SUNDOWNER MOMENT: President Trump says the 1918 Flu Pandemic ended the Second World War

Don't care! STILL voting for Trump!

Seven months into the current pandemic that at this point has claimed 165,188 American lives, the President thinks that a 1917 pandemic which started in 1918 and ended in 1920 ended the Second World War.

You queers and your sundowner moments.

I'm looking forward to Dinseh D'Souza Thighlanding this.

Thread: SUNDOWNER MOMENT: Trump mispronounced Thailand as 'Thighland' and the puns ran wild

Thread: Not 'Thigh-land': Thais in Thailand amused at Donald Trump's slip. He is a laughing stock in Thigh Land now!

I thought that was when Trump claimed George Washington's Continental Army took over all the airports during the Revolutionary War.

"The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter at Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our Army manned the air, it ran the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do," Trump said during his speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial

So you are saying be nice to gramps. He can't help it if he has an Adderall habit with progressive senile dementia, right?

Also, can someone please tell gramps that the Second World War ended in 1945.

Then take his car keys away from him?

World War 2 ended when the Jerry's nuked Honolulu

And it only took 27 years!

Trump Falsely Claims That Spanish Flu Ended Second World War

During a press conference on Monday, US President Donald Trump falsely said the 1918-1920 influenza pandemic had a likely role in ending World War II, which did not begin until 1939.

During a press briefing on Monday, Trump was asked how he would have reacted if his Democratic predecessor, former US President Barack Obama, had presided over a pandemic that unfolded as the COVID-19 pandemic has in the United States. However, his answer was a bit anachronistic.

Reporter: “If 160,000 people had died on President Obama’s watch, do you think you would have called for his resignation?” a reporter asked at the White House.

Trump: “No, I wouldn’t have done that. I think it’s been amazing what we’ve been able to do. If we didn’t close up our country, you would’ve had one and a half or two million people already dead. We’ve called it right, now we don’t have to close it. We understand the disease, nobody understood it because nobody’s ever seen anything like this," Trump said.

"The closest thing is in 1917, they say, right? The Great Pandemic. It certainly was a terrible thing, where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people. Probably ended the Second World War, all the soldiers were sick. It was a terrible situation," he continued.

Let's back up a bit here. The great influenza pandemic to which Trump refers actually didn't begin until 1918. While there were huge outbreaks among the millions of troops deployed on the front lines, the virus didn't have a major role in ending the war (as Trump has previously claimed), as the worst peak of infections and deaths came after the November 1918 ceasefire. The pandemic had subsided by the end of 1920.

Who cares?

Because Joe Biden is senile?

lol

what's your point?

I dont think trumps gay.

Thats the guy who has the nuclear codes. Not good.

A cognitively declining senile and confused president who has the nuclear launch codes.

Obviously he meant World War I. But Joe Biden would have said the Spanish American War, or the Crimean war, or World War 7.

probably was what happened just not by history books

That's not even close to what he actually said.

It's exactly what he said.

Video:

Trump: “In 1917 they say, right? The Great Pandemic was a terrible thing where they lost anywhere from 50 to 100 million people. Probably ended The 2nd World War, all the soldiers were sick. That was a terrible situation.”

He probably doesn’t even know all 57 states or who built the intercontinental railroad!!!!

Also, it's pretty scary that Trump thinks the 1918 flu pandemic ended WWII, when it was actually a nuclear weapon that ended it.

And the nuclear codes

Thats some solid trumpsplaining.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Rewriting history just doesn't get more cultish or Orwellian 1984 than this.

No he is not and if he was No Gay Person would even want him

Dementia, stupidity, OR gaslighting. Maybe all 3.


.

All those years of Adderall addiction takes its toll as well.

I don't care, either. STILL voting for Trump!
