousands of cases already and most had gotten better by sitting around or going to work”
    Said the cdc scientists admired how much science he knows and maybe he should have been a scientist rather than president.
    Openly refuted WHO advice and information saying he felt they were wrong.

    He’s a monster, much of his rhetoric is like Kim in Korea where he has to be the best scientist, best golfer, best hotelier, richest businessman, most knowledgeable “stable genius” on the planet.

    But now he has personally come into close contact with positive cases it’s suddenly a big deal.

    I can’t beleive they shot JFK and this guy hasn’t even had someone take a pot shot at him.

    Things must be bad in the golf resort business. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 826 ✭✭✭Stewball


    This press conference has been like something from a comedy sketch show.

    Before too much longer I think someone will try.

    So will he still be blocking flights from EU countries , apart obviously from the countries that have his golf courses ?
