(25,517 posts)I get that Trump and his fellow dopes don't care that he died, but he was relatively high profile, certainly one of the highest-profile early deaths. The group of nationally-recognized presidential candidates for either major party isn't very big.

I also remember this one: "Tulas [sic] here we come!". AKA Eric Trump can't spell "Tulsa".

(792 posts)And there was Herman Cain sitting maskless with others maskless fools. Cain was a cancer survivor with a suppressed immune system. Fool. He sacrificed his life for Trump. Did Cain at least get a free MAGA cap?
