63. Like it or not, he's the frickin' President...

Oct 2020

I get a little amused at posts that basically say “why did they do THIS for him? He’s scum; average Americans can’t afford/get access to THAT...”. You should know, if you’ve ever seen my posts, that I hate him with the fury of a thousands suns. Him and all that hypocritical, money grubbing GOP filth, but...but...

He IS the President and as such is afforded all kinds of considerations we plebes will never get. If this had happened during the Obama years don’t you think we would want them to do everything possible to keep him safe and healthy?

Ok...enough on that point; here is what is really so scummy about tRump in this situation: having been afforded all these advantages, having been rushed to Walter Reed in a helicopter, having been given drugs unavailable and unaffordable to the rest of us, plus a whole team of medical professionals nursing him back to health, he turns around and says, basically; see? No big deal? Don’t let it affect your life, etc. etc. He is truly incapable of learning or emphasizing in any situation.
