 Last week we got a little bit of a preview of Donald Trump's general election campaign strategy and specifically how he'll be attacking Joe Biden When he retweeted an admittedly hilarious fake ad about Joe Biden where he basically makes fun of him for being in cognitive decline Now I don't think it's funny that Joe Biden is in cognitive decline I think it's sad and a little bit mean quite frankly to you know Have him run for president his family should have stepped in and told him no you're not fit to do this currently But I mean the story that Biden was telling about Harry legs. That's just that's just funny, right? So we all knew that Donald Trump would be weaponizing the story and capitalizing on this obvious disadvantage that Joe Biden has But the problem for Donald Trump is that he also has a disadvantage and you know when you prime people to think about mental fitness They're not just going to think about whether or not Joe Biden is mentally fit enough to govern but they're gonna think about you as well and Donald Trump Constantly puts his foot in his mouth and reminds us of how stupid he is as well So he may not lose his train of thought But he's a genuinely stupid person and he keeps reminding us of this over and over again And an example that we're all talking about of course is when he suggested that maybe you know injecting disinfectants into our bodies Can uh possibly cure COVID-19 Now I know that most of you have already seen this clip It's been beaten to death by the media But I haven't talked about it yet on the show and I've seen it like a bajillion times and it's still funny like I still find this Hilarious, um, so we're gonna play this clip one last time Uh, just so there's no room for obfuscation So people can't accuse me of taking him out of context that I care But this is what Donald Trump said as uh, you know possible cures for COVID-19. Take a look So supposing we hit the body With a tremendous, uh, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light And I think you said that has him in check, but you're gonna test it And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body you can which you can do either through the skin or Uh in some other way And I think you said you're gonna test that too sounds interesting Right and then I see the disinfectant Where it knocks it out in a minute one minute and is there a way we can do something like that? by injection inside or or Almost a cleaning because you see it gets on the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs So it'd be interesting to check that so that you're gonna have to use Medical doctors with but it sounds it sounds interesting to me So we'll see but the whole concept of the light the way it kills it in one minute Let's uh, let's think about how stupid you'd have to be To seriously say something like that. He's literally inquiring about If we like clean the insides of our bodies with disinfected whether or not that can you know cure us of COVID-19 if we have it How stupid do you have to be? To say something like that to have that thought cross your mind like you have to have such a low IQ That obviously you should not be anywhere near the white house But the fact that this dipshit is our president is honestly concerning Now what I love is that after we all just very clearly heard him suggest that you know, maybe we should possibly look into Injecting disinfectant into our bodies literally Right-wing propagandists right on cue rushed to defend him suggesting, you know Maybe the left were just taking him out of context or They're arguing also that well He never technically suggested that people should inject themselves with bleach rather He just said, you know, it's something that maybe we should look into But anyone who tried to defend him in right-wing media Immediately looked more silly than they usually looked because Donald Trump came out and contradicted them their defenses of him specifically by saying no, I said it It's just that, you know, I was being sarcastic Now you heard his tone. We just watched the video He was not being sarcastic. Nonetheless, that's his defense After he kind of doubles down Maybe there is something to light and the human body And helping people that are dying Okay Are you are you encouraging amer- you're not encouraging americans to No, of course. No, of course that was Interior-wise it's it said sarcastically was it was put in the form of a question to a group of Extraordinarily hostile people Namely the fake news media. Okay, so Well, of course all they had to do is see it was just you know the way it was there. So I was looking at you You know What's that you're looking at dr. Burke. I was looking at bill I was looking at the doctor. I was looking at some of the reporters Please does anyone believe that he was being sarcastic? No, he's a genuinely stupid person with a low IQ Who was inquiring about whether or not it'd be effective to inject our bodies with disinfectants I mean This is a guy who Seriously asked why we can't nuke Hurricanes this is someone who talked about big water how Puerto Rico is surrounded by big water He's a stupid person. So for anyone to rush to defend him It shows that they're nothing more than political hacks. They're just playing on a team now, you know, this story It's funny, right? I laughed at this story I genuinely Laughed when he said this because of all the of the potential mean value and it's just it's stupid But this genuinely should scare us all like once the dust settled and the laughter went away This really is unsettling. This is the person who's in charge of the country And it's not the only stupid thing that he's said or done lately Because first of all in response to the shortage of personal protective equipment healthcare workers across the country desperately need He said that that was fake news and that they're loaded up and there's no shortage. Okay That's not true. I personally know people who work in healthcare Who have told me about how there is a shortage of PPE So for him to just cry fake news like he's trying to do damage control So he doesn't look incompetent So he looks responsive and that oh we loaded up But you didn't correct this issue if you want to get credit for correcting this issue then correct the fucking issue Don't just say you did when we can verify that you didn't now Additionally he threatened to veto relief bills that contained emergency funding For the u.s. Postal service as funding for it dries up. So that's great And when it comes to his attorney general william barm Well, I think that this vanity fair headline says it all bar threatens legal action against states for keeping people under quote-unquote House arrest the attorney general praised trumps common sensical approach to reopening the economy and issued a warning to governors Who quote impinge on either civil rights or on the national commerce by refusing to let their stay at home orders So just stop and think about this for a moment His attorney general Is equating stay at home orders to house arrest We are experiencing a pandemic The way that we get through this Is with social distancing and self quarantine. Okay, that's what we do. It's not going to last forever It is frustrating admittedly but to say something like this. What is he doing? He's throwing red meat to his base He's essentially legitimizing the anti quarantine protesters One of which by the way who led the protests tested positive for covid-19 shocker So that's what you're doing and this is irresponsible And you're tacitly endorsing the idea that maybe people should go back to work We should reopen the economy and people should die for capitalism Now they wouldn't say this explicitly. They wouldn't say that that's their intention But as he put it, we shouldn't let the cure be worse than the virus itself He said that before before the smart people presumably got to him and told him that this was a terrible decision Because you can't just choose between sacrificing people's lives and the economy. That's not the way that things works Life is way more complicated than that. So you can't just save the economy by sending everyone back to work If lots of people die That hurts the economy now. We've lost more than 50 000 american citizens That is a lot of people who died under his watch and rather than trying to take responsibility and be a leader for a second He's making it worse. He's trying to encourage them To violate these types of stay-at-home orders by having his attorney general Say this is like house arrest Maybe you shouldn't listen because your civil liberties are being violated And this comes after donald trump condemned georgia for reopening some businesses like gyms and barbershops and whatnot So, you know, either trump directed him to do this When you know, he's saying something else. Maybe there's just no communication within trump's administration But this is deeply dangerous We need one unified message to come from trump's administration But as we see his response to the covet 19 This isn't even arguably The worst part about what he's doing because as we deal with a pandemic to remind you You know, a lot of us urged political officials to push for the easing of sanctions on countries like venezuela and iran But what did his administration do? They imposed new sanctions on iran in late march Which is without question going to kill thousands of iranian lives Because even though you can't necessarily dictate that medical supplies be sanctioned Indirectly, they're going to be affected. You're cutting the supply of medical supplies in an indirect manner This will hurt them. This will kill people But on top of that what he's doing now should Infuriate every single person in america. He's trying to ramp up and start a war with iran Here's what he tweeted out recently about iran quote I have instructed the united states navy to shoot down and destroy any and all iranian gunboats If they harass our ships at sea now as erin rupar pointed out He put out this tweet after fox news talked about this They claimed that at the same time iran bragged about its navy's capabilities That they also sent out these gunboats to harass us warships that were stationed in the persian gulf Here's the clip in question that likely encouraged the tweet that we saw From donald trump. Yeah, the website says it's successful this time though at the same time iran is bragging about the navy's capabilities Just last week armed iranian boats were caught on camera performing dangerous maneuvers around our warships in the persian gulf You remember let's bring in congressman michael watz from now. You saw the ships like they played the video So i guess that the dangerous maneuvers that they were committing were just Piloting their boats too close to a us warship But here's another question Why are us warships in the persian gulf? They're not trying to intimidate us. We're trying to intimidate them. Why are our warships In the persian gulf if not to intimidate them This is cry bullying 101 Where we're claiming to be the victims. They're the ones who are supposedly being aggressive When you just said that we're in the persian gulf get out. We don't have any business being there get out We don't need to be patrolling the persian gulf bring those warships home. We don't need to be there Uh, second of all another question that needs to be asked is why is the president saber rattling against any country during a global pandemic? Like i don't care What country it is? Why are you escalating tension saber rattling when your number one priority? Should be getting us through this pandemic donald trump Is not just an idiot that's the point of this story Like we can laugh at how stupid he is and maybe how dangerous this is for him to suggest that people should inject their bodies With lysol spray or chlorox or whatever But he is a dangerous idiot his idiocy crosses that line It's not just something that we can laugh at and say oh donald trump said something stupid like his stupidity as the president has consequences very very broad consequences Like during a pandemic He's trying to start a war with iran He's the president And his stupidity Is going to hurt a lot of people I like feel a greater sense of responsibility as the host of a podcast on youtube Then donald trump feels as president of the united states because people like take what you have to say seriously Like if you're a leader and an influencer of any kind they take what you say to heart Now for him to ask something like that that on its face is so stupid It shows you why He's incapable Of leading this country at any time, but this time especially he is not capable And if we get through covet 19 when we get through covet 19 It's not going to be because of what he does it'll be in spite of what he does because Throughout the course of this process. He has been unquestionably unhelpful to say the least Mike is the worst progressive on youtube. Please don't subscribe to him or become a patron David dole is so much better. Trust me folks. He's doing a great job. He really is. Okay
