Trump warns U.S. coronavirus outbreak will probably ‘get worse before it gets better’

[Tsuyu]

President Donald Trump warned Tuesday the coronavirus pandemic in the United States will probably "get worse before it gets better."

"That's something I don't like saying about things, but that's the way it is, it's what we have," he said during a White House briefing on the pandemic. "You look over the world, it's all over the world."

Ok cool let's see that stimulus package and extension of ui benefits cause people are going to be real pissed in 2 weeks. Me included.

That's deep. His wisdom has no boundries.

 

[WellbornWarrior]

If even Trump says it's bad now then it must be really bad.

 

[Weebos]

Wow, quite the backpedal, I'm a little worried about whatever stats he was shown.

 

[Surfinn]

His backpedaling has been something

Instead of enforcing science backed mitigations, let's just accept that some people will die and others will have potentially life long health issues.

I should sell a bridge to the buffoons who voted for this bigger buffoon.

He's been repeating this strange "it's all over the world" line. Did they just tell him?

 

[sangreal]

So basically the same thing they've been dragging Fauci through the mud for admitting

[Imperfected]

My god, he's becoming sentient.

 

[Wyman Manderly]

What an alarmist

 

[Musubi]

He's scared he sees his polling slipping further and further and I think finally realizes he has to engage with this if for nothing else to make himself look good.

Trump on COVID (reading from notes): "It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better." Minutes later (w/o notes): "The virus will disappear. It will disappear."

Asked if he is responsible if the virus doesn't "disappear," as he has said it would, Trump says: "I think we're all responsible. I view it as a team."

[Fat4all]

didn't he say "it's gonna go away by itself" like right after that?

 

[Veliladon]

I bet someone told him that COVID-19 was killing more people that voted for him than Democratic.

It's a way to reflect and claim we aren't an outlier in just how horrible we've handled the pandemic response. Trying to make himself not look as bad by claiming the rest of the world is doing just as bad as we are.

Yes.

All thanks to Trump and his administration.

But he said it would just up and vanish like a miracle. You remember how Easter was super normal right. Right. *coughs*

 

[ryan13ts]

And whose fault is that? (Not that you'll EVER here him admit it)

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Thing that has been getting worse for months is about to keep getting worse, until it's not. Real smart man here, bet he could ace a cognitive test.

 

[Gyro Zeppeli]

You fucking cretins. Pass $2000/mo until the pandemic ends.

 

[Sordid Plebeian]

But when will it disappear?

 

[DarthWalden]

If trump is saying this yknow its going to get real bad

From the same article:

"We're doing a tremendous amount of testing," he said, adding he would be OK with doing more. "I don't think any president, any administration has accomplished so much."

Shit is getting bad if he can't see a way out of accepting at least part of the blame.

His administration probably had to beg and plead for him to appear more humble.

When he gets tired of something and would rather ignore and pretend it no longer exists he will make his staff no longer brief him on it. So chances are that yeah no one has been telling him what's happening for fear of angering him.

Well I mean, if he's referring to himself and his idiot supporters, than I think that's entirely where the blame lies. His base was somehow lead to believe that the virus was a hoax, or that wearing a mask somehow inhibited their freedom.

That's what I mean. He'd never even begin to think of himself in a collective sense if he had literally anything to crow about.

For a narcissist like him to realize he's playing a team game, there has to be absolutely nothing good happening at all.

 

[HaL64]

Was today the day he became president?

 

[Version 3.0]

The "adults in the room" have finally managed to get him to sit down and eat without throwing food, by telling him this is the only way he can win re-election.

It won't last. He was already going off script in between his prepared lines.

Until the elections are over, Obama made his supporters do/not do it.

This shit bothered me to no end several years ago, moronic commentators trying to normalize him.
