I’m gonna watch Trump’s coronavirus Oval Office statement tonight at 9pm so you don’t have to.
Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner were key advisors for tonight’s blab fest, so expect nothing good. Here we go...

It’s 9:01pm. Trump is late. Again. Being on time is a good way to show how seriously you actually take this. We are a country without a president. Ridiculous.
He’s on. First ten seconds he sat there staring at the camera. He has looks really orange tonight. Oranger than ever. Sounds like a robot. You can see someone moving in reflection of window behind Trump. Now he attacked the European Union, blaming them for spreading coronavirus.
BREAKING: Trump says he’s banning all travel from Europe. (excluding the UK) He said this right after attacking the European Union
Now Trump is talking about washing hands. I feel like I need to take an entire shower after having to watch this. He keeps on saying his actions are unprecendented as if he deserves an award.
Trump just said we “should stop the partisanship.” You could clearly tell he didn’t believe what he was saying. That’s it. Statement over. What’s clear from this is Trump seems to be using the coronavirus to attack Europe. For Putin. Seriously. Think about it.
The one thing that sticks out is the xenophobic comment about this being a “foreign” virus. What he said was boring and disgusting.

I’m watching Trump’s press conference right now, so you don’t have to.
Press conference was supposed to start at 3pm. Trump’s late. Again. He’s holding it in the Rose Garden. Which is the most ridiculous place Trump could announce a national emergency. Dow is up 850 points. Let’s see if it drops after this. Trump still a no show. This is ridiculous.
Trump finally shows up 29 minutes late. Hey Donald, thanks for joining us. Trump looks more orange than usual. Very obvious tanning bed giggle lines. He already mispronounced the word virus. He’s now self congratulating his coronavirus success. This is going badly quickly.

I’m watching Trump’s coronavirus press conf so you don’t have to. (string)

Here we go: Trump starts by asking about his ratings from his Hannity interview last night. He keeps on blabbing about flu and trying to compare it to the coronavirus. Then he called CNN fake news. Gross.
Trump now talking statistics. So it’s as ridiculous as you think it could be. He’s basically making up numbers and trying to compare job growth to the coronavirus. Trump is wearing a campaign hat at the CDC. Now Trump saying old people are dying from it. Shrugs it off. Gross.
Trump says he’s taking no precautions to protect himself from the coronavirus. Says he’ll shake hands with everyone he wants to. Says he’ll continue to have campaign rallies. Trying to brag about filling small arenas. Says it doesn’t bother him at all rallies could spread illness

The US hit the Taliban with an air strike only hours after the call between Trump and the Taliban. I don’t think this is how peace deals work, Donald.
Don’t get me wrong, the US was defending Afghan forces after dozens of attacks by the Taliban. But this is why you don’t run around telling the world you’ve fixed all problems with a call. And this is why you don’t have wholly unqualified people acting as diplomats or presidents.
“We’ve agreed there’s no violence. We don’t want violence,” Mr. Trump said after the call. “We’ll see what happens.”

The Taliban carried out at least 76 attacks across 24 Afghan provinces since Saturday, when they finalized an agreement for a troop withdrawal by the US. Ugh.

1. Welcome to today's edition of the Daily White House Shadow Briefing. One year and one day since the last briefing and boy if there was ever a day @PressSec needed to come down to the briefing room, today would be that day. But there is a zero chance she'll do that, so this
2. this is what you get. Remember the rational for no briefings is the President is his own press secretary and he's extremely available to the press. We at shadow briefing acknowledge the President is quite accessible and that's a good thing. But @potus is not a reliable

Trump's speech on the #CoronavirusPandemic was a nationalist rant written by his fascistic advisor Stephen Miller. What is required is a globally-coordinated response to a global problem, but this is incompatible with the capitalist nation-state system. wsws.org/en/articles/20…
2. Trump took no responsibility for the inaction and disarray that has characterized his administration’s response to the crisis. Rather, he presented the botched American reaction—viewed around the globe as a disgrace—as the “best anywhere in the world.” #COVID19
3. Trump’s proposed no measures that would slow the spread of the disease. He announced no funding towards expanding hospitals or increasing available resources for testing, or even providing the most basic protective equipment for frontline medical workers. #coronavirus

This thread contains images with passages from the Mueller Report. I will add new ones as I create them.

If you want, share them on Facebook, Instagram, print on fliers or t-shirts or postcards.

I want to show America what's in that report.

#Trump starts his “major announcement” bragging about performing a swearing in ceremony in the oval office.

PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPS, JACKASS.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump: Many mothers give their young daughters birth control for the long journey to America because they know they may be raped or assaulted.

The worst part of this? There’s no way to know whether it’s the birth control or the assaults that offend them.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump is having trouble speaking. Somebody messed up his “Sudafed” dose.
