The "Maybe His Wife Isn't There" Edition
"Never heard of him. But they asked me to terminate him" -- Trump says he was asked to fire the State Department inspector general by Mike Pompeo.

.@jeffmason1: You said you don't know the IG you just fired. What was he doing that was treating you unfairly?— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
TRUMP: "I don't know. I don't anything about him. I don't know." pic.twitter.com/0YNmZNUWGX

Saudi arms Q: "I don't know anything about it"
Aside from the fact he is lying, why does he think "not knowing" anything would make him look good? It adds to his incompetence, that he has no clue what's going on.
When he says he knows everything he knows nothing, when he says he knows nothing he is hiding something. It’s like watching a child fib, it’s obvious and not that complicated— toddicus 🇺🇸🏳️🌈 (@toddlombardo) May 18, 2020

"I want the people of this nation to feel good. I don't want them being sick" -- Trump claims the White House doctor signed off on him taking hydroxychloroquine, which he says he was inspired to start taking because of letters he received pic.twitter.com/R0oKn9XMpP— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
.@jeffmason1: What is the evidence that hydroxychloroquine has a preventative impact?— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
TRUMP: "Are you ready? Here's my evidence -- I get a lot of positive calls about it ... what do you have to lose?" pic.twitter.com/51b967dypu
Are You Ready = Here comes a really big lie— JP (@PumpkinGroup) May 18, 2020
Fox News's Neil Cavuto is stunned by Trump's announcement that he's taking hydroxychloroquine: "If you are in a risky population here, and you are taking this as a preventative treatment ... it will kill you. I cannot stress enough. This will kill you." pic.twitter.com/e6D5alfAgc— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
Trump says he is taking hydroxychloroquine. “I take it. I would’ve told you that 3-4 days ago but we never had a chance because you never asked me the question.” He says he asked the White House doctor what he thought, and he said, “Well, if you’d like it.”— Rebecca Ballhaus (@rebeccaballhaus) May 18, 2020

Trump isn’t taking it. He’s trying to fool everyone into thinking it’s what’s keeping him from getting Covid so he can make money. What other reason to push this heart poison?— (((Deep State Justice))) 🗽🌊🇺🇸 (@littlejackie66) May 18, 2020
Good news: Trump says he's taking hydroxychloroquine despite FDA warnings. Maybe he will up his game and start injecting disinfectants! :-) https://t.co/Al23o1ZzRZ— John Dean (@JohnWDean) May 18, 2020

I really feel for writers at The Onion.— Sam Hale (@Samhale72) May 18, 2020
Trump is either unnecessarily taking hydroxychloroquine, a drug which can cause hallucinations and heart failure, or he’s irresponsibly lying about it https://t.co/GxVzfBmk2Q— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
There Are Light Therapy Experiments To Treat Patients With Dementia
Trump’s disinfectant line made huge news. What stood out for me were his words a/b “light inside the body which you can do”— Tom Joseph (@TomJChicago) May 18, 2020
There are light therapy experiments to break up tau & amyloid in dementia patients.
The only way he would know light therapy existed is if it involved him
I was just explaining that to a friend the other day, and he was blown away, said that gibberish finally made sense to him. Don't think that got nearly enough coverage when you (and others) first mentioned that at the time. Haberman was busy preparing fluff about Melania I guess.— Joe G (@JoeG_FW) May 18, 2020
Exactly. At the time I mentioned that he knows because he is doing experimental treatment for his own health issue.— Mark Hutton (@MarkHutton2) May 18, 2020

It's 2020 - Real Men Do Not Wash Dishes
Listen to this. Trump has absolutely no clue why it's wrong for Mike Pompeo to ask employees to do personal favors for his family. In fact he thinks it's the sort of thing he should be doing. pic.twitter.com/Rkdq7PiSiq— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
Here's Trump suggesting today that Mike Pompeo had good reason to ask a State Department employee to wish his dishes because "maybe his wife isn't there." pic.twitter.com/fMMaHbTeYs— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 18, 2020
Imagine working for the state department. You’ve grown your career working to expand US diplomacy around the world. You’ve moved up the chain of command and now you’re assigned to work directly with the Secretary of State. But then pompeo tells you to do his dishes. What a Joke.— Dakota Floyd (@Dakota__Floyd) May 18, 2020
it's 2020 and the President of the US thinks women are here for dishwashing ... brilliant— greenlight (@stevenk11011) May 18, 2020

Telling exchange between Trump and (Burger King, Popeye's) CEO José Cil. Trump asks him if he checked to see his company's stock price before entering the room.
