"SNIP....

“President Trump has publicly disengaged from the battle against the coronavirus at a moment when the disease is tearing across the United States at an alarming pace,” the AP reports.

“Trump, fresh off his reelection loss to President-elect Joe Biden, remains angry that an announcement about progress in developing a vaccine for the disease came after Election Day. And aides say the president has shown little interest in the growing crisis even as new confirmed cases are skyrocketing and hospitals intensive care units in parts of the country are nearing capacity.”

Trump only exists because he is aided and abetted by Moscow Mitch and his American hating posse in the senate.

He doesn't want to talk about it anymore. It is what it is, move on.
If you didn't want to die you should have been nicer to him.
/sarcasm, of course.

7. Trump has deserted his post in the face of the enemy

Trump himself has called Covid 19 the invisible enemy, and he's turned his back on the country as this enemy comes roaring back.

... the little bit of lip service he did give the pandemic was when it could help or stop the hurt to his reelection chances. Now that it's just a pandemic with the only upside of solving it being to other people's lives, he does and says nothing. And he not only wants 4 more years, he wants them after he lost the election and will attempt to destroy the country to do it.

11. Chump said we wouldn't hear any more about COVID come Nov. 4.

What he meant was that we wouldn't hear anything more about COVID after Nov. 4 coming from him. It was useful l to him as long as he was campaigning...after losing, not so much. He's done. He's checked out and uninterested.
