Will the coronavirus be Trump's downfall?

Now I'm just going off of today's event. He is bullshitting everything from every other person or doctor that says otherwise. If it gets really bad, will this end up costing him the election because of it getting so out of control and end up crashing the dow? I mean it points to him just covering his own ass once again despite this could be potentially a serious problem.

Will it be his downfall? Maybe.

His incompetence alone will not be his downfall, or he would have already fallen. So, only lots of deaths will do it.

So, to summarize, if coronavirus IS his downfall that means that many people will have died.

So, I guess I do not wish coronavirus to be his downfall. But if many have already died, yes, I wish it to be his downfall.

Complicated, eh?

I just wonder if something like this considering how poorly it's going to be handled will end up biting him in the ass

The same people who thought he was a disaster before the coronavirus will continue thinking that way, the cult members will go on thinking that he is some kind of deity. Even if they get the disease themselves and see people around them getting sick and dying, the cultists will just blame it on "libruls" or whomever FAUX and the AM hate radio machine scapegoat.
