The president made the comments during a call with his campaign staff on Monday morning that reporters got on.
“People are saying whatever. Just leave us alone. They’re tired of it. People are tired of hearing Fauci and all these idiots…” Trump said, according to Politico.
Despite slamming the coronavirus expert, the president went on to say “Fauci is a nice guy” before saying “he’s been here for 500 years.” During the call, Trump also insisted that if he had listened to Fauci’s advice there would be “700,000, 800,000 deaths.” America has suffered at least 220,000 deaths from the coronavirus. Trump also called Fauci a “disaster,” who is a “bomb” when he goes on TV, but a “bigger bomb if you fire him.” “If there’s a reporter on, you can have it just the way I said it. I couldn’t care less,” the president said following the heated comments. Shortly after the phone call, Trump took to Twitter to complain about the doctor. “Dr.Tony Fauci says we don’t allow him to do television, and yet I saw him last night on @60Minutes, and he seems to get more airtime than anybody since the late, great, Bob Hope. All I ask of Tony is that he make better decisions. He said “no masks & let China in”. Also, Bad arm! “…P.S. Tony should stop wearing the Washington Nationals’ Mask for two reasons. Number one, it is not up to the high standards that he should be exposing. Number two, it keeps reminding me that Tony threw out perhaps the worst first pitch in the history of Baseball!” The president and the doctor have appeared to be feuding in recent weeks since Trump was diagnosed with Covid. On Saturday, Fauci revealed that he was “absolutely not surprised” by the diagnosis. Fauci said “oh my goodness,” when he saw the lack of masks and social distancing during a “superspreader event” at the White House. At least ten people in Trump’s inner circle became infected with coronavirus following the event, which was held to officially nominate his Supreme Court pick Judge Amy Coney Barrett. The doctor called the event “a completely precarious situation” and said he was “worried” that the president would become sick after seeing the event. “Nothing good can come out of that,” Fauci said. “That’s got to be a problem — and then sure enough it turned out to be a super spreader event.” Now, 34 people in Trump’s orbit are known to have become infected since the event, according to a leaked FEMA tally. Nick Note: I find it simply amazing that the media forgets to report that Bidens vice president pick and her staff over 10 people are/were in isolation after they tested positive. It seems they also had a super spreader event on one of those flying infection incubator tubes/ And supposedely they ALL masked up and isolated like Biden in his basement. GET THIS MESSAGE TO TRUMP: Trump is realling blowing it big time here. His arguments are I am the leader of the free world. I camot hide in the beasement. I have to take the risk and meet and greet a lot of people. I took the risk for my counrty. He needs to point out their is a western world surge in infections. And masking up and social isolation is not workling. He needs to tell the people that mass shut downs obviously are not working unless your a totalarization state. He should say i have learned from my near death experience for my country that the drug cocktail i took works. And i want to make it avialiable to each and every Amercain who tests positive and gets symptoms for Free. He is right Americans are tired of lock downs and are willing to take the risk. This would be a different proposition if people had working masks. But i learned a long time ago i cannot change the world. I am now of the opinion that the risk to reward of mass lockdowns does not work. In view of the fact that nothing short of Marshall law will get Americans to isolate and the N95 toilet paper mask does not work we have to have a different strategy. And Biden’s insistence that the solution is everyone mask up tells me we are in even bigger trouble if he is elected. The truth is we are we are in BIG trouble anyway it goes. The world is being subjected to a Bio-weapon sneak attack from Chine. . Simple solutions to complex problems only serves to make matters worse. So if your a boomer you need to save yourself. And mask up with a reusable serious mask and my third generation filter. I have sent out to each and every serious subscriber this state of the art virus filter for free., ou can do more. Like disinfect and Vitamin up and isolate hence the Salvavida line of products is here to save the day. We have solved the mask and filter problem. Soon i hope to have the Salvavida CoronaVit a COMPLETE multivitamin that follows the latest research in coronavirus supplements that may or may not work. But something is betTer then nothing.. i BELIEVE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THEY WORK!
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is leading President Trump nationally by double digits just three weeks ahead of the November election. Biden has 53 percent support to Trump’s 42 percent among registered voters, an 11-point lead, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Thursday. The former vice president’s lead has diminished since just after the presidential debate earlier this month but before Trump was diagnosed with the coronavirus, when Biden led Trump by 14 points. Since then, Trump has been hospitalized and recovered from the virus, the White House saying earlier this week that he tested negative and is no longer contagious. Meanwhile, the battle over Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett has kicked off in the Senate, with the last day of confirmation hearings scheduled for Thursday. However, Trump is still not polling at the level he was last month, when he was behind Biden by only 8 points. His polling numbers are similar to July, when Trump trailed Biden by 11 points. Half of voters, 50 percent, say they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 34 percent say they are worse off now. In contrast though, 58 percent think the country is worse off now than four years ago while only 38 percent said they think the nation is better off. Last month, Biden had a strong showing of support in the must-win battleground state of Pennsylvania, where Biden was born and where he led Trump by 9 points among likely voters, according to a Marist/NBC News poll. In Florida, another state considered vital for the Trump campaign to win, most polls show Biden with a tiny lead of a few points over Trump.
Major stock markets in the United States closed in the red territory on Monday amid worries if the new stimulus, aimed at combating the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, will be agreed on soon. Meanwhile, Fed’s Vice Chairman Richard Clarida warned that additional fiscal and policy measures might be needed to alleviate the losses. In the meantime, Fed’s Bank of Atlanta’s Raphael Bostic noted the rising unemployment represented a risk to the country’s economy. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 1.43% or 409 points at the closing as Apple fell by 2.55%. The Nasdaq 100 fell by 1.63% with Ross Stores Inc. declining by 4.37%. The S&5 500 lost 1.48% as Gartner Inc. decreased by 4.41%. The euro rose by 0.45% against the dollar to exchange hands for $1.17686 at 3:57 pm ET. A minute later, the pound gained 0.18% against the greenback to sell for $1.29427.
Trump’s campaign is despondent as he keeps reusing strategies which worked against Hillary Clinton but aren’t landing on Joe Biden, reports say
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign fears that the president will lose to Joe Biden because of his insistence of repeating attack lines that he used against Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to multiple reports. News reports over the weekend added to the growing list of worries for the Trump campaign, with 17 million voters having already submitted their ballots, and 15 days until in-person voting. Much polling data shows showing Biden leading Trump: An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted between October 9 and October 12 found Biden leading Trump 53% to 42%, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted between October 13 and October 15 found Biden ahead 45% to 36%. Doubt persists in Trump’s own campaign that they are taking the most effective approach, much of it aimed at the president himself, sources told The New York Times and The Associated Press.
Four campaign officials and Republicans close to the White House told the AP that many worry that Trump’s campaign is proving ineffective because has struggled to define Biden and is relying on old talking points, like the Russia probe.
The AP noted that Trump’s attempts to re-use the attacks that he used against Clinton in the last election haven’t been seen to damage Biden.
Brendan Buck, a former adviser to Republican House Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner, told the AP that Trump is being misled by an “echo chamber” of advisors and cheering crowds.
The Times reported that his choice to target Biden’s son, Hunter, will likely not connect beyond his already-enthusiastic base.
Those fears were reportedly deepened by Trump’s performance in his debate with Biden and his coronavirus diagnosis.
The Times noted that Trump’s team are telling Republicans that they expect to do better than the polls suggest.
MACON, Ga. — He pitched rural voters in Iowa on Wednesday, visited North Carolina and Florida on Thursday — states his campaign once insisted were a lock — and is spending Friday evening here in Georgia, which Democrats last carried in 1992. In the final 18 days before voters decide whether to keep President Donald Trump in the White House, the incumbent Republican is spending precious time in states that were never supposed to be this close but now threaten to upend his reelection campaign. Five months after his ex-campaign manager Brad Parscale said Florida was “becoming Trump country,” suburban areas Trump once dominated are looking increasingly bleak. Meanwhile, polls in Iowa and North Carolina show dead-heat races between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The president’s campaign schedule in the final weeks is either a tacit acknowledgment that he’s on the brink of crushing losses in major battlegrounds and once-impenetrable red states, or an over cautious exercise in due-diligence — an effort to shore up support in GOP strongholds to prevent an electoral blowout, or a push to squeeze more from his base in a contest that may be won in the margins. “I don’t think there’s any way Georgia goes to Biden, but there’s no reason for Trump not to come here. He doesn’t want to have a Wisconsin moment to look back on come Nov. 4,” said Seth Weathers, the former director of Trump’s Georgia campaign, citing one of the most common critiques of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 strategy — that she declined to visit the Badger State even once after securing the Democratic presidential nomination Beneath stadium lights outside Middle Georgia Regional Airport, Trump urged his supporters at a Friday night rally in Macon to turn out on Nov. 3 to “show the great people, the great American people, that we’re in charge.” Citing debunked claims about widespread voter fraud, Trump cautioned the crowd here against mail-in voting and encouraged them to show up at the polls instead. Trump’s defensive posture follows a stretch of devastating blows to his reelection campaign that further imperiled his standing in the industrial Midwest, where the 2020 election is likely to be decided, and cast new doubt on his ability to keep the Sun Belt in his column. His own battle with Covid-19 and raucous performance in the first presidential debate sent his poll numbers among women and seniors into a tailspin earlier this month, leaving him little time to reverse the sharp downward trend. The outcome is a campaign stretched increasingly thin in the last leg of the 2020 race, as Trump tries to spend enough time in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania to move the needle with voters without neglecting other states that demand his attention. Despite his 5-point margin of victory in Georgia four years ago, suburban women in the Atlanta suburbs could nudge the state into Biden’s column this cycle — creating a catastrophic loss for the GOP that could further jeopardize its Senate majority. A late September survey by Quinnipiac University showed Sen. David Perdue running neck-and-neck against his Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, while Sen. Kelly Loeffler — who is locked in a special election for the state’s other Senate seat — trailed Democrat Raphael Warnock in the same poll. “I’ve never seen a Republican president with numbers like this in Arizona,” said a person close to the Trump campaign, describing the latest statewide polls as foreboding. But here in Macon, Trump suggested the massive crowds at his campaign rallies — which he resumed earlier this week after receiving clearance from White House doctors — are a reliable barometer of how he will perform on Election Day. While acknowledging that “winning the Electoral College is a very, very hard thing to do,” the president said his enthusiastic base will afford him victories in states he lost four years ago. “All these rallies are like this. We have more enthusiasm than any candidate in the history of this country,” Trump said. “We’re going to win Minnesota. You know, Minnesota hasn’t been won [by a Republican] since 1972.” “There’s going to be a red wave next month,” he added.
“You lose someone and there’s nothing to describe what you have to bear,” he said, adding that he’s “moving heaven and earth to safeguard our seniors” from the lethal virus. During riffs about suburban women at rallies in Florida and North Carolina, he touted his nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a mother of seven who is poised to be confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate later this month. Trump is expected to remain on the campaign trail nearly every day until the election, zig-zagging between the Midwest and southern tier of the U.S. to cover all his bases. Next week he will participate in his second and final debate against Biden at Belmont University in Nashville. Nick Note: Trump is a sinking ship listing badly. He has evoked plan B. Which is to claim by election day the 30 million mail in ballets are a massive fraud. An army of lawyer have been engaged to contest every mail in ballot . And if it works it would be a palace Que. Here is how it goes. If he gets the Supreme Court to disallow the mail in ballets or even a portion of them he will win. Because the mail in ballets are predominately democratic votes for Biden. This election ma well be decided by Trumps Supreme Court where the deck is stacked in his favor…..
Nick Note: New geniality spliced virus is far more contagious. Information i have says it was spliced at the 614 gene mark and is reinfecting the world again. I am warning you this new “mutation” is far more infectious And spreads as an aerosol. You have been warned. If you want to live up your game. Hospitals are quietly upping their Covid wards to the same level protection as the old TB wards……. Is it not a miracle that a genetically modified version of the plague is causing infections and hospitalizations to explode world wide…. And the best all our leaders can do is tell you to wear a coffee filter/toilet paper mask that has been proven not to work. The new spread is Sucking shut economies again and not one as in no new cases in ALL of China…….
China’s is the worlds only economy to COMPLETELY recover from the global plague. In the third-quarter, the economy grew 4.9% from a year earlier, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Monday. The growth followed 3.2% growth in the second quarter. The economy grew 0.7% in the first nine months from a year earlier, the data showed. The world’s second-largest economy has been steadily recovering from decades-low growth seen in the first months of the year caused by the coronavirus shock. The government has rolled out a raft of measures, including more fiscal spending, tax relief and cuts in lending rates and banks’ reserve requirements to revive the coronavirus-hit economy and support employment. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, GDP rose 2.7% in July-September, the bureau said. Nick Note: By some miracle China is the worlds only economy fully recovered and growing again. And they have NO corona virus cases and have had none for months. How do you think they achieved this miracle. Coronavirus wiped out and economy fully recovered and the fastest growth in the world. And this at the exact same time the west is having the most cases ever and economic growth is still negative. Do you think MAYBE they have a vaccine for the global plague they created. Anna pass me my tin foil hat please.You better get yours out to!
Pelosi sets 48-hour deadline for White House to resolve coronavirus stimulus talks after long phone call with Mnuchin
The House Speaker’s demand came after she spoke with Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin by phone for over an hour in a bid to resolve the on-going deadlock.Time is winding down before the November 3 presidential election to reach agreement on a new coronavirus relief package. On October 10, Mnuchin proposed a $1.8 trillion economic stimulus proposal in talks with Pelosi but many Senate Republicans have balked at a package that big. Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, said work remains to be done and set a deadline for the matter to be resolved – though it was unclear what would happen if this wasn’t met.“While there was some encouraging news on testing, there remains work to do to ensure there is a comprehensive testing plan that includes contact tracing and additional measures to address the virus’ disproportionate impact on communities of color,” he tweeted. “There remains an array of additional differences as we go provision by provision that must be addressed in a comprehensive manner in the next 48 hours.” Pelosi said while differences remain with the Trump administration on a wide-ranging coronavirus relief package but she was optimistic legislation could be pushed through before Election Day “I’m optimistic because, again, we’ve been back and forth on all of this,” Pelosi said in an interview with ABC’s “This Week.” “Decisions must be made by the White House in order to demonstrate that the Administration is serious about reaching a bipartisan agreement that provides for Americans with the greatest needs during the pandemic.” Mnuchin’s spokesperson said that he and Pelosi were expected to speak again on Monday night. The Democrat dominated House of Representatives has approved a $2.2trillion coronavirus stimulus package, but a deal with the White House and Republican-held Senate is still yet to be reached. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the Senate will vote on smaller coronavirus relief packages Tuesday and Wednesday. Republicans gave favoured a series of singular bills with smaller individual price tags while Democrats have advocated for a sweeping package that addressed several sectors of the pandemic. The first bill will center on additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which provides assistance to small businesses during the pandemic. The second vote on Wednesday will center on aid to schools and funding for testing. The overall proposal will cost $500 billion, much smaller than the White House’s offer, and the $2.2 trillion package House Democrats recently passed. Nick Note: Sounds amazing but as bad as things are 1/2 a billion dollars will not move the needle.
Isolation from people is the BEST thing you can do. For people I must see they stay OUTSIDE and we speak through plexiglas
Constantly circulate you air. I suck in air through a panel ULPA U15 filter i made and i exhaust the air through a powered ventilator on the roof
Use a proper surgical silicone mask with P3 filters. I exhausted all supplies. SO i made my own. They are the ONLYP3 R ULPA U15 cartage filters made in the world for face masks. I took the technology from Biolabs Level 4 filtration systems. If you had showed a interest i sent you a complimentary sample of my new cartage filter last week.
Take Vitamin D3 in the form of Choleciferol. Usually that is a minimum of 10,000 IU a day. Studies have shown you should raise your blood levels to 25(OH)D concentrations above 40–60 ng/mL (100–150 nmol/L). You can only know by getting your blood tested. I do blood tests every 3 months.
It is also recommended to take vitamin K2 in the form of MK7. Recommended dose of 100 micrograms
You should be taking Melotonan at night 2mg.
I like to add Omega 3 fatty acid supplements
Zinc is a great immune system support vitamin. It is hard to get into your cells because of its ion charge.
Green Tea aides in getting Zinc into your cells. I make it by boiling pure water with FRESH Ginger root (a natural anti inflammatory), lemon and cinnamon Sticks (a natural antibiotic) first. Add the green tea after you boil the other ingredients…. let the water cool a little.
Quinine. I take it in the form of tonic water. In the US Schweppes is a good choice. I drink several glasses a day. The best TONIC water containing quinine is Fever-Tree out of India. It has higher levels of Quinine and less sugar. You can make your own Quinine by buying Cinchona bark purchased at the health food store and making your own. Lots of recipes on the internet.
Nicotine. Despite the hysteria their are many know health benefits. Studies have show that Nicotine is a natural Ace2 inhibitor. And in your sinus it is an antiviral. I prefer to get my nicotine dose by smoking a pipe with organic tobacco filtered through a charcoal filter. Just like Bill Clinton I do not inhale. I now live a minimalist life style with a few exceptions left over from my NY days. Every day i smoke 1 Cohiba Maduro 5 Magicos cigar. If your are nasty smoke obsessed you could consider using a nicotine patch. These can be dangerous.
Mouthwash. I learned a long time ago to flight other corona viruses to OFTEN gargle with a mouth wash containing Chlorhexidine Digluconate. Most all the respiratory viruses grow in the case of the flue on the roof of your mouth. The Coronaviruse grows in the back of your sinuses and then “leaks” into your throat and into your lungs. Many studies have show a benefit from vigorously gargling with the RIGHT mouth wash.
Left Over from a different time in my life is a passion for Scotch Whisky. Now not just any Scotch but Macallan single malt 30 year old. I drink 1 fluid ounce every day after the markets close. The stuff costs silly money. But i have a stash in my “trophies case” See i get the stuff for free. I ask everyone who joins my Millionaires Club to send me a bottle. Needless to say i have a huge stash.
In closing we make no medical claims whats so ever for the above. These are suggestions i found in Published research from what i regard as credible sources. In these news pages i Have published the studies that support these conclusion.
Before taking any medicines, home remedies, vitamins or a drink of water consult your medical professional.
I am taking this very very serious. I lost 3 more people this weekend. Its now killing people i know in their early sixties. But we all know i am FULL OF SHIT and a criminal rouge…..
