Trump Leads Pro-Plague States to a COVID Civil WarRick Wilson: Donald Trump fired the first shots in the COVID Civil War this week, a modern-day Jefferson Davis of the Pro-Plague States of America sending his opening salvo from Fort Twitter at Democratic governors who dared to question if it wasnt just a wee bit early to end the stay-at-home orders in states still far to the left of the peak.
He started the week with claims of total authority and then cried about a supposed mutiny by mouthy state leaders. By Friday, he was up to calls to liberate states.
Who does he want people to rise up against, exactly: People who dont want to die? People who dont want protesters spreading a deadly disease thats already killed 34,000 Americans? Governors who swore an oath to serve their states and protect their citizens? Science? Medicine?

he is truly a stable genius, and smarter than all the generals.
"ironic" use of nazi flags by his army was a surprising tactic.

What's really dangerous is that tens of millions of voters think he should be.
