1. I don't think he hope for our deaths. He just simply doesn't care.

We don't exist in his world so he doesn't care about what we say or what we feel.

2. He intends to end Social Security and Medicare, so I am definitely going to die if he gets elected

WHY ARE WE NOT HAMMERING ON THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY?????
If there was ever anything just handed to us on a platter to use to win over almost everybody over 60 this is it, yet I see NOTHING.

7. I'm sure Biden will be making that point during the debates.

And I probably won't last long if Social Security, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act go away, either. I'm a 70-year-old retired man, living on Social Security, University of Missouri pension and Medicare. I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, I had a mild stroke four years ago. I do not understand how ANY older person could support that reptilian orange thing in the White House.

live in California and every single penny of my SS check goes to my rent, and it still doesn't quite cover it.
I'm type2 also, and working every day til I drop, I can't live anything close to a "normal" but extremely frugal life without income.
I've had my own business closed now since April, it's getting crazy.

3. Donald Trump only cares about Donald Trump. I'm not sure he cares about anything or anyone else

If you're going to vote the other way, he hopes you'll hold out until after Nov. 3.

6. No. He's too much of a narcissist to care at all if you specifically die.

Or if anyone else currently alive dies, with the distant possible exception of Ivanka.

I get a bit frustrated when people here say things like that. In all honesty, Trump and the Republicans do not actively wish any of us dead. They just don't care very much.

People who are sufficiently math impaired might think that if enough old people die from the Corona Virus, it will have a positive impact on Medicare and Social Security, but that is extremely, extremely unlikely. There simply aren't likely to be anywhere near enough deaths.

You and my mom both . . . she's 73.

And I hate him for that -because he's not fit to drink the dirty bath water of either one of you.
