Chris Wallace, sharply challenging Trump's It's Just Testing narrative, told him, "testing is up 37 percent...Cases are up 194 percent."

Trump: "Many of those cases are young people that would heal in a day. They have the sniffles and we put it down as a test."

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/12...955488772?s=19

Chris Wallace pressed Trump on how he wrongly claimed the virus would just disappear.

Trump: "I'll be right eventually. I will be right eventually."

https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/s...656885255?s=19

WALLACE: But can you give a, can you give a direct answer you will accept the election?

TRUMP: I have to see. Look, you – I have to see. No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.

Wow, this Chris Wallace interview is something else.

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/12...582774275?s=19

Wallace told Trump that he also took the cognitive test and it's not very hard.

Trump sharply objected: "... the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions."

https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/12...753139201?s=19

Wallace talks about how one of them was to count backwards by 3s, starting at 100, and trump reiterated how hard/you couldn't answer...

I would say that's the last FOX interview we'll see from Trump, but his damaged brain won't allow him to lay low, so expect something more unhinged between now and November.

Dude just continues to hang himself every single day. It's amazing to watch. Whether this translates to him actually losing the election is anyone's guess, but one can hope.

Lmao, quoted for truth. It’s to test someone for brain damage and is commonly used in concussion prognosis.

The ego combined with stupidity it takes to brag about passing that test is astounding. Might as well brag that you were able to dress yourself today and go boom boom in the potty.

I remember when my friend told me that the color blind test was so hard, that I’d fail it too.

My friend was color blind.

The combination of school and work disruptions, business closures, etc. and the political situation in the lead up to the election during that period of time is just going to create havoc.
As opposed to the well run machine it is now?

A lot of the same people at the Plaza today that have spent their weekends protesting to open up (during the lockdown) and generally for 'freedom'. suprised there was no 'Honk if you hate Trudeau' signs...also didn't see the 'Freeman of the Land' that have been at the demos that I have walked/rode by.


And one of the Utah commissioners is Danny Ainge's son!

I was about 10 degrees away from Coke Zero out the nose when I read the first tweet response to the Calgary protest.

More evil d-baggery from the WH. Also, it sounds like a few GOP members are finally starting to get fed up with Trump's bulls**t.

This is yet another move that makes it seem like they're trying to lose the election on purpose. Unreal.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-po...c-coronavirus/

Quote:
The Trump administration is trying to block billions of dollars for states to conduct testing and contact tracing in the upcoming coronavirus relief bill, people involved in the talks said Saturday.

The administration is also trying to block billions of dollars that GOP senators want to allocate for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and billions more for the Pentagon and State Department to address the pandemic at home and abroad, the people said.

The administration’s posture has angered some GOP senators, the officials said, and some lawmakers are trying to push back and ensure that the money stays in the bill. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal confidential deliberations, cautioned that the talks were fluid and the numbers were in flux.
Quote:
The two political parties are far apart on a number of contentious issues, such as unemployment insurance, but the conflict between Trump administration officials and Senate Republicans on money for testing and other priorities is creating a major complication even before bipartisan negotiations get under way.
Quote:
The administration is also seeking to zero out $10 billion in new funding for the CDC in the upcoming bill, while slashing spending for the Pentagon and State Department related to foreign aid, the person said.

Trump has been skeptical of State Department spending and foreign aid generally, but it was unclear why the Trump administration would seek to block money for the Pentagon for a variety of coronavirus-related expenses such as reimbursing contractors for providing paid leave to employees.
Quote:
At the same time they push cuts in testing and CDC funds, administration officials are trying to use the spending package to fund priorities that appear not directly related to the coronavirus — including a new FBI building, which has been a longtime priority for Trump, according to people involved.

I'm sure the timing just a total coincidence and has nothing to do with the upcoming potential election bloodbath.
