Trump says the US having the most confirmed cases in the world is a "badge of honor"

"When we have a lot of cases, I don't look at that as a bad thing, I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a good thing. Because it means our testing is much better."

so whomever criticizes him for either one - he could say he said the opposite.

With respect to his quote about 'being a badge of honor' - Once An Idiot - Always An Idiot.

He's an idiot!!!!!

Who gets to determine when he is at the point where he is incapable of discharging the duties of his office? Because I would say he he's getting pretty damn close.

That will be the next trend with his cult. I fear there will be a big movement to try to get sick purposely now.

Trump can then blame the numbers on Americans doing it on purpose. His base will eat that shit and smile also.
