Donald John “Knee-Slapper in Chief” Trump has no discernible sense of humor that any of us can detect.<\/p>\n

He rarely guffaws. From what I have read he doesn’t watch movies. He lacks any semblance of self-deprecation. However, the dude does have this annoying habit of relying on others’ excuses for the stupidity that flows out of his pie hole.<\/p>\n

He told that sparse gathering in Tulsa, Okla., over the weekend that we ought to have “less testing” of the COVID-19 virus because it would drive down the number of people being infected.\u00a0I saw him say it. He didn’t wink at the audience. He didn’t say, “Just kidding, folks.”<\/em> He let the idiocy stand.<\/p>\n

Oh, but then comes that trade “expert” who comments on matters far from his wheelhouse. Peter Navarro said Trump’s remark was “clearly tongue in cheek.”<\/p>\n

We’ve heard this dodge before from Trumpkins who seek to cover The Donald’s ample backside. He blurts out something stupid and his team of sycophants says, “Aww, he was just kidding. Making a joke. He was being ‘sarcastic.'”<\/em><\/p>\n

We are asked to buy into that baloney. This guy says so many stupid utterances, he lies with such astonishing frequency that we cannot believe anything, not a single thing that he says. Nor can we believe the efforts of his team to cover his a** when he blurts the idiocy out.<\/p>\n

This is the same guy who said he preferred that a cruise ship full of passengers remain stranded off shore because letting them come ashore would drive up his COVID-19 infection “numbers.” He said that, too, with a straight face!<\/p>\n

So we’re asked to believe that this Tulsa trash talk about “less testing” to detect the killer virus is a joke?<\/p>\n\n
