Donald Trump was recently asked to give himself a grade based on how he thinks he’s been handling the coronavirus pandemic, and his answer came as a shock to some netizens.
During a press conference, one journalist asked the POTUS the cryptic question and Melania Trump’s husband confidently said that he’s giving himself a “ten out of ten.”
The president then talked about how the system wasn’t set up to handle an epidemic like coronavirus. He also said that no one had ever seen anything like this before bragging about rebuilding the system so that the administration could finally handle it.
Shortly after the press conference, the POTUS’s critics took to social media to complain about his belief that he’s perfect.
“Stop letting him talk/riff every time he speaks the markets plunge. I’m not an economist – it’s not a leap to say the markets are reacting to Trump’s inability to ducking tell the truth. 10??? Out of 10??? Are you high?” Twitter user @File411 said.
“Of course, he would. Meanwhile, back in reality, he scores a negative 750 trillion,” Twitter user @AmoneyResists said.
“He must be using the same magical scale that says he weighs 239 lbs.,” Twitter user @JoJoFromJerz said.
“I’m surprised he didn’t give himself an 11,” Twitter user @JTMontgomery8 said.
“He meant negative 10,” Twitter user @vcspalon said.
“I have doubts that he’s familiar with the concept of numbers,” Twitter user @cpaulman said.
“There… he just blew the whole briefing right there,” Twitter user @Midwestny1 said.
“Donald Trump is so out of touch that it’s almost too impossible to believe… except it’s easy to believe because it’s exactly who he is. He’s a narcissistic pig who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who sits on a gold-plated toilet bowl located in a 5th Ave penthouse,” Twitter user @RussOnPolitics said.
“No offense, but if you expected an answer any different than that, you haven’t been paying attention,” Twitter user @FierceDragonfly said.
As of the time of writing, the POTUS hasn’t received a positive response on Twitter after rating himself.
