So....I should have to lay someone who is contributing to the problem that could ultimately severely damage everyone else’s jobs.

I'll explain my answer of firing them. If it were normal sick leave, under normal circumstances, I likely wouldn't even mention it to them or do anything. But with what the country is dealing with right now, I would have zero tolerance for either of the two possibilities. One, they are either gaming the system at a very vulnerable time so that tells me they're a lying POS. Or two, they really are sick and endangering other people, so they're either too stupid for me to want to keep employing them or they know better and don't care about the consequences of their actions. I don't see any other possibilities so they would be looking for their next job.

No the problem is we are on the cusp of a pandemic DURING an election year.  The media and Trump are playing verbal catfish like normal, the Dems and the Repubs are leveraging and we all suffer because of it.  People aren't dying from Trump tweeting and it's getting absolutely stupid to continue pointing to that.  People are dying because this administration drug it's feet. Because the last administration supposedly didn't restock properly.  Because foreign countries mismanaged a pandemic tht could've been controlled.

But yeah let's focus on Trump tweets and open ended optimism during a crisis.  I don't like him baiting reporters right noe, I think it's irresponsible even for him.  But my god, this is next level.  People suggesting Trump is at fault for people drinking FISH TANK CLEANER!  He should have said HEY DON'T DRINK THE s#!t!  Because a lot of people aren't coherent enough to realize coffee is hot.  But holy hell.

Rant over.  Just, man alive, there are more important things at hand than pushing narrative blame at the politicians you didn't like before this all started.  This is a group effort of a disaster.

They literally drank it  because they heard FROM TRUMP that it cured the virus.

He literally did not say drink fish tank CLEANER.  He mentioned a drug a fish tank CLEANER contains.  This should be obvious to not do that.  Coffee shouldn't need a warning.  But this is our world.  He shouldn't even say things, duh.  Let his Doctor do that.  But my god, come on.

“Open ended optimism,” that’s a new way to try to defend and whitewash Trump’s lies. Congratulations on your creativity.

Oh eat me, the guys a loose canon and spews verbal diarrhea and a lot of you take the bait.  If he wasn't blathering optimism you would be chastising him for not being optimistic.

The statement in question was made at his daily press briefing on COVID-19. When he lies to the people on a daily basis from a platform that is supposed to be informing the people on this crisis, he is absolutely putting everyone in the country at risk. Lying about our testing capabilities puts us all at risk.
