I hope I’m not surprising anyone when I say: Mr President, don’t take it (New England Journal of I heard it from a guy)

“Just when you think things can’t get any weirder, Trump cranks it up to 11 and then swallows the knob. When questioned at an event earlier in the day Trump said he has been taking hydroxychloroquine. The anti-malarial drug is not proven to treat coronavirus and has serious, potentially lethal side-effects, though that hasn’t stopped the president from touting the drug publicly, which prompted a whistleblower complaint last week from former health and human services official Dr Rick Bright. 

When asked on Monday about what research he has that hydroxychloroquine is a preventative wonder drug, Trump cited the New England Journal of I heard it from a guy. Or, to quote the president: ‘Here’s my evidence: I get a lot of positive calls about it.’ For the sake of his children, I hope he’s not getting a lot of positive calls about Clorox. It was such a shocking statement that even Fox News had to clap back, with host Neil Cavuto telling viewers: ‘It will kill you. I cannot stress enough: this will kill you.’ I’m not a doctor, but the newsman says it’s deadly so I hope I’m not surprising anyone when I say: Mr President, don’t take it.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”

At this point, does Donald Trump have any ‘gruntled’ employees? (and that was definitely an option)

“Even before the hearing began, Trump went on the offensive, tweeting: ‘I don’t know the so-called whistle-blower Rick Bright, never met him or even heard of him, but to me he is a disgruntled employee, not liked or respected by people I spoke to and who, with his attitude, should no longer be working for our government!’ That’s quite a preamble. [as Trump] ‘Before I assassinate this guy’s character, let me first say, I have no idea what I’m talking about.’” —Stephen Colbert

“That’s right — ‘I don’t know him, never met him, don’t know anything about him, but he sucks.’ At this point, does Donald Trump have any ‘gruntled’ employees?” —Jimmy Kimmel

“In an interview, Trump brushed off projections of 100,000 American dead as the ‘bottom level of the scale’ that could have been worse. (Colbert as Trump) ‘Yes, the number of dead is actually unthinkable, but to be fair, how about a little gratitude – I didn’t kill all of you, and that was definitely an option.’” —Stephen Colbert

The good news is, it sounds like he’s saying we might make it to winter (If I can’t see you, I can’t give you the corona)

“Dr. Rick Bright, the whistle-blower who was ousted as the head of a federal medical research agency — and replaced with the guy who makes Trump’s omelets at Mar-a-Lago, testified in front of a House subcommittee on Thursday, saying he believed the Trump administration had failed to heed his early warnings about preparing the country for Covid-19. Bright said if we don’t get our act together, the United States could be headed for ‘the darkest winter in modern history.’ The good news is, it sounds like he’s saying we might make it to winter.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“This was a scary hearing today. Dr. Bright warned us that the window is closing to address the pandemic. And, you know, unless that window is a drive-through window at KFC, there’s no way Trump’s even going to bother.” —Jimmy Kimmel

“Of course, as he was watching that, there was a good chance Trump was sneezing into his hands, surrounded by reporters and wearing a face mask over his eyes. [as Trump] ‘If I can’t see you, I can’t give you the corona.’” —Seth Meyers

Or, as Trump puts it, ‘promises made, promises kept’ (Caution, run as fast as you can!)

“While Trump keeps trying to lure us out of safety, health experts are warning of dire consequences if we do. Dr. Rick Bright, a former health department official who filed a whistleblower complaint claiming he was fired because of his opposition to Trump’s support of hydroxychloroquine as a coronavirus treatment. (It’s unproven and could have lethal side-effects). On Thursday, Bright warned Congress about reopening too early, and recalled the dark moment when he realized America was in ‘deep shit’ after a supplier told him they had run out of masks. Yes, thanks to poor planning, America is in deep shit. Or, as Trump puts it, ‘promises made, promises kept’.” —Stephen Colbert

“Dr. Bright’s testimony echoed that of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who warned Congress earlier this week that Americans should be cautious in reopening schools and other businesses to avoid another crippling outbreak. Nevertheless, Trump told Fox Business Network on Thursday morning that ‘we have to get the schools open, we have to get our country open now. We want to do it safely, but we also want to do it as quickly as possible.’ And as we know, the way to do something safely is to do it as quickly as possible. That’s why custodians put up those floor signs: ‘Caution, run as fast as you can!’” —Stephen Colbert
