“As the COVID-19 pandemic unravelled, [he] leveraged his considerable communication skills to address people gripped by fear and anxiety and worked relentlessly to inform individuals in the United States and elsewhere about the public health measures essential for containing the pandemic’s spread,” said the awards committee in a statement.

“In addition, he has been widely praised for his courage in speaking truth to power in a highly charged political environment.”

It's been a few days, doesn't seem to be any response from Trump. 

Of course a billionaire would consider $1 million the equivalent of lunch money. 

Might not be on his radar at all.

It wouldn’t be about the money.

We haven't been hearing from Trump about much of anything at all (jinx, throwing salt over my shoulder, knock on wood). But it's on his radar. The fact that he threatened to fire Fauci and Fauci is not only still standing after Trump is gone, he's getting accolades. Oh ya, Trump is pissed about it.

I don't have a direct connection to him to know his anger or not.

If you don't know Trump is pissed about this you have no deductive reasoning skills.

Sorry, I'm not a hater looking to insult him. 

Deductive reasoning is not knowing. 

Nice attempt at projection on reasoning skills, does that work on the less educated ? 


The following is a deductive reasoning skill;


Correlation Does Not Imply Causation

The phrase "correlation does not imply causation" refers to the inability to legitimately deduce a cause-and-effect relationship between two events or variables solely on the basis of an observed association or correlation between them. The idea that "correlation implies causation" is an example of a questionable-cause logical fallacy, in which two events occurring together are taken to have established a cause-and-effect relationship. This fallacy is also known by the Latin phrase semen hoc ergo propter hoc ('with this, therefore because of this'). This differs from the fallacy known as post hoc ergo propter hoc ("after this, therefore because of this"), in which an event following another is seen as a necessary consequence of the former event, and from conflation, the errant merging of two events, ideas, databases, etc., into one. 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation 


(semen humorously replaces c-u-m in the latin used for the fallacy, due to Laura's need for spell correction in other less savory usages on this board)

Your response in the OP "I love this just because it will piss Trump off so much!" is based on a logical fallacy.

This projection definition seems to apply to your post. 



Projection is the process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer about his insecurities, the bully might be projecting his own struggle with self-esteem onto the other person.

The concept emerged from Sigmund Freud’s work on defense mechanisms and was further refined by his daughter, Anna Freud, and other prominent figures in psychology.

I don't get what the logical fallacy is.

if one were to say that one is extrapolating by saying "it would piss me off, therefore it would piss Trump off", that doesn't work. 90% of what pisses him off doesn't piss me off.

but yeah, I think after watching his enraged tweets for four years, we know what pisses him off.  if you are suggesting that he is faking it, then I think that is just stupid. I don't think he fakes anything. this is him, how he is, and how he feels.

and now, if you don't mind, I am going to go back to not thinking about Trump.

That's understandable that you wouldn't get a logical fallacy. 

Seems to be one of your weak points.

You had a bookmark thread on another conversational fallacy, it was easily proved erroneous.

[Deleted]

Well, it's been a few more days and still not one peep from Trump on the Fauci million. 

We all know he's quite the reserved man, and would keep it to himself if he was irritated about this.  

Or the cult on the left that has him living rent free in their heads, well you get the picture.

Not invested at all. 

I was somewhat interested when you first started this thread, it has waned. 

Nothing happened, that's gone on a lot the last four years. 

Hyperbole, then nothing. 

The list is quite long on the get Trump, aggravate Trump, show Trump he's nothing etc.  

Click my name here, look back as far as you like, I have never defended Trump for his behavior, actions. 

If it looks that way it's unintentional.

So no, I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.

Not interested in your mental health. 

So no, not gaslighting. 

You will look like your flailing here, if you keep jumping topics however. 


As of now, still no response of anger etc. from Trump, with Fauci getting the reward.

You were projecting.

The definition applied to your post. 

Now you should look back to my reply #9, because you're repeating the fallacy again, and I'm getting bored.

C u m  hoc ergo propter hoc    (with this, because of this) 

We've come the full circle.

Since you took the time in a roundabout way to claim during this thread that I have no deductive reasoning, and I'm lying and stupid, I'll also go full circle. 

Was it annoying that Trump had no response after your (bolded) absolute in the OP ?  

Just a little deductive reasoning...

most gaslighters are not interested in the mental health of those they are gaslighting.

that is actually part of why it is offensive.

As in an offensive post responding to an offensive post. ?  

My reply #12 answering #11 

I feel so bad about doing that. 

[Deleted]

Anyway, all personal peccadillos aside, it's been 12 days since the OP stating "it will piss Trump off". 

The Trump response, nothing. 

Guess I'll file this one with the "buckle up buttercup, the Cohen testimony is going to take him down". 

I always thought that one was quite funny
