Now is the portion of our national emergency when the president introduces business celebrities from Wal-Mart

Imagine how crazy our world is that at a conference announcing a pandemic national emergency, the president brings up the Walmart CEO to speak

Trump is shaking hands—which the CDC has recommended not to do—at the news conference where he has declared a national emergency over coronavirus.

Nothing exposes the utter impotence and anti-democracy of the hollowed-out US government like having CEOs speak in the President’s place at a press conference declaring a national emergency

Donald Trump has turned the announcement of a national emergency into a corporate infomercial. This is truly insane.

Trump's National Emergency: Come for the illusion of control, stay for the infomercials from corporations.

Lose-lose: he seems stupid in one way when he reads, and stupid in a different way when he ad libs—“National emergency...two very big words,” “a fairly new and incredible thing that’s happened in the not-too-distant-past,” “we cover very strongly our country.”

The United States is WOEFULLY under testing for #COVID19.

I thank the President for his long-overdue national emergency declaration, but respectfully, we need to see more than blown-up flow charts concerning testing. pic.twitter.com/2cYVV6fIFe

Trump just said this is the best and most glamorous national emergency in history.

Why is Trump declaring a "National Emergency" on a "Democratic hoax?"

Going from "democratic hoax" to "national emergency" in one week.

Trump is an embarrassment.

Donald Trump fired the U.S. pandemic response team, refused free test kits from the World Health Organization, said the coronavirus would just "go away," and blocked states from using Medicaid to respond to the crisis.

Donald Trump is a national emergency.

Who could’ve known that a racist orange TV host with no government knowledge, narcissistic personality disorder, dementia, 6 bankruptcies, 46 charges of sexual assault, plus 38,000 lawsuits, and his dumb demon spawn would fuck everything up so badly? 🤷🏻‍♀️ #coronapocalypse
