Biden Hilariously Trolls Trump As He Compares Their Recoveries From COVID

President Joe Biden reported back to the Oval Office today after isolating for the mandatory five days from when he first tested positive for COVID, and he was in a good mood, taking time to remind everyone that his predecessor, Donald Trump, wound up in the hospital when he contracted the virus.

“Here’s the bottom line, when my predecessor got COVID, he had to get helicoptered to Walter Reed Medical Center. He was severely ill. Thankfully, he recovered.

“When I got COVID, I worked from upstairs of the White House in the offices upstairs for the five-day period. The difference is vaccinations, of course. But also, three new tools, free to all and widely available. You don’t need to be president to get these tools. In fact, the same booster shots, the same at-home tests, the same treatment that I got is available to you.”

Biden has had two negative COVID tests and no longer has to isolate, according to presidential physician Kevin O’Connor, who gave Biden the all-clear, noting:

“Yesterday evening and then again this morning, he tested NEGATIVE for the SARS-CoV-2 virus by antigen testing.

“Given these reassuring factors, the President will discontinue his strict isolation.”

Trump, you may recall, was almost put on a ventilator while at Walter Reed because his oxygen level dropped so steeply.

Anti-Vaxxers Coronavirus Social Media WTF?!

MT Greene Gets Slapped Down For Posting Blatant Lie That Anti-Vaxxers Are Being Denied Medical Treatment

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on fact-free, extended Twitter rant (19 tweets!) on Saturday, spewing conspiracy theories, vitriol, and plenty of whining as she compared what she called “Before COVID” and “After COVID,” even going to far as to suggest (incorrectly) that some people who aren’t vaccinated are being denied medical treatment.

Greene asserted in her tweetstorm that the only reason the government is urging Americans to get vaccinated is to enrich pharmaceutical companies, which is more than a bit hypocritical when you consider that she owns stock in companies that are producing the vaccine:

Greene holds stock in AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson, each worth between $1,000 and $15,000, according to an August 13, 2020, filing from Greene with the clerk of the House of Representatives.

Here are some of the lowlights from Greene’s social media meltdown:

Is any of what Greene alleges true? Of course not! The woman hasn’t said anything accurate or factual since she announced she was running for Congress. And she’s only accelerated her bullshit since getting elected.

Reaction to Greene’s stupidity was immediate and harsh:

 

UPDATE: Greene’s Twitter account has been permanently suspended for spreading lies and misinformation about COVID.

Alex Jones: Donald Trump Is Either Ignorant Or ‘One Of The Most Evil Men Who Has Ever Lived’

Alex Jones is only good at one thing: Spinning bullshit conspiracy theories about everything that takes place in the United States.

Remember how Jones said the Sandy Hook shooting was a “false flag” staged by the U.S. government as a way to implement gun control? He’s still paying for that lie, and is on the hook for a cool fortune after he was sued by families of the 20 children who were gunned down on that horrific day back in 2012. Courts have said Jones has to pay damages for his lies about the massacre.

And now Jones is claiming that when former President Donald Trump defended taking the COVID-19 vaccine during an interview with right-wing activist Candace Owens, he was either too stupid to know what he was saying or is one of the most “evil” people in world history.

Specifically, Trump told Owens:

“Oh no, the vaccines work. But some people are the ones — the ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don’t take the vaccine. But it’s still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected.”

That declaration of support for the vaccine, Jones believes, means something horrible is going on, and he wants to make sure his moronic followers know what’s happening, telling them in what he dubbed “an emergency” Christmas message:

“This is an emergency Christmas Day warning to President Trump. You are either completely ignorant about the so-called vaccine gene therapy that you helped ram through with Operation Warp Speed or you are one of the most evil men who has ever lived to push this toxic poison on the public and to attack your constituents who they simply try to save their lives and the lives of others.”

Of course, Jones is right on both points when it comes to Donald Trump: He’s ignorant and also one of the most evil men who has ever lived. Millions of us have known that for years. The fact that it took this long for Alex Jones to figure that out suggests he’s dumber and at least as vile as the failed, one-term ex-president.

Obese Trump Demanded McDonald’s Be Brought To Him While He Was In Hospital With COVID: Report

While he was at the Walter Reed National Medical Center in October of 2020 for treatment for COVID, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump demanded that a staffer bring him McDonald’s so he could fill his fat face despite the fact that he had nearly died as a result of the deadly respiratory virus.

How do we know this about Donnie needing his Big Mac fix? It’s one of the details from a new book by former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, who has read the tome:

“Trump had McDonald’s brought to Walter Reed after the Regeneron started kicking in, per Meadows.

“They had to eat with face shields on at the doctor’s orders, which didn’t thrill any of them.”

It has long been reported that Trump has a penchant for the most unhealthy food of all: Fast food. That includes McDonald’s, KFC and pizza, all of which are known to contain plenty of empty calories and are also loaded with sodium, both of which are known to cause heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Of course, none of this should surprise anyone, as others in the former president’s orbit have also reported that is a fast food fanatic.

Corey Lewandowski, who worked as campaign manager for Donnie, wrote that aboard Air Force One “there were four major food groups: McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken, pizza, and Diet Coke.”

Lewandowski also reported what Trump’s usual McDonald’s order consisted of, and just reading it’s enough to put you in need of an angioplasty:

“Two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted.”

How many calories would that be in one sitting? Each Big Mac contains 563 calories. The fish sandwiches have 379 calories each. The chocolate shake rings in at 520 calories for a small. Does anyone think Trump got a small? No way.

The total of those calories is over 2.400. And the average American is only supposed to consume 2,000 calories per day. At least now we know why Donnie has long appeared to be morbidly obese. A steady diet of McDonald’s and KFC will do that to you.

Coronavirus Donald Trump Fox News Joe Biden

WATCH: Jen Psaki Burns Peter Doocy Down When He Tries To Blame Biden For COVID Deaths

Once again Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki destroyed Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy when he tried to suggest that the reason so many Americans have died from COVID lies with President Joe Biden, completely neglecting the fact that the virus was already rampant thanks to failed, one-term former President Donald Trump’s massive neglect when it came to controlling the disease.

Doocy referenced a report that Trump knew he was COVID-positive before he participated the first 2020 presidential debate:

“There’s a lot of talk about the first Trump-Biden debate today. But at the second one in 2021, roughly 220,000 Americans had already died of COVID. Joe Biden said about Trump, ‘anyone who was responsible for that many deaths should not remain as President of the United States of America.’ Is that still the standard now that more Americans have died under President Biden?”

That was all Psaki needed to remind Doocy about some of the lowlights we all saw during the Trump administration when it came to fighting the pandemic:

“I think the fundamental question here is what are you doing to save lives and protect people? And the former president was suggesting people inject bleach. He apparently, reportedly didn’t even share with people he was going to interact with that he had tested positive for COVID himself. He continued to provide a forum for misinformation, which probably led to people not getting, not taking steps forward to get to protect themselves, to wear a mask, to eventually get vaccinated.”

The press secretary then contrasted Biden’s efforts to Trump’s bungling:

“This President has made the vaccine widely available. He’s relied on the health – the advice of his health and medical experts, and he is trying to be a part of solving this crisis, getting the pandemic under control. And I think there’s a pretty stark difference between their approaches.”

You’d think Doocy would learn a lesson and not ask such absurd questions. But the fact that he works for Fox proves he’s not much of a journalist.
