and that they don't have to worry about the cost. We are... We are inspired by the spirit of corporate America. Grocers committed to the President a month ago that no grocery stores in the United States would close. The food offering is strong. We are putting food on the table of all Americans. -I think it's one of the best answers I've ever heard because Mike could talk for five minutes and not even touch on your question. I said, that's what you call a great professional. -Professional liar. "That's what you call a great professional liar." And it's true, man.

"Mr. President, what are you going to do to stop the asteroid?" "I can assure you that we are doing everything in our power to make sure Americans can still buy essential foods like Doritos and... and Pop-Tarts." "Uh, what does that have to do with the asteroid, Mr. President?" "Pop-Tarts are the quintessential American food. First introduced in the 1960s by..." Also think about how sociopathic you have to be to brag about not having answered a question about whether Americans can get attention. medical during a pandemic.

I know, I'm no psychologist, but if someone boards my subway car wearing a newsboy cap and a dirty teddy bear, I don't think, "Oh, great. Another businessman is headed to Wall Street." Trump is like a public defender sitting next to his client during a murder interrogation and saying, "Do you realize that you haven't confessed yet? I mean, and this guy, this guy here, he loves to brag, he's a real psycho. Hey, tell him how you secretly write your name in your victim's diary. So, you couldn't even stop talking about it before. offers millions of Americans basic health insurance during a deadly pandemic, what is Trump offering?

Well, like a true huckster, he is selling them an unproven drug that is still in clinical trials, and telling people that it is. try it though it could have dangerous side effects before it's approved by real medical professionals. -And I hope they use hydroxychloroquine, and they can also do it with Z-Pak, subject to your doctor's approval and all that, but I hope they use it. , because I'll tell you what. What do you have to lose? There is a possibility, a possibility. And I say it. What do you have to lose? I'll say it again. What do you have to lose?

Take it. I really think they should accept it. But it's your choice. And it is the choice of your doctor or the doctors at the hospital. But hydroxychloroquine. Try it. If you would like to. -Jesus. We've been calling Trump a scam salesman for years, and now he's literally standing at a podium trying to sell us a miracle cure. "They call it hydroxychloroquine! And let me tell you, folks, it's a real all-purpose miracle cure. Hey, you, sir! You

So, there you have it, friends. There you have it. What do you have to lose?" By the way, you know Trump and his friends have a stockpile of hydroxychloroquine because it's a six-syllable word and he didn't trip over it once. Of course, it makes sense that a lifelong con man like Trump would push for another miracle cure. I mean, this is the same guy who sold people fraudulent vitamin supplements based on a urine test, not made up, but real. Anyway, how could vitamins be tailored based on someone's urine? Sniffing it? "It smells like you're... eating too much asparagus.

Here. Try some meatballs. They're just little meatballs." Now, obviously, it would be excellent news if a genuine antiviral drug proved successful in clinical trials, and we all hope that happens as soon as possible. But it's dangerous to go on TV and tell people to just try a drug before it's proven safe and effective. And yet Trump is doing it anyway because he has already failed to provide other life-saving equipment, like ventilators. At this very moment, states are fighting each other in a wicked bidding war with a complete lack of federal leadership, and the point man in charge of the ventilator disaster is Trump staffer Tom Wambsgans.

Jared Kushner, everyone's favorite 9-year-old Botox kid. You know, the real-life Jack Skellington? The guy who's always lurking in the background of every White House photo like a stalker who suddenly appears in the mirror when you close the medicine cabinet? The only guy in the world who scares Stephen Miller? "Jared! Don't scare me like that, Jared! Don't crawl on a vine." In recent days, Trump has openly admitted that New York may not have enough ventilators to save lives and called the federal government only a backup... while Kushner insisted that the national stockpile does not belong to the states. -Governor Cuomo said that New York may be days away from running out of ventilators.

Can he assure New York that, starting next week, they will have the ventilators they will need? -No. They should have had more fans at that time. They should have had more fans. We happen to think it is well supplied with fans. We are going to find out. And we are backup. Remember, we are a backup. -And the notion of the federal reserve was that it was supposed to be our reserve. It is not supposed to be the states' reserves that they then use. -Oh that makes sense. It's like my doorman told me: the front door belongs to the building.

It's not for apartment people. So if you really want to go to work, go down the fire escape. Seriously, is it YOUR reservation? Are you writing your name on them like you leave your lunch in the office refrigerator? "Guys, come on! Who ate half my burrito? It had my name on it. And who crossed out 'Kush' and wrote 'douche'? Guys, 'Kush' and 'douche' don't even rhyme. I know it's almost a rhyme, Janet. I thought you were better than an almost rhyme, okay? They're not yours. The crying weasel thinks everything belongs to him because he was born into a rich family like his father-in-law. called Kushn-ilator appear on Craigslist What we are seeing now is a weak government hollowed out by billionaires and corporations and run by a lifelong conman who defends federal leadership and leaves states and brave healthcare workers to his own devices. luck.

One lesson we are all learning from this is that, generally speaking, it is better not to allow yourself to be governed by sociopaths.
