   Geniaal optreden Trump waarin hij het test-staafje demonstreert, vrijwel gelijk aan een standaard wattenstaafje, alleen circa 5 cm langer.
   "sophisticated, very sophisticated actually"
   
   En dan sommigen beweren dat de man zonder humor is.........
   

   Ik ben een van die "sommigen" :-)

   Wat is er nou leuk, laat staan "geniaal", aan om "very sophisticated" te roepen met een (wat langer) wattenstaafje in je hand?
   
   Ik vind het veel leuker dat Trump daarna de The Wall Street Journal laat zien die hij speciaal voor de gelegenheid heeft meegenomen en daaruit citeert: "Trump rewrites the book on emergency" en dan zegt: "That's what happened" en dan nog wat meer loftuitingen over hemzelf citeert.
   Zo absurd; kan zo in Monty Python :-)

   Lyndon Johnosn werd President nadat JFK werd vermoord, en verkozen boven Goldwater in 1964
   
   Hij deed veel goeds (Medicare, Civil rights), maar was ook verantwoordelijk voor de escalatie in Vietnam.
   
   De foto in het artikel is genomen terwijl hij luistert naar een tape die zijn schoonzoon hem toestuurde, over de toestand in Vietnam. Op dat moment waren er ongeveer 40,000 Amerikanen gesneuveld.
   
   seanmunger.com/2014/01/07/worth-a-tho...
   
   Johnson besloot niet op te gaan voor een tweede termijn:
   
   As the war dragged on and American and Vietnamese casualties mounted, anti-war protests rocked college campuses and cities across the U.S.
   
   Johnson’s popularity within his own party plummeted as well. When it appeared that he might face a stiff challenge for the 1968 Democratic presidential nomination, Johnson announced his decision not to run for re-election.
   
   “I shall not seek, nor will I accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president,” he said in a nationally televised speech on March 31, 1968. Johnson explained that he wanted to focus on the peace process and pressing domestic issues during his final months in office without the distraction of a political campaign.
   
   Het aantal gesneuvelden in de Covid-19 pandemic is nu boven de 40,000. Mede veroorzaakt door de akties van de zittende president.
   
   Ik heb nog geen foto gezien van deze man waarin hij enige emoite toont voor de slachtoffers. En nauwelijks enige woorden van troost voor de nabestaanden van deze ramp.
   
   en hij voert dagelijks campagne, al moet hij over de lijken stappen om bij de microfoon te komen.

   was Trump geen voorstander voor de aanleg van de olie infra in VS
   
   Halliburton Co. is cutting jobs, slashing costs by $1 billion and reducing its debt to gird itself against the dramatic drop in investment happening in the U.S. oil patch.
   
   Chief Executive Jeffrey Miller said the world’s second-largest oil-field services company is consolidating facilities and removing a layer of management in its North American operations to conserve cash as oil companies have cut spending in half.

   Het is al lang bekend dat de WHO, en met name het hoofd Tedros, in het begin naar de pijpen danste, in januari februari , van Xi Ping van China.
   
   Dat wist Trump toen ook al, maar in januari februari prees Trump ook de aanpak van Xi Ping.

   Nog even Trump de China-lover in die 2 maanden aan het woord:
   Kan zo Monty Python in :-)
   Of in een ad van Biden over Trump
   
   - "I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."
   
   - “Just 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 … 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!
   
   - "Late last night, I had a very good talk with President Xi, and we talked about — mostly about the coronavirus. They're working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job. They're in touch with World — the World — World Organization. CDC also. We're working together. But World Health is working with them. CDC is working with them. I had a great conversation last night with President Xi. It's a tough situation. I think they're doing a very good job.”
   
   - "I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard."
   
   - “I spoke with President Xi, and they’re working very, very hard. And I think it’s all going to work out fine.”
   
   - “I think they've handled it professionally and I think they're extremely capable and I think President Xi is extremely capable and I hope that it's going to be resolved."
   
   - “I think President Xi is working very hard. As you know, I spoke with him recently. He’s working really hard. It’s a tough problem. I think he’s going to do — look, I’ve seen them build hospitals in a short period of time. I really believe he wants to get that done, and he wants to get it done fast. Yes, I think he’s doing it very professionally.”
   
   - "I think President Xi is working very, very hard. I spoke to him. He's working very hard. I think he's doing a very good job. It's a big problem. But President Xi loves his country. He's working very hard to solve the problem, and he will solve the problem. OK?"
   
   - “China is working very, very hard. I have spoken to President Xi, and they’re working very hard. And if you know anything about him, I think he’ll be in pretty good shape. They’re — they’ve had a rough patch, and I think right now they have it — it looks like they’re getting it under control more and more. They’re getting it more and more under control.”
   
   - “I spoke with President Xi. We had a great talk. He’s working very hard, I have to say. He’s working very, very hard. And if you can count on the reports coming out of China, that spread has gone down quite a bit. The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days. As opposed to getting larger, it’s actually gotten smaller.”
   
   - “China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down. … I think our relationship with China is very good. We just did a big trade deal. We’re starting on another trade deal with China — a very big one. And we’ve been working very closely. They’ve been talking to our people, we’ve been talking to their people, having to do with the virus.”

    Well done Republikeins governor Kemp van Georgia.
    
    Het wachten is nu op een explosie van new cases en daarbij gepaard gaande overledenen.
    
    Het was de wens van Trump om de economie weer op te starten, ongeacht dat er een explosieve uitbraak kan volgen. Dode Amerikanen tellen niet voor Trump, alleen de stand van de Dow, Nasdaq en S&P.

    Trump's press briefing 20 April
    "The governor of Maryland didn't really understand. He didn't really understand what was going on" -- Trump begins the April 20 #TrumpPressBriefing by attacking Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland, who has been critical of the federal coronavirus response.

    LOL. The governor of MD secured tests by the half-mil today from a different country.
    
    twitter.com/EricaLG/status/1252361136...
    
    Maryland’s frustrated Republican governor obtained thousands of coronavirus test kits from South Korea
    
    Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan announced that the state had obtained 5,000 test kits to detect the novel coronavirus from a laboratory in South Korea.
    The operation, which took weeks of negotiations with Korean and U.S. officials, will allow Maryland to issue 500,000 tests, Hogan said.
    Hogan, a Republican, is just one of several governors who have complained about the federal government’s inability to distribute enough coronavirus tests to accurately detect and track the outbreak. The procurement yet again demonstrates the extreme lengths states have to go through in order to obtain necessary equipment to combat the virus.
    Maryland’s First Lady, Yumi Hogan, is a Korean immigrant and played an instrumental role in obtaining the tests by negotiating with two different labs in South Korea.
    Gov. Hogan, a Republican who once reportedly weighed a primary challenge to President Trump, has not held back in criticizing the administration’s response to the crisis.
    
    www.businessinsider.nl/maryland-larry...
    
    Larry Hogan, Republiken en gouverneur van Maryland is sinds 2004 gehuwd met Yumi Kim, een Zuid-Koreaanse kunstenares.

    Larry Hogan, nota bene een republikein, raakt gefrustreerd over het feit dat Trump geen test apparatuur beschikbaar stelt
    
    Zijn Zuid Koreaanse vrouw lukt het wel via contacten test apparatuur uit Zuid Korea te krijgen. 500.000 stuks welliefst
    
    Trump gooit zo zijn reputatie te grabbel, zo die er al was.
