"They're dying because they can't do what their doing"




This clips been posted but the above quote in the subject is the most baffling sentence I've ever heard Donny speak.

(Of course, the reporter follows this gibberish with it's a balancing act.)

"Since then you have felt your mind decaying a little more each day. You have watched your wife slip into imbecility. You have seen the crowds growing murderous with animal terror, the President of the United States babbling and drooling on TV..." -- back cover blurb, IQ83 by Arthur Herzog (1978)

People are dying because they are staying home, it's just killing them.

He said it with great drama. I guess mothers are dropping dead across the country from having to spend the day with their own children?

He's trying to say that it's ALSO traumatic for kids to NOT be in school. So he's equating the fact that kids must adjust to an interrupted education or SPREAD A DEADLY VIRUS TO THEIR FAMILIES.

We're hearing from Trumpy-Boy the results of an education that he never got because he was too busy bullying and threatening his fellow students when he was a child. He can't think logically. He never paid attention. Just as it is right now. He doesn't pay attention. He's too busy preening himself, and he's always too busy preening himself.
