Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

You might have your own cognitive decline checked out trigged, your brain is on a little loop, repetitive doctored memes and sloganeering is your limit.

You’re a fan boy for not only Trump but also the Kushner’s. A wonderful conservative you are.

I hear from someone who watched it, that Trump actually read the speech he was given, and didn't go into any dementia rants, and sounded good.

I was shocked; almost enough to go watch, except, I've so much given up on him for anything except entertainment value.

What did you guys think? Did he finally sound presidential?

If he can keep from dementia rants, can he sound good?

He can't change who he is.

You certainly are not. At least I'm not voting for an old geezer with dementia.

You need to be more specific about who you're not voting for.

I was wondering that, too. I thought for a moment he had "turned".

Pay your loans Trump.

Note 2: The real news (what everybody should be focusing on) is in the steady decline in the growth rate for reported cases. Everything is a lagging indicator in this but the case numbers are a less lagging indicator than the death numbers. The pattern for the US looks a great deal like that seen elsewhere. Look for the percentage growth in deaths to start to drop within a week and possibly within the next few days.

Note 3: Growth rate of reported cases, growth rate of deaths, fatality rate - these are the only three numbers to watch if you want to understand what is going on. Right now, reported cases is telling the story (which the "news" will pick up on eventually). And the story is good news right now.

P,

While I'm very pleased to see your numbers and hoping your conclusions are correct. I am a bit concerned that the test results are not really arriving in a timely manner and therefore the drop in case numbers isn't accurate. Hope i'm wrong about that.

So you think you can make accurate predictions on partial data? Dr Birx is considerably more humble than you are. But we know that already.

It's also very state dependent. Lots of the US total is currently driven by New York, so if that state tapers off and some other states ramp up, we'll see a mix of effects.

Dumb@ss, those cities are not international hubs. Do you know that this virus originally came from overseas? Why don't you shut-up and stop embarrassing yourself? For all of our sakes.

Isn't Miami an international hub? So too is Atlanta. Why are they not having all this crap happening them?

You are so very stupid. Have you ever been to NYC? To Atlanta? Those cities are so different. You need a car to get around anywhere around Atlanta, thus already having social distancing. Do you know how many people ride the subway in NYC and even come in from out of the city every day packed together in trains? Also, they walk everywhere in that city, elbow to elbow. Atlanta is not like that at all. You are such a stupid person, but for you to try to politicize this in any way is beyond ridiculous.

Trump is really the only political leader who has dropped the ball here, well, there is the idiot Republican Governor of Georgia who did too as 2 days ago he didn't know that the virus can be spread by people who are asymptomatic. But, those two idiot aside, Republican Governors all across the country have stepped up and done what is smart and right.

Democrats by and large happen to be on the right side of this pandemic. Most elected Republicans are too, but there are some who are stinking it up, most notably Trump of course. As far as he's come since calling it a hoax and minimizing it as best he could, he's still not 100% where he should be. Because he's an idiot as are his followers.

Interesting data down to the county level on movement trends from Google.

Interesting to look at some of the data in countries discussed here: Italy, Spain, France, Sweden, etc. Then look at the US or counties in US hardest hit - Westchester, Queens, Nassau, etc. counties.

It looks like it’s going to be tough for the US to get ahead of this at this rate.

You can search directly for your county and will pull the data up within that state’s report.

P seriously...the testing data is so flawed as to be meaningless. Between huge numbers of false negatives, 7 day waits for results, hundreds of thousands of tests in a backlog....

Not sure why you won't address this.

Even the death data I use is flawed...turns out France has only been counting deaths in hospital, so today they said another 885 people died in retirement homes over the past few weeks, and just added the new deaths to 4/2.

04032020

**I am adjusting French data – they put 884 deaths from over the last few weeks into 4/2 data. I’m removing those deaths from 4/2 data because my concern is trends not total counts. But it does remind us that each country has its own rules on counting things and no set of data is exact. **

A better day than we’ve seen for a while on deaths – some good numbers:

One day counts:

Worldwide deaths -4%

Italy/France/Spain: +2%

USA : -8%

World ex-USA: +7%

All that is lower than the longer term averages.

3 day averages also look good:

Worldwide: +11%

Italy/France/Spain: +1%

USA: +24%

World ex-USA: +9%.

All those 3 day average numbers are better than the long term trends, so all improving.

Germany is a dark spot…they seem to losing their lead as deaths climb there. But still, its death per million count is 13 vs peers up in the 60s.

New cases…Italy, Spain - and less neatly France - have continued in their bands of 11-15 days.

Nothing to suggest cancelling the theory that western nations can break this thing, just as Asian nations broke it.

Broadest measure: increase of deaths over 5 day gaps. This trend continues to improve.

Top number is old, bottom number is 4/2 over a day five days prior:

Hi Yosinglerl,

Interesting you left out data from Russia. Trump’s best friend Putin is handling the pandemic as poorly as Trump. I realize it’s hard to get exact figures when they’re secret, something agip & P should also think about.

By focussing only on countries democratic enough to post numbers, it’s easy to believe these are the only ones with problems. Again, fake data means no analysis is possible, and it’s a free ride where there is no data.

Russia does have big problems. They’ve admitted that it will continue to get worse & there are “problems” etc. Trump sure knows how to pick allies. Let’s not forget his fanboys in UK & Brazil, who are trying to screw up their own countries’ responses.

correction, see bold. I flipped a sign. But the conclusion remains the same - short term trends are improving over long term trends.

Ok guys let's everybody calm down. I just spent some time reading President Trump's response to the final question from yesterday's press conference and I feel much, much better!

Taken from c-span's CC transcript:

FOUR WEEKS AGO, WE HAD THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. WE HAD THE MOST JOBS EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. ALMOST 160 MILLION JOBS, RIGHT? AND THEN ONE DAY I GET A CALL FROM DR. FAUCI AND HE SAID -- AND SHE SAID, WE HAVE A PROBLEM. I SAID, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? AND THEY SAID, WE MAY HAVE TO CLOSE IT UP. THEY SAID, CLOSE UP THE COUNTRY. I SAID, WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT? AND WE DISCUSSED TODAY, AND PROBABLY NOT SINCE 1917, CAME TO THE CONCLUSION, AND SHE IS A FANTASTIC PERSON, A BRILLIANT PERSON, AND THIS IS WHAT SHE KNOWS. I SAID, HAS IT EVER BEEN THIS BAD? AND I THINK I CAN REPRESENT THAT YOU SAID NO. PART OF IT IS THE CONTAGION. IF YOU SNEEZE, I PROBABLY GET IT. WHOEVER HEARD OF A THING LIKE THAT? IN THIS VERY TALENTED REPORTER IS BAILING OUT. HE IS OUT OF HERE. I DON'T BLAME YOU. BUT IT IS A VERY CONTAGIOUS THING. PROBABLY THE LIKES OF WHICH WE'VE NEVER SEEN. BUT 1917, OVER 100 YEARS AGO, IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT MANY TIMES, HORRIBLE, I'VE HEARD FROM 50 TO 75, 75 TO 100, BUT IT WAS TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. WE HAVE THE ADVANTAGE OF COMMUNICATION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN JUST AS BAD. WE CAN SEE WHAT TO DO. WE CAN HAVE THESE MEETINGS. THEY CAN WATCH ON TELEVISION, WHICH THEY DO, AND THEY SAY, SOCIAL DISTANCING. BUT IN 1917, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT OPTION. THEY JUST NOTICED PEOPLE WERE DYING ALL OVER THE PLACE. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY DIED. TO ME IT IS A GREAT QUESTION, HOW COME MORE PEOPLE DIDN'T DIE IN THIS COUNTRY? AND THEY SAID IT ACTUALLY STARTED IN THIS COUNTRY AND WENT TO EUROPE. RELATIVELY, WE LOST VERY FEW COMPARED TO EUROPE. SO THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING THAT HAPPENED AND WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW WITH PEOPLE IN JOBS, SO THINK OF THE POSITION I'M IN. WE HAVE BUILT, ALTOGETHER, THE GREATEST ECONOMY IN HISTORY. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, PEOPLE COME IN, AND HERE'S THE THING, THEY WERE RIGHT. EVERYBODY QUESTIONED IT FOR A WHILE. THEY SAID, LET'S KEEP IT OPEN. LET'S RIDE IT. IF WE DID THAT, YOU SAW THE OTHER GRAPH. AND WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR ALMOST TRUE OR NOT TRUE, IT WAS 2.2 MILLION PEOPLE WOULD HAVE DIED. IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE GRAPH COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN SHORTER. I ALWAYS NOTICE THAT HORRIBLE ONE WHERE ECHOES HIGH, IT ACTUALLY COMES DOWN A LITTLE BIT FASTER. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OVER FASTER AND YOU WOULD HAVE LOST 2.2 MILLION PEOPLE. SO THEY COME IN AND THEY SAY, WE HAVE TO CLOSE UP THE COUNTRY. AND I SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DOES TO THE FABRIC OF THIS COUNTRY, TO PEOPLE THAT HAD GREAT JOBS, GREAT FAMILY, NO PROBLEMS WITH MONEY? EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, THEN THEY GO FROM THAT TO HAVING NO JOB. AND THEN YOU SEE 6 MILLION PEOPLE UNEMPLOYED. UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBERS GET RELEASED AND YOU SEE 6 MILLION PEOPLE. AND IT IS AN ARTIFICIAL CLOSING. IT IS NOT LIKE WE HAVE A MASSIVE RECESSION OR WORSE. IT IS ARTIFICIAL. WE TURNED IT OFF. WE ARE SAYING, DON'T GO TO WORK AND WE WILL PAY YOU. EVERYTHING IS THE OPPOSITE. IT WAS ALWAYS, GO TO WORK AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, THE AMERICAN DREAM. BECAUSE OF A HIDDEN ENEMY, WE ARE SAYING, DON'T GO TO WORK, AND WE ARE GOING TO PAY YOU. AND WE WILL PROBABLY DO MORE. I THINK INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD BE A FANTASTIC THING TO DO. YOU GIVE DEDUCTIBILITY FOR BUSINESSES WHERE THEY GO TO USE THE RESTAURANTS. THE RESTAURANTS WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN BEFORE. THEY STARTED DOING WELL, BUT THEY HAVE FEWER RESTAURANTS. BUT THE BLOOM OF THE RESTAURANTS IS WHEN THEY HAD DEDUCTIBILITY. AND ENTERTAINMENT. IT WAS A GREAT THING. BUT THEY CLOSED IT AND THEN THEY CLOSED IT AGAIN. BUT INFRASTRUCTURE. WE BORROW OUR MONEY NOW AT ZERO. IF WE WERE PAYING 5%, 4%, 3%, DIFFERENT BALLGAME. WE CAN BORROW LONG-TERM FOR LITERALLY ZERO. BECAUSE WE ARE CONSIDERED THE SAFE INVESTMENT ALL OVER THE WORLD. THAT IS WHY THEY WANT THE MONEY. SO I KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY. I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH AND IT IS HORRIBLE. BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK FAST. WHEN THIS IS OVER, WE ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE. EVERYONE IS GOING TO GO TO WORK. AND WE'VE LEARNED A LOT. WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT BORDERS. WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT RELIANCE ON OTHER COUNTRIES. WE'VE LEARNED SO MUCH THAT I THINK WE REALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO BE BIGGER AND BETTER AND STRONGER AND I THINK IT IS GOING TO COME BACK VERY QUICKLY, BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO DEFEAT THIS ENEMY. SO WE WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Thanks Trump supporters!

Makes perfect sense...to someone...maybe.

Negligence.
