    The media moan about testing. The administration have an hour long presser on testing which shows that they are doing more testing that some of the counties the press heralded as having the holy grail in testing numbers. Leftist media proceed to ask snarky attempted gotcha questions, one even pathetically playing the race card, so he thanks them and leaves. Removing their access to pressers is what he needs to do at this stage, as they are just preventing the much needed information getting to the public by hijacking these pressers in this manner.

    About an hour, was earlier than previous ones, potentially coming to an end before he rage quit anyway. Just funny, it's the first time? I was waiting for it.

    He needs to remove access to some of those journalists. He needs to get it down to a Trump rally kind of crowd as he just looks silly trying to answer actual questions. He hasn't been doing his homework and comes across quite ignorant when it comes to facts and figures. Needs more OAN journalists to pad out the crowd :)

    Anyone know what he meant by:

    "DEATHS PER 100,000 PEOPLE -- IN GERMANY AND THE UNITED STATES ARE AT THE LOWEST RUNG OF THAT LADDER, MEANING LOW IS A POSITIVE, NOT A NEGATIVE. GERMANY AND THE UNITED STATES ARE THE TWO BEST IN DEATHS PER 100,000 PEOPLE, -- DEATHS PER 100,000 PEOPLE, WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NUMBER THERE IS. PLEASE, IN THE BACK."

    When I look at worldometers this seems wrong, maybe I am missing something? I'm not stats guy but seems wrong?

    There's a simple test I do with information like this.

    Did Don say it?

    Yes: It's wrong.

    No: It may be right.

    Ha maybe, often it's based on some fact, and he has just mangled it up with incompetence.

    Someone told him something about Germany and US , I'm sure of it :)

    "Why is that a global competition to you?" is not a serious question asked for the concern of Americans.

    The press start this nonsense by moaning about testing all the time, saying the administration doesn't care and so the only way to obliterate that nonsense is to tell the truth about testing. The media (and anti-Trumpers) are just annoyed that he's making it harder for them to peddle false narratives.

    USA: 246 deaths per million.
    Germany: 91 deaths per million.

    He's only wrong by about 270%.

    Tbf, I reckon Trump started it by saying it was all nothing and saying it would be down to zero.

    Hard to take anything he says seriously after such a massive, and deadly, cock up as that.

    Wouldn't be so bad if was able to be honest and how he got it so unbelievably wrong. I mean zero instead of 1million +?

    No deaths against 80k? Don't buy this rubbish about less than 200k is success. He said he there would be none. That he wouldn't let a boat dock coz he made his, he specifically said his, numbers look bad.

    So, sure Pete, blame the press so asking bad questions. But this one is entirely down to Trump and is ability, even for a second, to think of anyone but himself.

    That you are fighting a made up enemy instead of demanding that Trump do his job should cause you to rethink your priorities.

    If Trump was so worried about the message, why no spent his 100+ tweets at the weekend getting that message out rather than dealing with his own issues?

    Cheers, was just giving him the benefit of the doubt, starting to look like more rubbish alright. Shame.

    What a waste of everyones time. What a drain he must be on the task force.

    Well, tbf, neither Germany nor the USA are in the top ten countries in the world for deaths per capita. Wouldn't call that 'the lowest rung' myself now mind but that hardly makes the comment a lie, as others have suggested.

    Lot of positives from tonight's presser. Damn shame the public will not see much of it.

    So in other words, you accept he was lying, some people call it fake news, but other countries are worse so that's ok.

    Maybe if he stuck to the message, you know the one the MSM is working against him to stop him from getting out, instead of lying he might get his message out better.

    Yup

    They will see their president, the man who is supposed to be leading them in a time of crisis, a man who is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of US citizens storming off like a petulant child because a reporter hurt his feelings with a valid question that he did not like.

    Well, like I said, neither country are in the top ten for deaths per 100,000. So, could be simple as that.

    That coupled with the fact that both Germany and the USA are both in the top three for total tests, most likely is why he highlighted them.

    So he just basically spouted a load of shìte, yet here you are bang on cue to defend what he said.

    No matter that what he said was wrong, you will defend him anyway.

    Nope, it's there for everyone to see, the man child had a hissy fit and stormed off like a child. It's not like it's the first time he has done it either.

    You defend his behaviour, you defend his lies, there is nothing he can say/do that you will not defend.
