Trump Already Too Sick To Get Sick
Now there’s an “antidote” worth praying for.
“You don’t have the brains you were born with.”
“That’s a disgraceful question. No wonder your ratings are terrible.”
“Look, look, you know you’re a fake. You know that, your whole network, the way that you cover it is fake.”
That’s the President of the United States talking. OUR. PRESIDENT.
Our POTUS, who happens to be bat-shit crazy and is becoming more demented by the day as the cracks in his throne widen and shift, like a fault line.
He’s falling apart and the whole world is watching. After all, what else do we have to do?
Yesterday, while watching the latest COVID-19 “briefing” on CNN, I thought I was going to blow a gasket. Never, in my entire time on this earth, have I witnessed a President shit all over the press the way Trump does. Yes, Richard Nixon was occasionally combative, but Trump’s behavior is beyond the ken.
Where is it written that reporters have to suck up personal attacks from our politicians? I will never understand this. If I headed up CNN, I’d have my reporters walk out of the room. You can only be called “fake” and “disgraceful” so many times before you cry, “Fuck this. I’m outta here!”
I’ve been mulling over in my mind, the positive changes that could occur if Trump were to become infected. Come on, now, I’m sure I’m not the only one.
If POTUS were to get sick and wind up in a ventilator (he probably has one put aside just in case), we wouldn’t have to listen to him spew lies, misinformation, and conjecture.
We wouldn’t have to be privy to him kissing his own ass on TV and in tweet after tweet after tweet.
We wouldn’t have to look at his perpetually pinched expression, or his carefully arranged coif or his “not of this world” skin tone.
We wouldn’t have to listen as he blames President Obama for damn near everything.
We wouldn’t have to watch him read his “updates” word for word because he doesn’t understand the value in just talking…like a human being. Like Andrew Cuomo. Like President Obama. Like damn near anyone with half a brain and some heart.
That’s because Trump is ignorant. He doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. He doesn't get the news. “Fake” or otherwise.
We wouldn’t have to cringe every time this bastard refers to the man who will toss his orange ass out of the White House as ‘Sleepy Joe Biden.” What a fucking child.
We wouldn’t have to watch as Doctors Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx do their best to appear “neutral” while flanking the Orange Turd in the Rose Garden.
If Donald Trump were to contract COVID-19, this country and indeed the world, might finally be on its way to healing. His getting sick could be just the antidote we need.
If that sounds terrible — tough. He’s a terrible human being with blood on his hands. Possibly the worst human being on earth.
Trump knew about the virus and he dragged his feet. He neglected to act when time was of the essence. And thousands upon thousands of people are dead.
Tell their families how terrible that sounds. For me, I’m going to keep hope alive.
