Trump Seems To Identify With What He Sees On TV-Someone Should Show Him The Movie - 'Contagion'....

I just watched the first 40 minutes of this movie and it is as scary as hell. It's almost like they made this movie a couple of years in the future to recount this whole Covid-19 pandemic except this movie was released in 2011.

Trump saying that no one could have anticipated nor been prepared to deal with such a situation - really doesn't hold water now that I've seen how the makers of this movie have portrayed and are dealing with this crisis.

It is so eerie that it appears to detail almost exactly how this pandemic started; how it is spread; and how the health organizations like the CDC and WHO track and attack it. It deals with school closures and the economic impact.

As it seems like Trump only seems to learn from watching TV - this movie should be required watching for him. Maybe - just maybe - he might finally understand what he and the world is dealing with trying to wrestle with this virus.

Like I mentioned above - I'm only 40 minutes into this movie. I don't know what's going to happen next or how this whole crisis created by this virus in the movie will be resolved - but I've seen enough of it to get a feel for the seriousness of this situation.

Someone please show this movie to Trump.

The ONLY thing Trump cares about is what does Trump want. Period. The end.

He would be rooting for the virus and thinking about the power and political advantages he might get from death and destruction involved.

This is not about him not knowing or having to learn something. Narcissists don't give a damn about that. Dictators are dead set on one thing and that is what drives this maniac: power.

"Let's see now, how could I become Emperor for life in that one?"
