Earlier this evening, Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office and essentially finally bit the bullet and admitted that the novel, potentially deadly coronavirus that’s sweeping the globe and rapidly infiltrating the United States is a hell of a lot bigger issue than he and his administration have been willing to let on up until this point.
In my honest opinion, which mirrors that of millions of other Americans, this was a last-ditch attempt by our sorry excuse of a president to get a handle on the quickly plummeting Dow as the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic this afternoon, before the last minuscule chances of another four years of MAGA country go swirling down the toilet.
As a result of his desperation, Donald is finally making a few moves in an effort to get this thing under control before we’re facing an Italy-sized issue — though, frankly, they still weren’t good solutions.
Essentially, Trump declared that he was shutting down all travel into the US from Europe, proposed a few financial “fixes” that likely won’t be looked upon kindly by the Democrats in Congress, and filled the rest of his address with a bunch of demands which included people covering their mouths when they cough. Because evidently he thinks that all of America is just as stupid as he is.

Honestly, the whole thing was pretty uneventful considering the fuckery we’re accustomed to at the hands of Donald Trump these days.
However, it was the exclamation Trump made before the address, unknowingly on a hot mic, that did get our attention this evening.
Evidently, Trump made a smudge or a mark on a piece of paper right before the whole ordeal was about to start and it ruffled his feathers a bit.
In the captured audio you can hear Trump exclaiming, “Oh, fuck — Uh oh, I got a pen mark. Anybody have the white stuff … Do you see it? Which side is it on?”
this is the most coherent thing he’s ever said https://t.co/QVjzIidT3n

Wite-Out. That stuff is called Wite-Out.
The hot mic, which was broadcasts across countless national televisions stations as they prepared to air the president’s address, also caught a rather awkward sound check.

This is the world we live in now, folks. We’re literally in the midst of a pandemic and the president doesn’t know the name for Wite-Out.
