        Basically, Trumps characterization of NZ's 11 new cases in 2 days as a "massive outbreak". His typical bloviating bag of non-specifics and fear marketing in an effort to make himself look better than everyone else.

          He's a politician, so he bloviates, like 99% of them. We'd be better off without the whole lot of them.

            No, he's not a politician. He's a failure of a businessman trying to pass himself off as a non-politician, "tell it like it is savior" of the extreme right.

                      Well, no. What he does is makes people look at things. He says "massive outbreak" and everyone runs to say it was only a double handful...which caused the country to be shut down. And we all laugh at NZ. Everyone falls for it every single time. :laugh:

                          'politician' is just a task description nowadays, not a qualification. Anyone can be one, and in fact, all types of people try their hand at it. It's the go-to-job for anyone who hasn't learned a proper job but can still afford (to rent) a suit. :sigh:

                          GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                                :thumbsup: But few people get it. I remember an interview with Thomas Sowell in which he said, not a direct quote, but close: "We expect our presidents to be economists, generals, spiritual leaders, businessmen, philanthropists, educators...it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic."

                                    silly person ! - WTF do you think that despite his original promise to release them (but with an invalid excuse not to) he's keeping his tax forms from being released? Remember - he's a full-time braggart:   he only hides what he thinks will make him look bad. Really! Really! Really !

                                      I don't know what he said and honestly don't care, but I bet he didn't pick out NZ for it's number of new cases / day! If that was the criterion, he should have picked out other countries that are currently faring a lot worse than the USA! Anyway, there is no reliable way to make an objective comparison, as each country uses different ways to test subjects and register new cases. Some just don't test (enough), some just don't report (accurately), and Russia does neither.

                                      GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

                                          At least you have to give him the coming out of it and still manage to re-build the empire over again EDIT: I will give you too, that I don't known if he was the one re-building the empire or only the visible face of it

                                          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                                          Given his net worth, I'd say it really doesn't matter. Sometimes filing for bankruptcy is part of the game plan. People have been known to use that to their advantage.
