In a new video from the Rose Garden at the White House, a very orange President Donald J. Trump appeared out of breath and a bit disoriented. "Perhaps you recognize me, it's your favorite president!" he started. And then it continued to go downhill from there.
A tweet by The New York Times' Maggie Haberman cast doubt on whether the video was actually shot Wednesday at all considering the splicing and strange time-keeping by the president himself.
“I got back a day ago from Walter Reed Medical Center — I spent four days there and didn’t have to, I could’ve stayed at the White House,” Trump said.
Except for the fact that Trump returned to the White House on Monday, which would have been two days ago.
He was supposed to have released a tape yesterday. https://t.co/y2AKYXs2Hp— Maggie Haberman (@Maggie Haberman) 1602109774.0
Referring to COVID-19 once again as the "China Virus," Trump didn't stop there.
"This was China's fault! They are going to pay a big price," he said.
And now, the people have spoken - or tweeted, as the case may be.
China is going to pay for the medicine. Just like Mexico paid for the wall. https://t.co/vKh9xOIVyK— Stuart Rothenberg (@Stuart Rothenberg) 1602111311.0
