    Bill gates also said today that he expects much less death than what the white house is predicting

    Cumo also thinks it may have peaked in NY.

    Anywhere to see edited versions of Trump's pressers? Some of them seem to go on for over 2 hours, when 20 mins would be easier to digest

    I'm finding them darkly hilarious and I'll take any humour I can right now

    Trevor Noah often discusses that clown on his episodes, I find them really great and often funny. It's normally the Daily Show, now called The Daily Distancing Show ;). They're posted on Facebook too.

    Yeah the same posters that are bashing UK and USA responses aren't constantly posting about Sweden and the Netherlands strategies because even though they are doing sweet FA their "good" countries particularly Sweden.
    Same way not loads of posts castigating the Spanish leadership for encouraging people to go on Feminist marches but there is for Borris Johnson shaking hands, or in UK Borris gets sh-t for that Sadiq Khan gets a pass on the even more idiotic statement that using the Tube is literally NO risk.

    Lots of countries and politicians really screwing this up but which countries who get complained about is to do with posters dislike of their politicians more than anything else

    China sending crap Ppe is a complete disgrace but you won’t hear a peep about that - that would be racist

    It's just a thinly veiled "orange man bad" thread, like the UK one is for Boris.

    It's hard for us outsiders to understand other country's poliics, but Twitter hatred makes it easy to tackle the intricate policies of Trump and Boris.

    People need to stay away from Twitter. Trumps musings all meticulously documented here:

    Don’t watch Trevor Noah if you want unbiased coverage. His show is just the left wing version of fox and friends

    quackingtoon is just another example of "hey, look over there".....

    Americas, and in particular Trumps, response to this crisis has been inept at best and criminal at worst. I just hope the american people are brave enough to face up to decisions been made on their behalf when this is all over.

    I think the criticism is a bit over done. I watched the press briefing yesterday, and when you make allowance for all the vanity, ego and past errors, I get the impression that he and the administration really do understand how difficult it is going to be to control the outbreak in the US and the impact it is going to have on the people and the economy. They are trying to communicate that the public, while at the same time, trying to be as positive and optimistic as possible to give hope.

    The presidency has really gone from dream to nightmare for him and the administration.

    The fact you have to make allowances for the vanity and ego at all, let alone at this stage says a lot and completely justifies the criticism.

    imagine the ****fit he'd be having on twitter now if Obama was president and was giving press conferences going on about ratings.

    It's a fairly simple test for his supporters. If a democrat was in power and behaving exactly like he was, would they be applauding them or absolutely laying in to them for the way they act?

    **** sake, the way he tweets is the way a child would if they got hold of a phone. The ****ing president of america calls his opponents names when he refers to them . Bloody primary school names at that.


    Hes a massive hypocrite and his tweet history spells this out for everyone to see. It's sad the way people , especially people on internet forums on the other side of the world , try to shove their tongues up his hole purely because he belongs to the party on the right (at the moment, he could up and join another party again if it suited him)

    I don’t understand the obsession people have with trump?
    It’s really weird and creepy

    It's weird isnt it? On an Irish internet forum, that people can be so entrenched in their views to defend him at all costs. Very weird and creepy indeed.

    I find it creepy that this thread is using American deaths due to a virus to attack trump
    Again very sick and creepy


    So dont blame the person in charge?Gotcha.
    Lay it at the door of a few doctors in a hospital?Ultimately its them running the country is it?
    Maybe we could pick a few scapegoats and fire them ? Maybe the captain of a navy ship or something?

    What twitter does is make it easy to see what their views are. Very easy to judge Trump on his own twitter . No need to venture beyond the mans own tweets.

    But do you believe the leaders of China Sweden the uk France Italy and Spain should be arrested for criminality?
    You must it’s weird, like very weird to care more about trump says and does then your own leader here.

    Why do the anti trump lot on here care so much about the leader of America
    Do you care about Jinping and his reckless empire building behaviour?

    I think you'll find most people do. They'd have no truck with Trump, Johnson, Jinping or any other leader who basically lies consistently to reach an objective which enriches their cronies and neglects the ordinary people. They have massive propaganda machines behind them and suck in loads of useful idiots to help their cause. Jinping doesn't even have to bother to cajole useful idiots, he just uses the boot.

    Why do you care about defending him so vehemently? Hes obviously a buffoon on top of all his other undesireable traits.
