Donald Trump sounds half dead during his latest disastrous press conference
Just how bad of physical and cognitive shape is Donald Trump in right now? Within the first few minutes of his coronavirus press conference today, he struggled to pronounce “coronavirus” and he appeared to be surprised to learn that Republican Senator John Boozman exists. Trump also seemed to be struggling to breathe right out of the gate, as has become his custom.
One thing that stands out as being different today is that – at least thus far – Donald Trump is largely reading from a script. He often opens these press conferences by simply babbling at random, but today he’s been sticking to whatever words his advisers decided to put in his mouth.
Perhaps that’s because Donald Trump is in such obvious bad physical and cognitive shape today, his handlers are trying to cover for him today. In any case, there’s still no excuse for this garbage to be live on the air. At one point Trump announced that people with lupus aren’t catching coronavirus, then he admitted “maybe it’s false.” He’s spreading dangerous misinformation again – and he needs to be cut off.
