I think it is pretty objective to say that Trump's strength is not the spoken word, and he is borderline incoherent. This is true regardless of your political persuasion.

Watching Trump try to walk back / clarify his “hoax” comment was painful to listen to.

I just saw both the question and his answer and the only painful part about it is your trying to carry water for the Dems.

he has to do what they tell him...

I dunno about all that...it think it depends a lot on your perspective...he's been very successful and w/o a doubt talking/speaking is a large part of that success...

I hated him as the apprentice, USFL, trump towers, casino owning jetset bigshot etc...but plenty of people LOVED it...many of them are/were of leftist persuasion...most of them now despise him and can't see ANY good in any thing he does...

I was soo pissed when he decided to run...but by the time he destroyed jeb and rubio it was obvious he was for real and I expected him to have a good showing against HRC and likely come up short in the end ...but when he shrugged off the access hollywood hitjob it became obvious that he actually had a bonafide shot at an "upset"....

political persuasion has a LOT to do with whether one finds him incoherent or not...easy enough for me to comprehend...conversely I couldn't stand obama's stuttering sing song droning cadence and fell asleep nearly every time I watched him...politics likely had a lot to do with that too..

Nearly 100% agree with your Trump wrap-up. He was never my first choice. Pretty sure he had to pinch himself after the election when he realized that he had pulled off the improbable. Liked listening to Obama as he had a very southing tone.

This was THE pivotal moment in the 2016 election. Never forget who you are dealing with here:

Many lefties love poking fun at Trump with the implication that he is a moron. It's part of their snarky, self absorbed, elitist view of themselves. They are people who will always tell you that they listen/watch BBC and NPR and that makes some smart and evolved.

Well I'll tell you what. Trump is 10x smarter than these fools. When the Corona virus started to spread in China Trump immediately restricted entry in the U.S. of foreign nationals who had recently been in China. That alone most likely saved us from a more severe outbreak but much to the horror of the open borders crowd. Trump acts in the best interest of our country, not the global community, not the global bureaucrats, not the illegal immigration advocates, BUT OUR COUNTRY. That's what makes him so great.

Televising the discussion (or calling the virus a hoax) between Trump and Big Pharma was not a good look, $.02. I don't think Trump's questions were unreasonable for a laymen, but at this point in the crisis you'd think he would have at least an elementary understanding of the drug/vaccine development process. Especially considering Gilead already has a clinical trial in process of its Remdesivir medicine.

Well I'll tell you what. Trump is 10x smarter than these fools.

Maybe he is, but listening to the audio he certainly doesn't sound like the smartest man in the room.

He just plays dumb to prove how much smarter he is.

Well it's either that or you/I don't have the appropriate political persuasion to comprehend what he says.

What's True
During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu.

What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.) between Trump and Big Pharma was not a good look, $.02. I don't think Trump's questions were unreasonable for a laymen, but at this point in the crisis you'd think he would have at least an elementary understanding of the drug/vaccine development process.

considering it was televised for the benefit of the public perhaps that's the reason for the "line of questioning"

this is what cracks me up about the TDS crowd...you actually imagine that this was his first ever inquiry concerning coronavirus...

you see and hear what you want to hear...orange man bad, orange man stupid, orange man incompetent... it's as if you have no grasp of reality whatsoever...

or maybe you really are a dumbass and I give you too much credit...

You have to have to have an IQ of approximately 95 to 110 to be a modern leftist democrat. Smart enough to absorb the propaganda, but not smart enough to question it. That's why all the smart rich people are republicans and all the stupid people are republicans.

meanwhile in the real world it seems most people aren't buying the MSM panic...

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
77% trust the U.S. government to handle a coronavirus outbreak
Current trust exceeds that for prior global or U.S. disease threats
Two in three expect coronavirus to negatively affect the global economy
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- About three in four Americans say they are very (31%) or somewhat confident (46%) in the federal government's ability to handle an outbreak of the coronavirus. This is a higher level of confidence than Gallup has found for the government's handling of previous health scares.

of course there's still plenty of stupid people actively thwarting it...some @sshole at DHMC traveled to italy, came down sick on return, went to DR w symptoms then promptly ignored the DR's advise to quarantine pending test results ( which came back positive) and went to a social function at The Engine Room that night , WRJ...so thanks to that POS it's now right here in our backyard...

New Hampshire’s first coronavirus patient shrugged off his quarantine and went to an event in a different state — potentially exposing almost 200 people to the deadly illness, officials revealed.

The dimwit Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center staffer showed symptoms of the virus after returning from a trip to Italy, and was told to stay home while awaiting test results — which came back positive Monday, state health officials said.

But three days earlier, he had ignored the instructions and gone to a party over the border in Vermont, officials said.

“Despite having been directed to self-isolate, [he] attended an invitation-only private event on Friday,” the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement.

About 175 people were at the bash, organized by Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business and held at The Engine Room in White River Junction, right across the river from the New Hampshire hospital.

“It’s very disturbing to be honest,” Brandon Fox, the owner and manager of The Engine Room told The Post. “He made a really bad decision.”

Health officials from both states said they had tracked down the attendees of Friday’s event and were monitoring some of them for symptoms, though they are “considered to be at low risk for infection.”

But the patient is believed to have already infected at least one other man — also a Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center employee, officials said. The hospital said both men had no contact with patients.

An order of isolation has now been issued to the egocentric first patient under a state public health law to make sure he doesn’t break the quarantine again.

If he leaves the lockdown now, officials will be able to send police after him to keep him put.

But New Hampshire health officials didn’t respond to questions about if or how they were monitoring his self-quarantine this time around.

Meanwhile, Fox’s event space has been sanitized — twice — and health officials said events could continue.

But he said he still decided to scrap the next three planned shindigs because fears are running rampant.
