Trump says white people are being discriminated against on covid treatment: “If you’re white, you don’t get the vaccine or if you’re white you don’t get therapeutics .. In NY state, if you’re white, you go to the back of the line if you want help.”

1. And that's why his supporters love him.

3. That's right, Donald, keep stoking the fire of racism and division.

After all, the more divided our country is, the more power for you and your owners.

5. Hmm, wonder why he is bashing N.Y. state?

Could be a tell that Trump is going down in N.Y.

[sop]

6. Projecting

That's what he tried to do to blue states and minorities at the start of the pandemic.

[Emile]

7. Why in hell he's not under arrest is beyond me!

[uponit7771]

13. +1, he literally said he fired Comey because he was investigating him on live TV.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. He's now dividing the country state by state with racism

Transparent motive for all but the stupid.

9. Trump. A brilliant man, really.

If he comes out and tells his Cro-Magas to get the vaccine, they'll boo him. But if he says they're being deprived and not allowed to get the vaccine because they're white, suddenly they're all pro-vaccination.

[AngryOldDem]

36. His skill at manipulation is what makes him so dangerous.

He may not be an intellectual giant, but he doesn’t need to be to push buttons with his base. I’m not sure if these people can ever be brought back to reality.

[malaise]

10. It was no accident that he held it on the day

MLK was born - fuck this racist criminal

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

11. Hopefully, if your name is Donald Trump in New York state, you go to prison for

for your crimes.

Racist, fascist criminal lying POS.

[uponit7771]

12. To 77 million Americans this level of overt racism isn't a deal breaker

Can they all be that stupid to see that they're up a racists ass?

[Lovie777]

15. YES ...

[onlyadream]

16. He just makes shit up.

I’m in NY, and white, and never went to any back of the line (unless I just arrived, to which the back of the line is appropriate).

[gab13by13]

17. He is having a sad with N.Y.

A civil trial which will take a lot of his money, and a criminal trial that could send him to jail.

[Vinca]

18. What the hell is he talking about? His mind is more scrambled than eggs.

27. A WSJ article from Jan 7.

WSJ article excerpt:

New York state recently published guidelines for dispensing potentially life-saving monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals like Paxlovid to people suffering from mild to moderate symptoms of Covid-19. These treatments are in short supply, and they must be allocated to those most in need.

According to these guidelines, sick people who have tested positive for Covid should be eligible to receive these drugs if they have “a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness.” These include standard criteria like age and comorbidities like cancer, diabetes and heart disease—but, startlingly, they also include simply being of “non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity,” which “should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.”

Consider the following cases: A middle-aged investment banker born in Colombia shows up at a physician’s office in Manhattan; a laid-off middle-aged worker of Italian ancestry shows up at a doctor’s office in Rochester, N.Y. Neither has medical risk factors, but both have mild to moderate symptoms of Covid-19. The wealthy Colombian-American could be given Paxlovid; the laid-off auto worker would be turned away. You can construct thousands of these comparative cases using well-off Hispanics, Asians or blacks and working-class whites.

This is unfair and possibly illegal. With these kinds of regulations, the Democrats who control New York reinforce the racial and ethnic divisions that grew during Donald Trump’s presidency. These state officials have been abetted by social scientists who collect survey data in a manner that, intentionally or not, confirms their presuppositions.

...

An excerpt from the guidelines:

Oral antiviral treatment is authorized for patients who meet all the following criteria:
• Age 12 years and older weighing at least 40 kg (88 pounds) for Paxlovid, or 18 years
and older for molnupiravir
• Test positive for SARS-CoV-2 on a nucleic acid amplification test or antigen test; results
from an FDA-authorized home-test kit should be validated through video or photo but, if
not possible, patient attestation is adequate
• Have mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms
o Patient cannot be hospitalized due to severe or critical COVID-19
• Able to start treatment within 5 days of symptom onset
• Have a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness.
o Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as
longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an
increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19

I don't know any more about this. Trying to find more info.

[Wingus Dingus]

39. They should have ended the guidelines at "have a medical condition..."

"Longstanding systemic...inequities" have "contributed" to an increased risk for Covid 19--very unscientific, sounds like theory and assumptions. Plus there are plenty of poor/socially disadvantaged people of European descent in NY and elsewhere. Should not factor in to who receives treatment. The unfortunate thing is it gives Donnie Dumbass and MAGA's ammo in their fantasy race war.

[Jim__]

40. I definitely agree. - n/t

[kentuck]

19. He would like to start a race war.

It's a miracle that America has survived the last 5 years.

[Celerity]

20. its just a matter of time

[myohmy2]

21. now...

...they'll be talking about him, his Big-Lies, what he said or didn't say, what he meant or didn't mean...

...he'll control the narrative, the focus then instantly move to his next outrageous planned regurgitation and repeat the cycle...

...he must not be allowed out of the shadows with attention...he must be minimized with truth and facts...

...let's hope a majority of Americans can still tell the difference...

...I really would hate to see this racist prick put back in the White House...

...but it looks like two of our senators may help to do just that...

...trump...

[UCmeNdc]

22. Dangerous talk.

Talking like a true dictator!

[UCmeNdc]

24. Trump will do anything to gain back his power. Anything!!!

Including setting the United States on fire.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. It's the other way around:

A lot of African-Americans weren't getting the vaccine b/c of unfounded fears of the vaccines containing dangerous elements. But some campaigns have changed a lot of minds since 2021.

[spanone]

29. He's one racist pig.

[sky_masterson]

31. I watched a few hours of that broadcast and that part really stuck out

I wonder how the "Blacks for Trump" took it. Yeah it is pure resentment stoking racism.

[a kennedy]

42. Lotsa of the Blacks were on their phones and not really paying attention to what he was saying......

[doc03]

32. Surely he must be paying the people with Blacks for Trump shirts. nt

[tanyev]

34. I see a lot of white people not wearing masks.

I bet Omicron had a giant party in that auditorium.

[Mr. Ected]

35. Why can't the media just stop reporting every single fart this guy mouths?

He's destroying us. He's not newsworthy. He's very possibly a felon who will be stalling trial when the 2024 election is being held. How about a NEWS MORATORIUM on this asshole....here and in every media outlet on the planet?

[BeckyDem]

38. Right out of the gate when he first ran in the primary he went with a call out.

Sympathy goes to the white guy. He has been validating them for a long time.


The thing to watch, this call-out is so unvarnished, will he keep a hold on what support he has, will it diminish, or will it grow?


I think he is worried and thus is going all out Aryan.

43. Doesn't everyone go to the back of the line?

That's how queues work: first come, first served. Good god, they are victims of their own stupidity, and now they want to break in line.
