    Donald, you are partially right. Nobody likes to hang out with a coldhearted narcissist and a pathological liar, and most people don’t enjoy hanging out with racists, either. However, your current popularity is primarily in the toilet because of your inept COVID-19 response in America which has resulted in more than 150,000 deaths along with sending the U.S. economy into a second Great Depression.

    This video is pretty crazy and speaks poorly but accurately about our nation.

    Your first post back in March pretty much sums up how little concern Trump had from the start. Ordinary citizens like you and I saw the red flags, far before our leaders did enough to stop the spread. I remember back in early March going through a nightmare trying to cancel travel plans to Europe. Flights were still going in and out of the US, cruise ships still sailing, and cases in Europe were rising. Remember the travel ban for foreign national to the US? I was thinking, OMG, so only foreigners will bring the virus back but Americans won't?

    Our response to fight the pandemic was always a day late and a dollar short. These 3 quotes from your first post pretty much say it all.

    February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

    March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”

    March 7: “We’ll hold tremendous rallies...I’m not concerned at all.”

    Back then, I saw the importance of how this was being mishandled. I thought with his history, it would be important to see how badly and how many times he would change course as it played out.

    I also thought it was important because I was sick of him by then, and in an election year, I thought it was important for undecided voters to see.

    And 219 pages and 4 months later some people still refuse to see it. What a crazy world we live in.

    There are a couple really good video clips on here. Trump and his mafia are a bunch of selfish, wreckless, maskless morons. They simply don't care about setting an example, and doing all they can to save lives and stop the spread. It's all about them, their power, and their pocketbooks. Just seeing Cruz there makes me want to puke. Go back to Canada Ted, and get the hell out of Texas. You are killing Texans you spineless suckup.

    Watch Fox News and you will understand. They feed straight anti-public health garbage into the viewer's and perhaps Trump's head as well.

    No thanks. I hear enough BS from Trump and his toy soldiers.

    Effing Ted Cruz, standing right behind the president with his hand on his chair like its his best buddy. The dude basically wrecked his political career, called his wife ugly, said his Dad was a JFK killer, he almost lost his Senate Race as a Republican in Texas because even a lot of Republicans think he's a joke.

    He deserves to be mocked every time he shows his face. What a spineless little coward...and yet, he represents us because too many people in this state just look at the R and go yep, that's my guy.

    Word on the street, and many people are talking about the huge number of people who have been cured by eating jello. Nearly every person who was hospitalized and ate jello recovered. Even many people who ate jello at home recovered.

    Why isn't the president telling us about the jello cure?

    So the idiot son-in-law has been driving the bus over the cliff the entire time...

    How Jared Kushner’s Secret Testing Plan “Went Poof Into Thin Air”
    This spring, a team working under the president's son-in-law produced a plan for an aggressive, coordinated national COVID-19 response that could have brought the pandemic under control. So why did the White House spike it in favor of a shambolic 50-state response?

    Donald Trump's name will be associated with COVID-19 for the rest of history, and that's a fact.
