It's one cheap lie after another dude, what are you talking about? And he looks awful, demoralized, guilty, desperate, sad.
He's a logical fallacy machine, too.....I just can't believe he continues to seem to get away with them. Yesterday he said something like "there are lots of people who think masks don't work"....then was ask to name one (his waiter). But he does this ALL THE TIME: argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition must be true because many or most people believe it, often concisely encapsulated as: "If many believe so, it is so".
He also said this:
"If there's not a race problem at least not with me" or something like that...... Another logical fallacy. I'm not quite sure of the name for it. Something like "if one, then all".......so if Trump doesn't have a race problem himself, the entire nation/population doesn't. Maybe someone can help me with this one - there's a formal name for this fallacy.
Or maybe it doesn't compute to him that it's his job to fix our race issues as our leader/president. Not different than any CEO of a corporation, General Officer in the military. Our society has made race relations a priority that needs to be fixed.
I watched the question below, and I thought Trump could have done better by teaching on what makes the economy work, and why there is income inequality.
The whole premise from the question and Stephanop was focus on the gap... but there's still a gap.
Well why is there a gap? What responsibility do black folk have in closing the gap? Do we just sit around waiting for the gap to close by itself?
If I am working for a white-owned company, I am making an income but the owner will make more. That doesn't close the gap. To me, the gap closes as more black owned businesses come into existence. And then I would had made mention of how the riots are hurting minority businesses - which increases income inequality.
The other thing is that if the gap closes, blacks may be doing better - but does that means whites are doing worse? I want everyone doing better.
Very well said. Totally agree. Time to take some responsibility and stop acting like an oppressed victim. Its simply not true.
Maybe is 10,000 under the age of 70 with no co-morbilities. Thats how I read it.
Hmmm. I think I see your point. Then to Grumpy Ol Man: a thought experiment: if an individual had comorbidities, in a US in which COVID had been effectively controlled by a thoughtful response, would that individual not have a much better chance of still being alive today? Without COVID would the comorbidity have killed them?
I had to laugh when he said "herd mentality". His maga fans are his "herd mentality". All I could think of was Jim Jones and KoolAid. Especially after hearing Trump say to Woodward you drank the Kool Aid. Ha!
His maga fans are his "herd mentality". All I could think of was obama and how his supporters with "herd mentality" and the media fawning all over him, never asking a tough question, etc.
And then when obama being called "the Messiahs", NEVER a word of complaint from ANY dem and certainly NOT the left media!
Maybe is 10,000 under the age of 70 with no co-morbilities. Thats how I read it.
I read it the same way. The CDC said only 10,000 died of Covid-19 ALONE...no co-morbidities, and they also said the average person who died had 2.6 co-morbidities. So, they were likely obease, had high blood pressure and heart desease, or were diabetic. Those were the most common co-morbidities.
A bad strain of the flu may have taken quite a few of these people out imho.
Covid-19 was grossly overplayed by the gov't, and the media....it became a political weapon.
I don't know if he's killing "it", but `194,000 plus say, "he's killing us!"
Of course you would blame a worldwide pandemic on Trump.
