Apparently the covid testing criteria in other countries is quite rudimentary. You only get a covid test if you throw up all over the floor. I wonder if my new friend can tell me which country Trump is referring to?



President Donald Trump: (19:16)
I get calls all the time from leaders, "Your testing is the best in the world." I said, "Do you test?" "No." I said, "You don't test?" "No." "That's why you have no cases." Well, very few cases. You know, the cases they have, when somebody's sick, they call it a case. I said to one gentlemen that's very tough, very tough man, runs a tough country, I said, "Do you test?" "Yes. When somebody comes into the hospital and throws up all over the floor, we test, but we never test other than that."

Testing access can vary in Canada province to province, currently in BC only those with symptoms are tested.

given his propensity for projection, has he just told us how his symptoms manifested? And did the cleanup team at the White House get danger money?

I watched this one. It seems much more professionally done than the amateur video you mentioned....

CBS releases footage of Trump walking out of 60 Minutes interview

The accompanying article is a very good read as well.

My SD got tested twice with one symptom each time. On the weekend just gone, an area in the north of the province carried out a mass testing, no symptoms required (anyone with symptoms was encouraged to stay away) and they tested about 2500 in that one off exercise. Saturday results were all negative.

But I'll move this to Canada.

Snivelling weak crybaby, begging to keep his job. Some harsh words in this ad.

I watched both videos and the one that Trump released made him look much worse. After watching the Trump one, I was left with the impression that the Pence interview was cancelled as well. Plus the angle and the iphone camera made him look more bloated and dead-eyed than the 60 minutes video. Whatever the strategy, he failed. Unless his strategy was to boost ratings for 60 Minutes.

He's the ****ing president, he's supposed to be asked tough questions. He makes me so damn angry and sad.

Lion in Winter

Yeah, well, if we get him again imagine the country four years from now.

We were children then.

Apparently I've karma'd you recently or I am a karma tightwad. Both sound plausible. So I'll -----> you in public.

I see Trump has got his way and made his appointment to the Supreme court, an anti abortion, anti LGBT appointment.

Trumps video is 100% uninterrupted footage. Authentic with no editing whatsoever.

The "professional" one has been cut and spliced to be whatever 60 minutes chose it to be. Likewise the one they did of Harris and Biden. Lots of sudden moments and bits that look to have been truncated. For 100% credibility they should release the 100% uninterrupted footage of Biden and Harris. And Trump was right they didn't use the same aggressive questioning on Biden.

Is it? Were you there?

Ah, you must mean a studio production involving different cameras in different places where they do things like switch from the interviewer to the interviewee and maybe have a close-up of a face or a longer view of body language; suspicious stuff like that.

What was your view of those proven edits and changes of other things...one that springs to mind was the speed change when that woman tried to take a microphone of someone and the 'Trump team' version made it appear an assault? Or those others where the editing made it look like answers were unknown whereas the real record showed an immediate answer?
