Mr DT tried to flex on us saying we had a ‘big surge’
OUR ‘BIG SURGE’ is less than 20 cases per day, managed by locking down the region with the cases. Essential work and travel only. No school, no uni.
rookiemistake26
Hey New Zealand, great job! I’m jealous of your citizens life.
ThanksSir
TheSheeple
There are more confirmed Covid cases within a mile of me than all of NZ. I think they’ll be fine.
CoraciasLilac
Do his people hide the numbers from him? Does he comprehend numbers? Continuing our "big surge" that never lowered is better than a wave?
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
Yes.
tanebot
"I would compare NZ's current status to the US." Well yes, you can compare them. 9 new cases yesterday for NZ vs. 40,612 for the US.
loma45
Adjusted for population NZ would have about 700 new cases vs the 40,612. Just so we're a little close to apples to apples.
tanebot
True, NZ has 1.7% of the cases per unit population. That's in the ball park, right?
afterdarkart
Hey if you're from NZ. Look, we're sorry. Just like Canada should be for Justin Beiber. We'll..we'll make it up to you. Promise x.x
HeadFullOfEmpty
What a fuckwit. Barely comprehensible sentences from Trumpo, then compare Ardens response.
JayEnfield
Seems like he ought to gather up some friends for a nice game of Hide And Go Fuck Yourself.
Chereazi
Well, they did have an increase in cases by infinite %! That's at least twice as high as the one in the US! /sarcasm

I hope I live long enough to read the history books about how much of horrible person he was

I saw her response and realised how hard she's trying 1) not to laugh her ass off, 2) call him a literally idiot.

Hey, the astronaut is doing a great job, don't degrade his efforts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnA4u9CaK7A
GadenKerensky
They had 7 new cases and locked down instantly. Hard and fast. They understand that the moment it's detected, it's already started to spread
SierraFive
I'm sorry, what? "Whoops"??? The Orange-utang yet again proving his superior 2nd grade linguistics.
AwesomeTeddybear
It's not even funny anymore, he's actually mentally challenged
digitalJosh
To be fair Trump thinks 13 is a big number.
hedcase
That's because that's his IQ. He's got to make it sound big.
DarwinsWeasel
And I thought it was more than he could count on his tiny little hands.

I'm actually a little surprised I'm not seeing this get more play in Biden-Harris ads.
BlizzardWave
Are you sure he passed the cognitive test?
BalaclavaBob
You mean trump is attacking a woman ...again ? How unsurprising.
ButterLube

CountAiight
JesusChristbutifhewasaGamer
fennecbutt
Not in this case, he's attacking the country/using it as a "see, it comes back anyway, why bother". Trump is sexist, but don't conflate it.
BalaclavaBob
I can see your point tbh .
Imalwaysready
Surprised he didn't call it a "nasty" little surge.
Kiwibunny
He's not attacking our leader, he's making a false-comparison between our country & the US. Also being incredibly narcissistic.
BalaclavaBob
Yeah, he does that... a lot ... like a lot , lot .
FurtiveGlancer
Because the coward will be killed if he attacked a man...

Fuck i’m not english/us native but i’m pretty sure i could speak 10x better than him...

Fuck off stupid orange idiot, as an Australian I'm very proud of what our next-door neighbours have done in the fight, trump is a pussy. 1
LordNergal
And he jumped the gun by two days. The covidapults were supposed to fire today. Now NZ is suspicious and it'll be harder to add them to 1/

THANK YOU! As an American, I'm proud of nz too. This is about saving lives. NZ is doing a fantastic job.

DarwinsWeasel
Typical Oz understatement...
moochthemessy
Yeah called him an idiot not a orange cunt stain. Very understated I reckon.
HaloArchitect
Lets not insult cunts by comparing their discharge to 45. He's toxic, malicious, and vindictive. I'd rather go down a razorblade slide
HaloArchitect
(while naked) into a pool of H2O2 than hear anymore about him, but let's not descend to his level of discourse. We can and should be better.
KiwiGameDev
Thanks mate! You guys are fighting a good fight too, it’s a little tougher over there so I wish you the best!

Its like when our second wave started here in Melbourne he jumped all over it, absolutely nothing compared to American numbers though
freckledkink
Shoot, we haven't even gotten over the hump of the first wave in America. Trump is such an ass.
WillJeSuis
Just a way to redirect attention "...LOOK AT THEM!" if someone were to drop dead in one of his press releases "...LOOK UP AT THE SKY!"

"Like they were trying to show me something" no you narcissistic buffoon. They were trying to minimize loss of human life. IMAGINE THAT.
blairsette
Waking up everyday thinking every single person is against you must not be a good way to live. Although he’s right about his wife. ?
ConasTaTu
This really shows how he views the world, revolving around him.
quadlibetfortenderfeet
“You’re so vain, you probably think this virus about you. “
witheredspoon
I call it the Trump Virus. No one owns it better than him. He deserves the recognition.
sykoticflaw
He's incapable of seeing literally anything that doesn't directly pertain to or affect him.
Solkanarmy
the press needs to orchestrate a press conference where they don't ask him any questions at all, only to people around him
vjbeard6
Fucking moron.
Cattwalking
No matter the subject, it's always about him always!
Silnt39
He doesn't want a surge! He's proved that from the start. You would have to show a massive decline or eradication to have a surge!
noctynight
He makes the deaths of thousands of Americans all about him. Like seriously what the fuck?
pareidoliaperson
but I don't want I don't want that - a characteristic for a narcissist is that he always tries to close all leaking gaps in his sinking ship
pareidoliaperson
so to clear off of any future accusation that it was his fault the ship sinked. I had a friend&bro-inlaw(tho still alive)that was narcissist
TuckerCarlsonWarnedYouTheredBeGirlsLikeMe
I picked up that too. But I think he was referring to the media reporting it, you know, since they're after him and all.
jimmyhowlett
No no this is definitely about me - Dipshit McGee

His dig at Kamala about her being mean to Kavanagh sounded like a kindergarten kid whining to his mom about a 5 year old classmate
ChronoDigger
Get this guy a presidential podium!
SethCronyn
That’s what I was going to mention. What a prick. It’s all for him somehow. The nerve of this assclown.
jimmyriba
His eulogy for his own dead brother was 100% about himself. So of course New Zealand conquering covid19 is somehow about Donald Trump.
INeverReadTheTOS
He's such a textbook narcissist. EVERYTHING has to be about him. Even the local policies of a country on the other side of the bloody planet
idontenglishsorry
But thats exactly how his fanbase think, propaganda has made them think America is the best country in the world, that everyone is wrong1/2
idontenglishsorry
except them, that everyone do and think aiming at them, that they are the very centre of the world. Movies do that, political propaganda2/3
idontenglishsorry
does that, the culture itself does that. This was a machine that was started a very long time ago and its now being driven by an assclown3/4
Chereazi
Textbooks are a liberal conspiracy to educate people so they don't vote republican, don't believe them!
indielovely
Yeah. You gotta read the books and manuals. It’s all in there.
DarkUranium
MrFancyPanzer
Why did he choose the country that is probably handling covid better than anyone else?
FuckThemIfTheyCantTakeAJoke
He won't continue this comparison. NZ will make him look very silly.
samanthadlcruz
They've been doing that for months now...
sieg443130
Because he’s a worthless piece of shit.
KiwiGameDev
“No-ones doing well, look at them, those people who you said did good, they actually suck! So get off my case we’re no different”
jimmyriba
"They have 90 active cases and 22 deaths. In a way, that's similar to our 2.5M active cases and 173.772 deaths. I take no responsibility."
HypnoJack
I wonder if he ever helped his kids with their math homework...
B4DF15H2
You answered your own question. Needs to take the legs out from under their example in his constituents minds.
AntaNce
In part because Ardern is a smart, educated, successful, compassionate WOMAN, whose citizens love & respect her, and he don't like those.
heartsfang
just like with obama, he feels the need to try to tear down his betters and pretend like they are the same failure he is
HypnoJack
What's it matter? 99% of his supporters would just take his word for it rather than look into it themselves. Doesn't care about anyone else.
samanthadlcruz
but they went from 0 cases (for months) to 9 in a single day... that's a massive percentage increase!!! stop the presses!!!!
practicaljester
Could be because the headline yesterday was NZ delaying their election. (Only by like 4 days, but y’know he’ll use whatever he can)
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
he's probably seen some stats where NZ c19 infections has surged by 2000% in a week or something.
Imalwaysready
Because a) he's a fucking imbecilic moron and b) his myrmidonic followers don't bother to fact-check shit so he knows they'll believe it.
Youreamemeharry
Because the people who listen to him arent going to fact check
Nalianna
In case you haven't noticed, he's not real bright.
Nightcaste
Syphilis induced brain damage
INeverReadTheTOS
Because in his twisted mind, NZ is *only* trying to beat Covid-19 in order to make him, specifically, look bad. He's sick in the head.
Schmong
He literally says it in the article "they wanted to show me something" this man thinks hes the center of the known universe
leechdemon
Yeah, they wanted to show him that people don't have to wait around to die like idiots. Guess he didn't see it. >_<
Fasrill
Pathological Narcissism, his brain is literally hard-wired to view himself as the centre of the universe.

DeepAnalTongue
Yeah, well, at least God is talking to him, so he's got that going. Which is nice.... Actually it's pretty scary that he is that far gone.
BrightSideOLife
Because he wants to focus on percentual increases instead of raw numbers because otherwise the US looks horrible.
Nalianna
At least until 2 weeks time, when NZ has a 900% reduction in cases. Which he will completely ignore
BrightSideOLife
Naturally, then he will find another country who had 5 cases the week before and 10 this week and claim they are doing terrible.
transientmind
Even on percentages it’s fucking awful.
BrightSideOLife
Trump wants to steer the direction towards percentual changes because that is easier to manipulate and make it seem like he is doing good.
BrightSideOLife
Percentual increases, the few new cases in New Zealand means a massive percentual increase because they barely had any cases. 1/2
transientmind
Not when viewed over the course of the entire pandemic.
BrightSideOLife
Of course, I'm not agreeing with him in any way. My point is that he's using irrelevant comparisons trying to withewash his failed response
doobiedoobop
NZi s toying with postponing an election. I'm surprised he didn't bring that up ... actually I'm not, he doesn't pay attention in briefings.
EltonChong
We have postponed ?
hedcase
Not toying, it's been pushed back a month.
KiwiGameDev
I’m pretty sure that’s been confirmed now for October
NZSheeps
It has, Oct 17th
GadenKerensky
And few people seemed to mind it because they don't expect Jacinda to try an unethical grab for power.
PangolinBan
It's not Jacinda who pushed for the delay. It was the opposition. It's also perfectly within the legal framework for NZ elections, and 1/2
PangolinBan
1.5/2 will be less than a month (with NZ likely to have the situation even more under control than they already are while the US doesn't
PangolinBan
3/3 look like it'll have anything under control this year). Lastly, NZ doesn't have a president. It's different.
neov
wasn't it requested in fact by the opposition?
GadenKerensky
Well, I'm Australian, so I admit to my understanding not being perfect, but the news seem to show general acceptance of it.
backrideup9
As long as we stay consistant at about 2000 dead a day, we'll be ok. We cant afford a big surge, it'll ruin the stock market. /s.
DarwinsWeasel
That's about 12 x 737 Max's biting the ground a day. Boeing at least stopped after 2.
jimmyriba
Three 9/11's per week. We'll never forget. We'll never forget. We'll never forget... oh, new week, starting over... never f
jimmyriba
Note that the US went to war with two countries over 9/11 (only one of which was involved). But 200k dead from covid just is what it is.
