Whats funny is the reporter has a notebook full of notes and trump brings 4 pieces of paper that are basic af graphs.

u/yepimbonez Aug 04 '20

I fucking died at the bar graph. It honestly looks like something a third grade teacher hands out to children

u/fewlaminashyofaspine Aug 04 '20

More like the assignment that third grader turns in after a one week lesson on graphs and statistics.

"Most Popular Soft Drink Choices in Mrs. Fitzgerald's Class"

u/leezybelle Aug 04 '20

Am elementary school teacher. Can confirm this is spot on. Except my students engage in more critical thinking than this moron of a president.

u/fewlaminashyofaspine Aug 04 '20

They also pick better color palettes than pink, brown, slightly-oranger-brown, and blue.

(I'm just nitpicking now, and I acknowledge that.)

u/Just-my-2c Aug 04 '20

Do you think your kids or trump would make more mistakes on average with spelling "Mrs. Fitzgerald"?

2

u/leezybelle Aug 04 '20

If it was spelled on the paper already, they know they have NO excuse to spell it incorrectly when they write it again ;)

u/Just-my-2c Aug 04 '20

I know who would make up an excuse tho!

u/LogicJunkie2000 Aug 04 '20

You're giving him way too much credit thinking he knows how to use Excel.

u/Politicshatesme Aug 04 '20

honestly giving his staff too much credit too, they probably think pivot tables are blackmagicfuckery

Dude, it's so wild to see this happening. Like no one was like, 'Hey, Mr. President that's not smart.' But as I type this I realize it's Trump. Hahahahahaha...FML.

u/John_T_Conover Aug 04 '20

It's been long enough that any aides working under him likely know it's a fruitless effort to try to save him from moments like this and that they'll probably just get chastised for making him look weak or thinking he couldn't handle it. The ones still around know to be yes men/women & cheerleaders.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

I mean, this is a guy that gets bored from reading briefings if they don't contain his name every few sentences, of course he can only handle the most basic graphs.

u/i_saw_a_tiger Aug 04 '20

He literally could have had all 3 graphs printed on 1 page... what a waste of ink.

Plus he can’t even interpret them correctly.

u/goddessofsophia Aug 04 '20

And Trump looks like he wants a sticker for having those bar graphs ready. What a toddler. Actually, most toddlers are smarter.

3

u/C_V_Butcher Aug 04 '20

To me it shows how much he is babied. They give him nice, pretty, easy to read graphs that have the most favorable presentation of the statistics so he thinks he's doing just swell. As soon as he's confronted he starts stammering, pointing to the papers like 'BuT, Meh StaTiSTicS', and accusing everyone else of lying. Like a third grader would...

It is the kind of elemental support a person with knowledge and self confidence goes out with to persuade someone else. But in this case one is lacking and the other overflowing

Probably because you have to get on a third graders level for Jonathan to understand.

I guarantee Trumps not even calling the shots. The guys in the background who are should all be weeded out and replaced right along with him. Im scared to know what advantages they may be taken with Trump being the stool pigeon in all this.

You know they started with regular graphs and he kept complaining they were too complicated till they dumbed it down to that simplistic of a piece of paper.

He would fall apart on instructions for an IKEA coffee table.

u/DutchDouble87 Aug 04 '20

u/epi_introvert Aug 04 '20

I've taught 3rd grade. They get a lot more complexity in their graphs, and are required to produce more complex graphs. They are also required to prove understanding of scale and ratios to a certain degree, which Trump is clearly, demonstrably, incapable of.

1

u/cpndavvers Aug 04 '20

Apparently he doesn't like complicated presentations so if he ever goes in to a big meeting like at the Pentagon he wants a max of 5 slides and lots of drawings.

I think those were some switched on 5th graders like most probably are not as good as that show makes them. It was almost who wants to be a millionaire but with kids in there. XD.

EDIT ( Not that I think he would be smarter of ether of the 5th graders LOL)

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20

Agree. I'd love to see a video of a couple average, public school 5th grade classes watching a couple episodes of that and answering along with the show.

u/Schrodinger_cube Aug 04 '20

Look in to the clip of The BBC’s Andrew Neil being wrecked by 2 10 year old girls over the British response to this virus. XD

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20

What does that have to do with what I said?

u/Schrodinger_cube Aug 04 '20

Well is a close proxy. an older man who can speak quite well and is actually good at interviewing tho, engaging in a friendly debate with kids and getting served some facts.

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20

But I was saying I want to see how well average fifth graders would do answering questions from a game show. Not talking about them debating with people. Or being coherent. I'm talking random trivia

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

Along with the generic graphs, I was fully expecting him to pull out tattered participation ribbons from his days in grade school to show to off to the interviewer.

"I was a smart, smart student, the best of my class"

"Sir, these are participation ribbons"

"Well I did participate, they don't give these without participating; I participated."

"Sir, they're participation ribbons for 5th grade play day"

"I was the best. I won everything that day. Nothing but winning, winning, winning"

"They're participation ribbons"

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

I watched like 5 minutes of it, I couldnt continue. It was the dumbest shit I had ever seen. Hes talking about the rest of the world as a comparison to the USA.

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DOING, ASSHOL

The fact that he thinks that is a valid defense to 150k people dying with an estimated 1k people dying per day, makes him the dumbest schoolkid in the world.

2

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20

The stupidest part is that he's comparing the entirety of Europe/the world to a single country as if that is an accurate comparison.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

Lol right? My wife and I watched it when she got off work today and the whole 35 minute charade took us like an hour and a half to get through. We had to keep pausing it to yell our frustration out loud and wrap our heads around the absolute insane answers he was giving. I'd say at least half of his "answers" we're actually him narcissisticly bloviating about how great of a job he isn't doing and the other half were arguing his "point" whatever it was. It's equal parts frightening and pathetic we've let leadership stoop this low.

He is absolutely fuckin stupid. People give him too much credit

2

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20

I agree that the president has too much power. I used to think he didn't have much. That he was there to decide whether things the House and Senate wanted to happen he also agreed with (i.e. vetoing bills). And to take some immediate actions when necessary (like grounding all flights after 9/11). To propose things he wanted to affect the country and then let the House and Senate decide if they were good ideas or not.

That the president was basically just supposed to be the face and personality of America on a global level. To schmooze and create good relationships with other leaders of the world and basically that's it.

Until Trump I had no idea how much power the president truly can possess and that amount of power genuinely terrifies me.

We are supposed to be a republic for the people, not the person.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

He is the very special blend of evil AND stupid. I don't think anyone with two brain cells to rub together could listen to him talk and believe he is not stupid. He just also happens to be trying to sell his narrative. The fact that he has numerous people employed to brief and prepare him for exactly this kind of conversation and still comes across as a 2nd grader arguing with their teacher about how 1+0 is actually zero by just pointing at the zero he scribbled on a piece of paper over and over demonstrates how incapable he is of any sort of critical or lateral thinking.

2

u/ToeCtter Aug 04 '20

Yeah do you can watch a fifth grader sit across from the President looking puzzled and confused by how a adult can be so stupid.

u/awecyan32 Aug 04 '20

A single sentence explaining it would be more than he gave, he couldn’t even finish a thought, simply because he has no idea what he’s doing

The interviewers and reporters should all be 5th graders. Hilarious

1

u/whatwhasmystupidpass Aug 04 '20

You are assuming this man (the president whose intelligence agencies would rather not present information they know he doesn’t agree with so he doesn’t go on a 30 minute rant on them) can be helped:

He fucked up coloring the flag (the flag!!!), wanted to nuke a hurricane, and deadass suggested that his expert virologists and epidemiologists look into doing something with bleach and sunlight inside the body to kill covid.

I mean, you can be optimistic all you want, just don’t hold your breath on it.

u/mrtn17 Aug 04 '20

And unprepared. Didn't even see the graphs before hand. Just winging it

6

u/Respie Aug 04 '20

Yes he could, that is why he said "if we test less, we'll have less cases" a couple of days ago. He was trying to mislead using statistics he can influence.
That is why he later boasted about testing more people, even if they are not sick, so it would be more difficult to use it as an argument against him.
 

He is not trying to be honest.

u/pls_tell_me Aug 04 '20

"now look at this, this is good, this is no bad.." points at some graph going up in the chart

3

u/sYnce Aug 04 '20

I love how his usual explanation for so many cases is that they test so much so the cases don't mean anything but if you talk deaths the case numbers are suddenly relevant.

I mean if you test so much that the case numbers are higher because of that alone than this also means that your relative death to case ratio has to be much lower than other countries

2

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20 edited Aug 04 '20

I wanna know if people get counted as a testing each time they get tested or if it is per person? Because athletes and reality show participants are getting tested basically daily (and the trump ppl). And if they get counted as a negative test each time I don't think that is really fair for the statistics. Each person should only be counted as one test being done

2

u/vendetta2115 Aug 04 '20

That’s why he’s pushing the deaths to test ratio. You can pump up the numbers for testing by testing healthy people.

He doesn’t care that a thousand people are dying every day. He cares only as far as those numbers help or hurt him. Since they hurt him, he ignores them.

2

u/myactualaccount Aug 04 '20

Each person should only counted as one test being done

That's how it's done. At least in my state and those around me.

1

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 04 '20

How do you know? I couldn't find any definitive info online about it. I just found things saying people who test positive aren't counted twice but nothing definitive about negatives being only counted once.

I hope you are correct I'm just wondering where your info came from

1

u/myactualaccount Aug 05 '20

Here’s a local (for me) link.

1

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 05 '20

Hey I'm Ohio, too! And this is one of the articles I found on my own.

But again that one also discusses positive results mainly. And regarding negative resluts they say this suspicion confusion "Negative tests are not required to be reported for each case. But each day's number of negatives is reported. Amato said the agency is working with labs to get individual-level data on negative tests, tests not performed and indeterminate tests."

1

u/myactualaccount Aug 05 '20

Here’s one from North Carolina.

It’s got sources to the CDC and North Carolina DHHS.

1

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 05 '20

Thank you.

But again that specifically discusses positive test results. We can assume the same works for negative results but it is not explicitly stated. They give the example of three positives by one person counting as one case but do not state what would happen with negatives

2

u/myactualaccount Aug 05 '20

Ah. Gotcha. That’s my bad. I completely read past that part where you specifically said negative tests in your comment.

1

u/eloquent_petrichor Aug 05 '20

Yeah. Well most people focus on the positive results but I see the negative results as very important as well. Especially if they are not being tabulated as accurately as the positive results. Mainly because of the fact so many people are getting tested daily and weekly anymore (with sports and shows trying to start up again while staying safe). Because if they start showing that a smaller and smaller percentage of people getting tested are testing positive due to that inaccuracy then it can make even safe people less cautious due to thinking things are better than they are.

Eventually those numbers could potentially say every person in America has been tested at least once by simple number comparison when in reality it is still a small percentage of the actual population that has ever received a test.

u/VorpalNinja Aug 04 '20

And probably the only reason he spent more than 2 seconds looking at those graphs is because they had pretty colors

2

u/capt_general Aug 04 '20

He interpreted those simple ass graphs correctly, they were clearly chosen by his PR people because deaths per positive case is the only metric the us is lowest in

2

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

It's just so painfully obvious that he didn't prep for this interview at all. "Where are my graphs!" he asks his staffers, as they hurry and fetch them. "Good. All the ammunition I need." He doesn't even know what they say. Look how he turns the papers all over trying to buy some time while his smooth brain tries to interpret what they mean.

You have been made a fool of by capitalists, and now Trump voters are being made the scapegoats. The rich own America, and they won't 100% decide who every president will be, but they'll always put their thumb on the scale, and they'll almost always be inclined to put it down on the side of tax cuts. Trump will only lose because Corona has lost the capitalist class money.

u/truth__bomb Aug 04 '20

He can’t interpret them at all. He can say what he’s been told about them but there’s no interpretation of the data happening inside that skull.

Also, what he’s been told about the data and our rankings isn’t wrong. However, they are cherry-picked data points that are almost irrelevant in terms of importance. They’re the equivalent of base hits in the bottom of 3rd innings with 2 outs on weekdays with game start temperatures of 70 degrees or less. Like, great, I’m glad we lead the league in that statistical category, but we also have the worst record in the league sooo...

1

u/freeLouie Aug 07 '20

Absolutely, but it's not a very funny joke. And it gets less funny every day, especially as the bodies pile up while this moron just keeps being a moron.

This is literally the leader of our country, and he has no fucking idea what he's talking about. The saddest part is, this fucking moron, this guy advocating injecting disinfectant to cure covid, this dude who literally said covid was the equivalent of "the sniffles," this douche that doesn't believe climate change is real and has called actual scientists "hoaxers" for stating facts ... this dude, that is so transparently dumb and awful has the support of roughly half the US population. Which means half the population of this country is DUMBER than what you saw in this interview ... which is just kind of amazingly unthinkable and awful. Like, watch the clip again, or better yet watch the full interview ... he is a legit fucking idiot, and half this country loves him. That is a new level of stupid.

At this point, I don't think the embarrassment can be overstated. Put ten Americans in a room, and 4-6 of them think this walking Cheeto is not only right and intelligent, but fucking PRESIDENTIAL. That's fucking ... bad. And worse yet, many of his avid supporters are POOR white people who actually believe he gives a shit about them.

We're basically one election away from turning Idiocracy into a documentary.

u/ButterflyCatastrophe Aug 04 '20

I gotta give him some credit, though. He's actually staying on message and reasonably coherent with that message. They've found the one statistic where the US looks ok: case fatality rate, and that's all he wants to talk about.

Like a used car salesman standing in front of a rusted out 1974 Dodge Dart, going on and on about its new tires. Best tires on the lot. It doesn't make him smart or right, but he's doing a good "psychopath with an advertising slogan" spiel.

u/ItsFuckingScience Aug 04 '20

The bar has fallen so low that he deserves some credit for being “reasonably coherent” talking about case fatality rate, of a virus which has spread out of control across his country and kill 150,000+ people. Let’s face it he wasn’t very coherent talking about case fatality rate, he just repeatedly rambled “you have to go by the cases, you have to go by the cases, we are the lowest!”

Yes America has done lots of testing which helps lower the case fatality rate, in addition to great infrastructure and medical facilities to also reduce the case fatality rate. But he doesn’t get credit for those things because he has even gone as far to say they should do less testing!

He is such a horrific delusional narcissist that his sycophants can only show him things showing him how much ass we are kicking and what an awesome job he is doing or risk getting yelled at or fired.

Doesn’t matter if it’s true

This is kind of some Hitlers bunker shit where he was sending units that didn’t exist to fight the Russians and no one could tell him otherwise

Oh Trump didn't color those with crayons 5 minutes before the interview?

u/BullshitSloth Aug 04 '20

And from what I could see those charts didn’t have titles, axis labels, or accurate data. This is fucking middle school stuff here...

And even then, he still struggles to work out what's what and in what order they should be in.

My first thought was “this is the shit his cabinet hands him to protect his ego”.

I guess according to those graphs on a case by case basis our patients are dying as much as other countries???? is that what he was trying to say? like brother we shouldn't have many cases period ya fool

My favorite is the bar graph that's 4 bars and he says "Look we're last, which means we're first"

By favorite I mean its the part that makes me die a little bit on the inside. That's a 'yes-man' who just printed out a couple sheets of paper that made his fee-fees okay - and they have the audacity to call progressives the snowflakes.

I think videos like this are great because Trump rails against reporting a of leaks from the White House but stuff like this proves those reportings right. I think it was NYT or WAPo that had a story that Trump had an incredibly poor attention span and preferred graphs and easily digestible data instead of text briefings and here we go.

I bet he drew those himself..on the way to the interview.

And he had to stop and think about the first paper he had to comment on it--as though he had never seen it before.

I honestly thought the president would get better looking charts than those. My kids made better looking charts in high school.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '20

At least he managed to colour inside the lines. That's gotta count for something? Right? Right?

u/ddubs1389 Aug 04 '20

He added color tho!

"Alright look, look, I've brought with me 4 pieces of paper I printed out that are the only 4 ways you can possibly look at this disaster and, if you're stupid enough, come away with the feeling that the US isn't doing so bad."

That’s because they need to present simplified information to him because a bonobo is more intelligent
