So I have a conspiracy theory and I hate conspiracy theory's. RE: Dumps' Covid 19 response.

I am wondering (I hate when people start with that) that if you think you will loose a election (Dump) if people turn out to vote and a nice little pandemic comes by that might depress turnout would he want to make sure the pandemic lasts till the election and take actions to make it so. Its just a thought I've been having for a couple of days and I keep returning to it.

I do think the 'enthusiasm' is going to favor Democrats.

... on his previous mistakes, like his biographers tried to warn everybody before the 2016 election.

He's a mentally lazy, attention-craving, narcissistic sociopath. The author of "The Art of the Deal" worried that Trump would END CIVILIZATION if he became President.

I dont think he has the intelligence to come up with that, his advisors though? Some of them do. Most likely I am just being,,,,, paranoid lol.... but I keep thinking it.

If we don’t all bow down and kiss his feet he’s just as likely to launch nukes at San Francisco and NYC as at Tehran

He hates the liberal cities that don’t idolize him

His NPD is on a scale off the charts and he is extremely dangerous

Is not listening to him which made me feel a lot better. My daughter is married to officer in AF and they live off base in San Antonio. I told her I was concerned about covid in her area when she mentioned going to commissary. I asked if people were wearing masks.

She said only ID people are allowed on base now and you have to wear a mask to get on base and not allowed to take it off till you leave.

I thought Trumps people would give them more of a choice especially in Texas but its super strict.

So that means a lot of republicans know Trumps screwing up with covid.

I'm voting no matter what. I'll do this for our future here as a nation. Just like I have every damn election before this one.

I'm voting in the local (state) runoff, and in the general. I will not be dissuaded from my right to cast my vote. Even though my state is a current epicenter and I deal with high risk people in my life, including myself.

I will be as safe as I possibly can, though. I'll also isolate myself from my pod until I'm sure I'm ok. That's all we can do here, folks. Vote and be the change we need for our younger loved ones to have a future.

2016 has screwed a full generation of our citizens already. Being complacent truly isn't an option here!!

That’s all he thinks about.

The very first thought he has about everything is, “What’s in it for me”.

The stuff he says may sound dumb to us but it is in line with a whole stream of things that benefit rich people. For instance it sounds dumb to us to doubt science. But because it is challenged progress is stalled and we just continue to burn fuel. It does seem like the Trump camp is fine with where the covid 19 epidemic is heading.
