This is a double for Matt Hancock.
Matt Hancock has revealed that he had to fight the urge to tell Donald Trump to take his own advice and ‘drink bleach’ when the then-US leader contracted Covid-19.
Orange Man Bad never said any such thing, of course, but let’s not allow facts to get in the way. Much as this excrescent little man didn’t let facts blur his vision for managing covid.
Disclosing his secret disdain for Mr Trump in his new book, the former health secretary branded the ex-president an ‘awful, awful man’ and a ‘plonker’ over his handling of the coronavirus crisis.
The lack of self-awareness here is off the scale. I wonder if this execrable little man has looked in a mirror lately?
In one astonishing admission, Mr Hancock revealed he detested Mr Trump so much that he burst into tears of joy when his presidency – and what he described as ‘Trump madness’ – came to an end.
FFS! Meanwhile those of us who suffered Hancock’s tenure were jumping with joy when it came to an end.
In the first of the extracts exclusively published today, Mr Hancock criticised Mr Trump for making unfounded claims about the benefits of using a malaria drug to fight Covid.
They weren’t unfounded, though. There was some early evidence to support the possibility and it was certainly worth exploring even if it wasn’t the solution. Meanwhile Hancock lied and lied again during the pandemic. When it comes to unfounded claims, Trump was an amateur compared to Hancock and his cronies in SAGE.
A few weeks later, Mr Trump infamously caused widespread outrage with bizarre claims that sunlight or injecting bleach could be used to treat people suffering from the virus.
Anyone who watched the relevant interview with a degree of objectivity will realise that this claim is bunkum.
When it comes to awful men, Matt Hancock is up there with the best of them. He is a shining example of what happens when politics becomes a profession and any half-wit with a politics degree is let loose with the levers of power. He is a vile, vain little man with an inflated sense of his own abilities, which are negligible. Nasty, narcissistic and given his behaviour, downright evil. Trump is a saint compared. Hancock is a classic Dunning Kruger specimen.
‘I lay on the sofa and somewhat to my own surprise, I burst into tears of relief. Finally an end to the Trump madness. He has been such a disaster for the western values I hold so dear.
Like gaslighting a population, locking them down, lying to them and destroying the economy they rely on to feed themselves, creating a situation where people are dying as a consequence of late diagnoses and getting to see a GP face-to-face is now pretty much a nightmare. Those western values? You would be more at home in Beijing, for that is the current home of the values you hold dear, you piece of shit.
Fully agree – that this piece of filth should have been ‘invited’ to preen on TV is a disgrace – presumably using them to publicize his perverted version of his role in the pandemic crimes. I refuse to listen to or watch garbage like that and look forward to his ‘book’ being remaindered within a few days
He’s right though, Trump is an awful, awful man. But Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are awfuller. It says something about the American political system that those three are the best candidates the two major parties could find out of a population of some 330 million.
(I suppose Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak say the same thing about our political system. 🙁 )
It probably tells us something about the kind of people that crave power. However, I’ll take Trump over Hancock any day. He’s not a professional politician and that counts for an awful lot.
Trump was an outsider. He shook up the political establishment in DC.
I remember Mrs L watching the results of the 2016 election and saying that he will kick over a few anthills. She wasn’t wrong.
Trump failed to drain the swamp, snookered by Pence and other turncoats at each attempt. Why he wants to try again is a mystery, as he’s already proved unequal to the task – he’s not a politician, so does not understand the depth of their depravity and deviousness.
Hancock, an absurd little man of limited talents and intelligence, should be remembered best for his corrupt handing out of PPE contracts, notably to his sister’s company (which had no experience in the industry). His ghastly attempt to improve his public image on TV recently in no way excuses his large part in the murder of so many vulnerable people.
