This is what is really odd.

If Trump had moved to stop this pandemic when he first heard about it. If he had worked on getting PPE and testing. If had really shut the borders. If he had moved to help the states. He would have won the election. Hands down.

He is so laser pointed on himself and his numbers and his greed and taking care of his grifter friends that he completely wiped himself out. He missed his big opportunity completely.

I thought Al Gore would be President in 2000; Either Al Gore or John Kerry in 2004, and Hillary Clinton in 2016. I'll believe that Mango Mussolini is gone when Joe Biden is sworn in as President in January 2021.

Edit to correct year.

when an authority figure rallies the troops, to fight what the crisis problem is. traitor trump may well have been advised of this crisis phenomenon when he let/decided to make things worse, then benefit from a bigger bump up.

He's getting even with the Democrats and if it takes out a few thousand of His Deplorables, well, " that is what it is".

I am astonished that even he didn't act like any sane person would and just do the right thing.

It was literally a gift, a chance to prove to the world that he is more than he has been all of his life.

But, no.

even means.

I heard him say one time about something that he had done that he knew it wasn't right but it worked. That's all he cares about.
