Trump's latest tweet: Covid learn to live with it

You have to admit that this incantation of mental disorder shows a rapid disintegration.

Remarkable that he remains as high functioning as he is given who is operative IQ plummets.





Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu. Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!

It promotes dangerous irresponsible behavior. People will get hurt. And killed.

burying you head in the sand and waiting to see if it bites you in the butt. Trump's policy for dealing with the greatest health threat to the country in over 100 years is ignore it and bury the dead.

Or are they so far over their skis, or chained to trump, that they cannot break from that irresponsible message?

"In recent years, flu-related deaths have ranged from about 12,000 to — in the worst year — 56,000, according to the CDC. "

Trump is a disingenuous monster.

I have land and relatives, passed the government language equivalency test but cannot go there.

I beat it because I am smart, strong and tough. People who died from the virus can be dismissed because they were not smart, strong, or tough. On the right-wing forums, the conversations have gone back to, "it is just a cold." They are able to dismiss the 200K+ deaths by claiming that the deaths were not caused by Covid.

A large proportion or our country lives in an Alice in Wonderland universe; a fantasy land where myth rules and facts have no weight. Looking in their magic mirror, they claim that the left are the ones who can not accept the truth.
