Trump Complains About Nancy Guthrie’s Case Dominating News Coverage

President Donald Trump has said the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is a “very sad situation,” but also suggested it’s time to start reporting on other issues.

The president made the remark while aboard Air Force One on Thursday (February 19), when he was asked by Fox News’ Peter Doocy for his thoughts on the Guthrie case. The mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie has been missing since January 31, when she is believed to have been abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona.

“Boy, it’s so crazy. It’s so bad,” Trump said of the situation before commenting on some of the details from the investigation, such as how Nancy’s pacemaker was disconnected the morning of her disappearance.

He then added, “We have to start reporting on other subjects also and see what happens. It’s a very sad situation.”

"Why are you talking about her? Talk about ME."


From 2020:
Hours before the US death toll from Covid-19 surpassed 200,000, President Donald Trump was again downplaying the risks of the disease.

At a campaign rally in Ohio on Monday, Trump said coronavirus “affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that’s what it really affects. That’s it.”

Trump briefly paused before adding, “It affects virtually nobody.”

HIM and him only. Too bad, fuckface. The chaos that YOU have started, is overwhelming your face sphincter. Your numbers need scuba gear at this point.

Tick tock. Andrew just got popped, Bill and Hill are getting ready to testify. Think Bill has any fucks left to give?

It sounds as though he thinks "disconnected" means the pacemaker is immediately disconnected internally and no longer functional. Even if she were dead, it would function for awhile--typically short depending on the condition of heart tissue, but still has nothing to do with the "disconnection" from being removed from the Apple Watch to which it no longer synced via Bluetooth.
