Quotes and citations needed. No selective editing, omissions, opinion pieces, Snopes, or paraphrasing please.
None of that would matter. Any quotes or citations will be mislabeled, misconstrued, and misinterpreted, possibly on purpose. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a single-minded rage that obscures rational evaluation of Trump's actions, and focuses on the negative. It forces those who suffer from it to go above and beyond the exaggerations of his comments, so far as to fabricate meaning that bolsters their bias. It is specifically a bias towards bias.
One would think that with a pandemic gripping the world, Americans could put aside partisan bickering and see that the President has done a good job. He's certainly not perfect, but who among us is?
Maybe you're right. I hope you are actually. It really sucks hearing the president say these things during day after day during the WH Press Briefings during a time like this. It's like a part of me is thinking 'wait, he's the president...this can't be real'...but then it just keeps going. Sometimes I think I see him ramble on for hours of mostly nonsense.
Do you know of a cure for TDS? I want to see our president act competent.
Can you help me sort the TDS from reality on something?
I remember seeing Trump say nice things about China and how they're handling the virus before it got bad, but now I seem him saying it's all Chinas fault for ruining the perfect economy he built and he's going to send them a bill.
Which one is the TDS? Or is he even talking about China at all?
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1225728755248828416Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!
this tweet actually say:
China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!
For the last two months, things have been changing almost daily. That includes our knowledge of the actions of countries, as well as our understanding of the facts regarding Covid-19. Of course you can find contradictory statements by the same person.
Trump's style of speaking extemporaneously certainly may have sometimes confused things at least in some peoples' minds.
