Donald Trump held his second press briefing on the deadly coronavirus that’s gone worldwide, with a death just reported in Washington state. The presser was pretty wild, of course, with the former reality show star looking exhausted, and perhaps on Adderall or whatnot. Trump was all over the map and even suggested closing the Southern border even though no one from Mexico has reportedly contracted the coronavirus. Meanwhile, the markets have continued to tumble.
Trump seemed to be having a slap fight with the English language as he tried to soothe the public’s concerns, saying, “Healthy people, if you’re healthy, you’ll probably go through a process, and you’ll be fine.”
But, during the press conference, Vice President Pence and Donald Trump hovered around Dr. Anthony Fauci — an actual expert in the field — as he listed the added risks to anyone suffering from “heart disease, diabetes, obesity,” and he mentioned the elderly, so we know which 73-year-old guy would be at risk at that podium, right?
Watch the expression on Trump’s face:

Trump looks like he has not idea what Fauci is talking about, or possibly even who he is, where they are, or how they got there.

Hilarious watching the eyes of both the President and his minions! It’s like deer caught in headlights.

Trump looks scared. He belongs to all the risk groups

He was actually listening intently for once. Don’t forget, he’s a germaphobe. He doesn’t look well.

Trump hasn’t taken his physical for the year even though he claimed to have taken the first part of it in 2019 when he made a sudden trip to Walter Reed hospital. Now, we all know that a physical isn’t taken in parts during separate years, so we’re not buying it. This would be a good time for Trump to march his obese, and elderly ass into the doctor’s office. We’re sure he’s thinking the same thing, too.
