“He didn’t mean to hit me officer. He’s a good man.”

Oh please.

Ho ho, very amusing.

again, this guy? When will America realise he does only harm to the country?

Right. And I'm Mother Teresa.

trumpo is not funny, he is mean.

So many people eager to be making excuses for a complete idiot

He doesn’t know the meaning.

TongueInCheek Pandemic Influenza: One Flu Over The KuKlux Nest.

120,000 Americans are dead, and realdonaldtrump is making 'tongue in cheek' comments/jokes?

Really? How about asking the families and loved ones of the 122, 000 US citizens who have died if they appreciate you making a joke about it? I'm sure your levity will be a comfort during their terrible and absolute grief!

These people do think we are dumb

Barrel of laughs

PeterNavarro45 is right and lying CCP media like is blatantly wrong.

so trump thinks 120,000 dead Americans is a hilarious?

I've never seen a president that needed others to explain what he said so many times.

Communists never really party. Mostly, they sit around drinking box wine, arguing strategy. Navarros shooting from the hip BS can and will be destructive for trade relations, just for starters.

Oh please. His tongue couldn’t find his cheek if his molars gave directions.

He came totally unhinged and ignorant this time, take a look at COVID-19 death rate in your country, dude!

Seemedvlike it to me.

Nose in ass.

😂😂😂

President Trump bragged he 'said to [his] people, slow the testing down.' HHS Secretary Alex Azar,CDC Director Robert Redfield,FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn,NIAID Director Tony Fauci,Surgeon General Jerome Adams need to be called to tell Congress their roles slowing testing down.

No...it was head up ass.

Law: Deaths 120000. Leader does not do tongue in cheek.

He is the one who prescribed hydrochloridething to the American people. Human scum.

And if you believe that......

This is THE knucklehead.

There's a change. Trump does 'tongue in cheek' rather than 'foot in mouth'.

Absolutely meaningfull in face of fact , getting rid off what we call trumpisation , especialy true and several magic0770spel

Remember when realDonaldTrump bragged that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave + get away w/ it? People always tell you who they are. How many lives will POTUS, PeterNavarro, GOP, and senatemajldr trade for $ + power? TrumpMeltdown TrumpRallyFail GOPCorruptionOverCountry

We believe trumo

sounds like Peter Navarro my have his tongue in realDonaldTrump cheeks, or somewhere between sycophant enabler

whose tongue in which cheek?

Phantom_Delight Fuck Guardian! The outlet has been sold outside.

DUMP TRUMP 2020 !!!

Oh BS!

Oh, puleeeze

The big problem is that I doubt whether the majority of people attending the rally would have the intellectual ability to recognise “tongue in cheek”!

Lying prick, is my take.

Was abuse of power and grounds for impeachment as well as indictable if done by anyone in power who isn't President. They know this as why they were so quick to jump out and say it was a joke. WH made a statement minutes after it was said.

No one was cracking jokes about the 3,000 who died in 9/11 in 2001 (not even fringe stand up comedians), the president of the United States making jokes about 100,000+ who have died and the thousands that are still dying defies logic

You mean 'Foot-in-mouth'

Trump and Navarro meant it. Hear no evil, see no evil, but they sure speak the evil!

Tongue in cheek? That's what you call this?

Of course it was, and everyone knows it. It's what he does, he's a funny guy. Get over it

He notes that he predicted that China would give 'us' a pandemic - Giving epidemics to 'susceptible/disease-naive populations' has been a strategy for conquering people (incl. the Americas) for many years. In this case: no evidence that it is man-made or deliberate.

Right, because realDonaldTrump is famous for his comedic skills & timing. Let’s be real... Trump did what he often does. During a stream of consciousness rant, he said the quiet part out loud. He’s a narcissistic sociopath. He’s only in this for ego, fame & money. That’s it.

Simple question, why did he feel the need to make those comments as POTUS?

Says no-one who knows.

More like “foot-in-mouth,” but do tell

I call BS

It was more like “foot in mouth”

And about as funny as a swab jammed up your nose.

Of course, Peter Navarro is only joking.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Do not believe anything loser Peter Navarro has to say about his padrone, the guy tried to get elected five time and failed, only reason he has a position at WH is because his nose is up realDonaldTrump We need DrFauci NOT the liarinchief trump or pence

Does the orange chump this is a joke realDonaldTrump

PeterNavarro45 No one is buying this Peter. The pandemic response in the US is less than disgraceful. 120k deaths is nothing to joke about as the US has the highest death rate from COVID-19 globally at this point.

Trump & his people are just liars- PeterNavarro45 peternavarro. We heard it & saw it-not tongue in cheek- in fact it mirrors what he said when he would not let Americans of the cruise ship early on-b/c he did't want the numbers to go up. Near 123,000 dead coronavirus.

That is even worse than if he meant it 🤬

Does anyone want to actually win this election?

More like penis in rectum

They just don’t get trumps humor. But I do🤣

Ah Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha said 120,000 Americans ☠️☠️☠️

For most people the 'I was joking' excuse stopped working at eight years old.

I’m saying bullshit.

He was speaking from the standpoint of humor.

FDR: Stop counting the ships bombed by the Japanese and the number of service members killed! If you stop counting them, we suffer fewer losses! Get it? Hahahahaha!

A Trump sycophant again saying “what Donald said isn’t really what Donald said” Even the most ardent Trump supporters, including Navarro, know that Donald doesn’t even know what Donald said.

Donald Trump Engaging In Hot Pics With Bikini Bystander

Tongue in somewhere.

Trying to justify stupid comment. Noone is buying it.

Trump supporters 2016: He says what he sees 2018: He means what he says 2019: He doesn't actually mean what he says 2020: He is only being sarcastic.

As we say in Finland, 'kännissä ja läpällä'.

Of course it was! And he was testing his eyesight too. How stupid do these stupid people think we are?

No, Peter, your tongue is up Trump's cheeks, trying to cover his reckless ass once again..We should be celebrating that Trump finally told the truth.. - Peter Navarro: Trump call to slow Covid-19 testing was 'tongue in cheek'

Anyone want a big bag of magic beans? I have plenty.

Peter Navarro’s apology was tongue in Trump’s ass.

He's busy hating China Death By China: How America Lost Its Manufacturing Base (Official Version) via YouTube

Navarro defending trumps fuckwittery was ‘tongue in anus’.

There is always an off the cuff excuse. This has happened way too often to continue treating it as misunderstood.

Take your tongue out of his cheek FFS

My arse.
