“These accusations were so deranged. I always knew it would get to the point where people would ask: How did it get to this point? How did it get so bad?”

If something happens to him, they might put a good person in there who’ll win. On a more serious note, I personally know victims of coronavirus and it’s not something I would wish on anyone.]

Well well well… it’s looks like his COVID chickens have come home to roost. It was just a matter of time.
IF the POTUS was possessed of empathy, it might make a difference in how he views things. Since he isn’t, he will just play the sympathy card, pointing out he exposed himself in furtherance of saving even ungrateful liberal socialists like me.
There is little chance of anything positive resulting from tRump’s testing positive for COVID-19. If he feels little effect from it and recovers fairly quickly he will only say, “see, I told you there is nothing to worry about.” And even if he has tough time with it, he is incapable of empathy and any ability to relate to others and would never say, “I now know what you are going through and this is no hoax. Please wear your facemasks.” He will only find a way to boast about how he conquered CV thanks to his being a genius, having a body that is in superlative condition and as the chosen one spared by God. There is one possible positive outcome, but my Christian teachings do not allow me to wish it or voice it.
Yeah, with this buffoon there’s no chance this leads to anything constructive. Watch him blame China for trying to assassinate him or some other staggering absurdity that he still manages to astonish us with.
He doesn’t have to blame China. His people are already on it: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-coronavirus-china-accountable-loeffler
Mr. Winham….I thought Trump has already blamed the military and law enforcement for being so grateful that they have to hug and kiss them…but, there is tomorrow when the Trump blame net knows no bounds.
