(10,248 posts)actual numbers fall short. I can already see Trump staging some ghastly self-congratulatory victory rally when "only" sixty or seventy thousand people die.

(3,818 posts)does this jackass think he's using?? These deaths are going to be going on for a long, long time and they are going to keep adding up.

(13,059 posts)Trump will take credit for it and many low information voters will go along with it. Of course if the pandemic peters out that is good news, but if Trump can take credit for it that's bad news.

He does not care about anything but his miserable self. He needs to feel the wrath of his hate.
He is a criminal and murderer. He should be arrested. Period
