Thus a new scandal erupts …

Prior to and following the start of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus announcement Wednesday evening, a hot mic reportedly caught him making some otherwise completely non-controversial remarks.

“Uh what, oh f–k. Uh oh, I got a pen mark. Anybody have any white … you have any white stuff?” a hot mic caught him saying before the announcement began.

“Alright … ohhhkay,” a hot mic likewise caught him saying after the conclusion of his announcement.

None of this ought to be controversial, especially not after former President Barack Hussein Obama was caught on hot mic promising the world to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Thanks to Trump Derangement Syndrome run amok, however, these benign remarks triggered exasperation from members of the self-proclaimed “Resistance.”

Look:

Trump’s audible ‘Oh f*ck’ moments before he began was caught by several listeners. As was his casual “OK…” at the conclusion, belying his lack of seriousness. @MrScarce https://t.co/HKZdkw6wOm — Crooks and Liars (@crooksandliars) March 12, 2020

If this president’s appalling dumbshit callousness wasn’t already priced in this hot mic moment would be a week-long scandal https://t.co/diJiqhDxxg — Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) March 12, 2020

There is more of the #Trumpspeech hot mic bought to you by a c-span cam person that is probably already fired ??‍♂️ Trump must resign now !! pic.twitter.com/OPnrpycdxY — Reversing°063 (@racc1964) March 12, 2020

“‘Everything is an act…. He has no sense of the gravity of the situation because he lacks the capacity for empathy…. [M]alignant narcissists…can only mimic socially appropriate affect.’” Trump captured in hot-mic-moment after coronavirus address https://t.co/sZYvtoR4nR — Linda Kemp (@LindaLarsonKemp) March 12, 2020

Uh, sure. Meanwhile Trump looked and sounded ill, couldn’t open one eye, sniffed constantly, read inaccurately from a teleprompter necessitating White House corrections to be released, and then showed his true colours on a hot mic after the speech. But yeah, he’s your guy right? — Lynn Holliday (@LynnHolliday8) March 12, 2020

What should be clear about the hot mic is this is all about fuckin OPTICS for Trump, they’re literally throwing an unfit & dangerous man before the cameras who knows he can’t do this job and tbh he doesn’t wanna do it. He is an imminent threat to us now more than ever! — ♠️⚜️Miss Führerious⚜️♥️ (@MissFuhrerious) March 12, 2020

Trump just said “Oh fuck” on hot mic C-SPAN because he had a pen mark on his shirt because that’s all he cares about, and we’re all gonna die.#TrumpAddress #presidentialaddress #Trumpspeech https://t.co/Oct9QpxS2a — ReallyDon’tTrump (@reallyDontTrump) March 12, 2020

The narrative from the left always remains the same: #OrangeManBad.

Conversely, those who acknowledge that the president is a normal human being like everybody else were mystified by this hypocrisy and irrationality of the left.

Look:

OMG really … who cares … not as good as Obama and his Russian hot mic … lets play that one .. just wait until after the election … ok comrade Obama … ???????????? — Popeye (@Popeyeasharkman) March 12, 2020

Who cares about this hot mic moment? It’s understandable when you’re going on a major tv address. It’s not like Obama telling Russia he can do more after the election. — Ann (@LuvNews247) March 12, 2020

So what, a reaction, people cant have a reaction. Dem hot mic moments are much more serious than this crap — Miketr1 (@Miketr1) March 12, 2020

Trump was caught saying ‘oh f—” into a ‘hot mic’ moments before he began his televised speech – So what!!! Look for some Democrat going to a Federal judge and obtain an injunction — Ronald Beaubien (@BeaubienRon) March 12, 2020

Same people who just got done telling us that Biden screaming at a blue collar working and trying to fight him make him more endearing will also be telling us how horrible Trump is because he said fuck on a hot mic. — JAC (@michcusejoe5) March 12, 2020

Trump says oh F* on hot mic….who cares? Not me….at least he’s not cursing ppl out like Joe Biden https://t.co/QyrmQNRn8K — jacquie (@jacquelinenana) March 12, 2020

A lot of the criticism centered on the left’s reflexive defense of front-runner Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and his endless gaffes.

After all, Trump’s hot mic “gaffes” come amid Biden having been caught on mic (not hot mic) telling an everyday American that he’s “full of s–t” and then threatening to slap that same American.

Look:

Today Joe Biden argued with a voter, called the AR-15 an “AR-14” and then threatened to slap the voter in the face. This is an old man losing control of his mind. At what point do Democrats realize what a giant mistake they’ve made backing senile Joe? pic.twitter.com/PBj3fuKEAu — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) March 10, 2020

The stunning footage triggered very few complaints from the left, which has been far too busy attacking both supporters of the president and supporters of Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders for highlighting Biden’s failing mental state.

But no, according to the left Biden’s inability to remember his own name, remember Obama’s name and remember basic facts isn’t an issue.

But Trump speaking casually before and after a major announcement — that’s “yuge,” didn’t you know?
