Bill Maher: ‘Bright side’ of coronavirus controversy is it might make people dislike Trump

By Fox News, March 1, 2020:

HBO host Bill Maher denied rooting for failure in the administration’s response to the coronavirus, but said President Trump’s alleged incompetence would “finally” turn people against him.

“I’m going to look on the bright side of this and say that I think the coronavirus is going to change people’s views of Donald Trump, finally” he said on Friday’s “Real Time.” “Not for the better,” he added.

Maher’s comments came after a rally in which the president dismissed as a “hoax” Democratic concerns about his handling of the virus. However, Maher stated that Trump called the virus itself a Democratic hoax.

Maher also denied wanting President Trump to fail.

“We’re not rooting for failure! We’re rooting for health! We’re rooting for competence!”

Trump’s campaign fired back on Friday against claims like Maher’s, saying that Trump wasn’t referring to the virus itself.

“Now, the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” Trump told a crowd on Thursday night. “Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You see, ‘How’s president Trump doing?’ They go, ‘oh not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa — not they can’t, they can’t count their votes.”

He added that one of his associates suggested the Democrats were perpetrating a hoax like they purportedly did during the Russia investigation.

“One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia, that didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax,’ that was on a perfect conversation, ‘they tried anything, they tried it over and over and they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning — think of it, think of it, and this is their new hoax.'”

Covid-19 patient in Spain recovers after being treated with HIV drug
https://nypost.com/2020/03/05/coronavirus-patient-in-spain-reportedly-recovers-after-being-treated-with-hiv-drug/
The drug, Kaletra [lopinavir-ritonavir], is an antiretroviral drug that has been used to treat HIV and AIDS for over 10 years — and was combined with interferon beta, a protein that prevents cells from becoming infected. Santiago Moreno, head of infectious diseases at the Ramón y Cajal hospital in Madrid, said the enzyme protease in Covid-19 is very similar to that of HIV. “This enzyme is essential for the virus to replicate. The combination of lopinavir and ritonavir inhibits and blocks HIV,” he said.

Researchers in Spain cautioned that not all coronavirus patients would necessarily respond to the treatment the way Benítez did. But the good news is that if it works, even a bit, doctors can write prescriptions for it immediately. Most meds that are already approved for use by the FDA can be prescribed “off-label” for other medical purposes.

How does a cold virus get genes from HIV? Treating hundreds of millions of people with kaletra would be outrageously expensive & increasing production of it would take a long time given the enormous amount that would be required.

Some of the genes from the HIV virus have been found in the Covid-19 virus. That is one reason why people speculate that the Covid-19 virus was engineered in a lab.

Actually only a few hundred have died outside China, and those are the ones who really needed meds. Most Covid-19 patients have a simple flu-like illness, and recover in a week or two.

There must be 2 Donald Trumps one is a clueless buffoon who can barely put a sentence together. The other is a sinister evil genius who orchestrated a huge elaborate international plot to steal a federal election which was so diabolically clever that a 35 million dollar over year long FBI investigation run by master prosecutor mueller found absolutely no evidence of its existence. This same evil genius is now creating deadly viruses out of whole cloth. Bill Maher isn’t stupid for him that would step up the coke has fried his brain. He us psychotic and delusional.

Leftist politics is a religion for people who don’t have one. That’s why what’s happening in Venezuela does not make a dent in them. True socialism is always somewhere just around the corner like the second coming in Christianity.

You thought Trump would be impeached, as well, didn’t ya, fool?

YOU HAVE BEEN WRONG SINCE TRUMP RAN FOR PRESIDENT and you are STILL WRONG.

Actually, Trump bucked the system and cut flights from China early on, which in retrospect was the right call.

People don’t give him credit for making the right judgment call, even when all the know-it-alls are telling him to do something different.

Likely Trump saved a lot of lives, but Maher isn’t concerned with the facts.

Donald Trump is an enigma to me, right or wrong as i see it is the most witch hunt ever.or nearly. He seems just cruising along unoperturbed of what evil things are said of him. This relaxed attitude must anger every enemy of him. Well i heard Trump saying his father was German and his mother Scottish. Might be he has just too much German blood in him. If you get someone cross you have won but if not even the worst you can think of Trump is called. He does not get cross, Yes he fires and at time not to my liking crude language – if you cant kill kim it not ruin his reputation and if you fail you will make a fool of yourself or I am wrong or prejudiced?

Maher’s ‘bright side is if copious Americans die from the Coronavirus, it will cause people to dislike Trump. It affirms that Maher is a loathsome and pathetic, so-called stand-up comic. Then again, aren’t all Leftist comics pitiful? Maher’s, unfunny ravings typify that of the political Left, they, as is he, are angry, antagonistic toward anyone of a diverse politics. Hatred, intolerance is the base principle of the faux-Liberal mindset, and Maher abides by the faux-Liberals’ golden rule, hate-mongering, fear-mongering, and xenophobia for those who dare to differ from the dictatorial edicts of the faux-Democratic Party.

The root cause of this hatred, of course, is President Donald Trump, a man who declared he would Make America Great Again, and succeeded.

A comedian, he is not, a political pundit, he is not, he, not unlike his peers, is a shallow man extrapolating that anyone daring not to conform to the Left’s, the Democrats’ draconian wants deserves to suffer from a killer-pathogen, like the Coronavirus.So that Trump may fail in the upcoming election. Maher is one sick bastard.

Maher, his faux-Liberal fans, and faux-Democrat counterparts are virus-like themselves. His and their ultimate end is for everyone to sicken from the Liberal diseases of anti-Semitism, anti-American, anti-Constitution, and Totalitarianism.

Off topic – In case you didn’t know, Rod Rosenstein lives on with Trump hatred through his SISTER!

CDC Official Helping Spook Trump’s Economy with Coronavirus Fears Is Rod Rosenstein’s Sister
Feb 29, 2020 by Western Journalism
By Jack Davis

Excerpts from this article:

An intriguing connection related to one of America’s top health officials at the center of the national discussion over the potential severity of the coronavirus in America has some wondering about a conspiracy, while others find only a coincidence.

Fears that the coronavirus will have devastating impacts beyond those already being registered around the globe have triggered a major Wall Street selloff. President Donald Trump has pushed back against the culture of panic.

But is there a political tinge to the pronouncements? Speculation that there could be rose after it was discovered that the health official making dire pronouncements about the impact of the coronavirus contrary to those offered by Trump is connected to another high-profile individual who was often at odds with the president — former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

(A.G. Barr had NO PROBLEM with him either. Rosenstein was Sessions D.A. Attorney orchestrating the Russia hoax and really the A.G.)

…During a hearing to be confirmed to that post, Rosenstein submitted written testimony saying that his sister was “Dr. Nancy Messonnier and that “she is the Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

This week, while the president was trying to reassure Americans that health officials were working to protect Americans, Messonnier was taking a different approach.

“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but more really a question of when it will happen,” she said, according to NPR, adding that a “significant disruption” to Americans’ daily lives is possible.

“We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare with the expectation that this could be bad.”

The combination of her recent comments and her family connection has led some commentators to voice a concern that Messonnier might be pushing the panic button harder than necessary for motives that had nothing to do with health.

“Rod Rosenstein as we all know definitely worked to undermine the Trump administration, which is oddly exactly what his sister is doing by undermining the more logical and calm message the president’s team has issued on the virus,” an article on commentator Wayne Dupree’s website read.

The article contrasted the more dire comments voiced by Messonnier and Republican Sen. Mitt Romey of Utah with others from Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

“It’s interesting to see the contrast in statements from those that are clearly aligned with the president to those who are not,” the article went on. “Looks like this is yet another instance of D.C. swamp creatures using any opportunity to undermine President Trump.”

Really, Maher? And why would that be? Give us your logic on that stupid inane statement.

You’re just a stupid little self-hating Jew who has never had an honest day’s work in your life. You make your living talking about other people’s lives and lying for sensational responses.

You are incorrect.
First, Maher’s Mother was a Jew….in the Jewish faith you are Jewish if your Mom is….his Dad was Catholic. If you have a Jewish Father and not a Jewish mother you are not considered Jewish. Their reason is they can prove you were born from a Jewish mother because they have people who attend the birth.
They cannot prove you are Jewish if only the Father is because they aren’t there when he “pro-creates”…and they don’t see you coming out of a Jewish woman.

Second, I have Jews in my family.

Third, Self-hating Jews are the most vile and destructive to others….just ask Georgie #soros. How do I know this? I worked in the film industry. 75% of the top people are Jewish. I learned from them….. Proudly.

And lastly, this is a free speech forum. And as for knowing anything about me…..people on this forum know more about me than you.

I’m sure no one knows you ….and you are mostly likely a Leftist troll…
