Decades ago, a soap actor famously said in a popular ad recommending a brand of cough medicine, Im not a doctor, but I play one on TV. The inherent absurdity of it made the spot a punchline, but history has been repeating during President Donald Trumps coronavirus press briefings.<\/p>\n
The leader of the free world has been playing up the potential benefits of a drug used to treat malaria over the mild protests of White House Coronavirus Task Force honcho Dr. Anthony Fauci. Today, Trump made a rare admission, saying, Im not a doctor. He was quick to add, however: But I have common sense.<\/p>\n
While Trevor Noah continues to do Comedy Centrals The Daily Showfrom his home, he posted a clip from tonights show that compares the presidents dubious advice to someone going to a checkup and theres some random dude standing behind your doctor giving his opinion, like, If you ask me, it looks like you got some of that AIDS cancer.'<\/p>\n
From there, Noah talked about Tiger King natch for a bit before circling back to the press briefing commandeer-er in chief. He noted the Centers for Disease Controls latest guidelines that all Americans should wear face masks when out in public. Well, notallof them: Trump thus far is sticking with the you-can-I-wont approach to facial protection amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n
That made Noah wonder if maybe Trump would sport said mouth-and-nose covering if his aides trick him like hes a child.<\/p>\n
No, Mr. President, he says they might say, its not a mask its a border wall for your face.<\/p>\n
Heres a clip fromThe Daily Social Distancing Show:<\/p>\n
