Trump to Pence: Don't call governors who don't treat you right

President Donald Trump told reporters during a daily White House coronavirus briefing that Vice President Mike Pence is calling Democratic governors such as Washington Gov. Jay Inslee and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, despite President Trump saying he should not talk to them if they don't "treat you right."

Never once has either he or the VP stood up there and spoken of the people who are ill or have died.

Not even "thoughts and prayers" - it's disgusting.

[slothystyle]

He needs to stop acting like a company boss and governors like employees and start acting like a president.

Trump, "The governor is a failed Presidential candidate." That statement is so emblematic of Trump and just another example he is a failed President.
And my god the number of times he uses the word blame. When he keeps repeating the same phrase over and over it's because he knows he's in trouble.

You wanted a reality show president, well now you're on Survivor.

With all do respect can someone explain to me how an con man like this can become president USA, hearing this guy I just don’t get it 🤔

[dpedd]

Why is he acting like the American people aren’t entitled to the help they need, with our own money.

Psychological testing should be mandatory for all political candidates. This guy is obviously very sick, to the point of being a monster.
He lacks the basic capacity for the necessary moral traits to be even a tolerably decent person, such as those delineated by philosopher David Hume (for just one frame of reference); viz:

Useful to self: Discretion, industry, frugality, caution, fortitude, wisdom, memory, enterprise, assiduity, good sense, discernment, temperance, patience, constancy, perseverance, forethought, judgment, considerateness, equanimity (section VI)

Useful to others: Benevolence, justice, gratitude, friendliness, truthfulness, fidelity, honor, allegiance, chastity, charity, affability, moderation (section II)

Immediately agreeable to self: Cheerfulness, magnanimity, courage, humility, dignity, tranquility, serenity, refined taste (section VII)

Immediately agreeable to others: Good manners, wit, ingenuity, eloquence, affability, modesty, decency, politeness, gentility, cleanliness (section VIII)

45* is absolutely deficient in every single one of these moral characteristics.

(This "moral chart" is drawn from Hume's "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" (1751) )

He keeps rambling. Typical con artist behavior

[davidv]

Only Trump could make a Pandemic all about himself.

[wendysteele]

“If they don’t treat you right I don’t call”. Be the President for a change & stop acting like a 5 year old on the playground! 😡

[aprilsmall]

We have a pandemic and you’re taking shots at people instead of doing your job

[hankthepatriot]

So if a Governor isn't sufficiently "grateful" enough to him, he won't call them...
This is called a quid pro quo!!

[jindrichk]

"DO NOT CALL TO WASHINTON AND MICHIGAN" IMPEACH HIM right now!!! He just crossed those states off the map and smiling about it!!!

[dbethiopia]

Just by saying "we've done a great Job", and repeating thousands n thousands won't make the problem go away, numbers don't lie, and if the media is fake, well ppl loosing their lives and their loved ones is not.

[Newday-qxqs]

Omg, people are dying and he wants praise. You cant make this stuff up.

[Kaitos]

Amazing how he makes this pandemic all about him despite so many people suffering and dying.

[Leonaza]

Never heard a president speak with such disrespect to governors as he does on a regular basis. He's crude and lacks anything close to leadership qualities.

[aaronchacon]

“They didn’t know about it” but then “they knew they were there” 🤔 does he even know wtf he is talking about?

[Mariacarline]

Some of these press conference are so painful to watch.
