    And what does a President act like? Is there some rule book or law that I'm not aware of? Or is there only what you THINK a President should act like? Personally, I don't care what a President acts like. As long as they get the job done in the end. I don't try to pigeon hole people into a square.

    a President doesn't get triggered over a question about something he said

    And doesn't matter if he said New York or not. He said don't need 30,000 ventilators. We guess what? That includes New York. There is nothing dishonest or incorrect by the reported in her question!

    Where did you get that 1% figure?

    https://www.webmd.com/lung/coronavirus-ventilators

    https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/lexington/coronavirus/2020/03/27/coronavirus--the-fight-to-breathe

    Both of these articles put it at 25%, so out of 55,000, that's 13,750 ventilators.

    Back at ya.

    She was quoting him, ffs. How is that out of context? She was asking for clarification, so if the quote she repeated to him was out of context, he merely had to give that context and that would have been that. But Trump is simply not capable of responding to such questions like a grownup. He's a nasty little piece of work, always has been.

    Wow. Is that what they mean by "new math"? :disbelief:

    What makes you think that only half of those who die from this will need ventilators?

    When he said "they're requesting" he meant the governors. Individual hospitals don't call the president; state governors are doing that.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/27/cor...ot-to-call-washington-michigan-governors.html

    And you accuse the nedia of taking things out of context?

    Because he did not say that NY doesn't need 30K

    "New York is a bigger deal, but it's going to go, also," Trump said. "But I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they're going to be. I don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators."

    Is there entire quote

    The question was incorrect. You have been misinformed.

    Trump was not calling out a lie, he was simply attacking a reporter who was asking him to clarify his earlier remarks.

    So basically, the left is STILL playing partisan "Gotcha" games during a pandemic in order to satisfy their TDS.

    ****ing shameful.

    Excuses, excuses, excuses.

    The only fact I found in your comment: "President Trump is not leading ..."

    Oh BS.

    These reporters are playing partisan "gotcha" games because some extremists on the left can't figure out how to let go of their hyperpartisan games in the middle of a disaster.

    It's ****ing disgusting and pathetic.

    The left gives zero shits about this pandemic, the economy, their neighbors, or what we as a country should be doing to get through this. They only see this whole thing as another opportunity to gain political points for an election. It's ****ing disturbing how radically partisan some people are.

    Maybe being exposed to the virus is causing older white men to have memory lapses

    Yeah and that's why he said they are a bigger deal...he was talking about other areas.

    The question was grossly incorrect and misleading, and he never said what the reporter was asking.

    The left continues this misinformation campaign...it's quite sad

    nearly 60,000 HOSPITALIZED cases and rising fast.

    Unlike Trump an you...they look ahead so they don't come up short. Of note...they are ALREADY putting two people on one vent because of the shortage that already exists

    And I bet you think Pelosi Juju jitsued the Stimulus Bill, that President Trump called the Coronavirus a sham and that President Trump colluded with the Russians to become President. Those of you suffering from TDS ignore the facts in favor of the rhetoric and false narratives.

    Thanks for exposing this latest MSM/Gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-Complex lie in context.

    Ironic how their constant LIES of omission and outright LIES dwarf anything Trump ever says.

    Just add this one to all the other myriad lies... disabled reporters, gold star families, mexican rapists, "fine people," shoot someone on 5th Ave., hell another HUNDRED or even thousand egregious Complex LIES since this Corona Moral Panic alone, on and on and on and on.

    Do they ever NOT lie? Do they ever NOT spin, take out of context, layer on fallacies upon fallacies? Do they every simply take issue with this or that news of the day, simply make direct quotes and disagree with what was actually said?

    After decades of it, it's plainly mental illness, and only a small part of that illness TDS... after all they have been doing it for DECADES now, all the way back into the Nixon Admin.

    The only person that didn't understand what he was talking about apparently is you....
