trump got covid

If it's not a hoax...

I think it's humorous that the person who wanted to play the situation down contracted it. Am I happy he's ill? Well... I'm of two minds over this, I strongly believe the man is mentally ill. Second, to have a physical illness.. I don't find joy in it. I do not want that type of karma. Nor do I want Pence in office.

Keep in mind, I've though this man was trash in the 80s, long before many of you were born. I could explain this but honestly I do not care to. I've said the one thing that we're guaranteed when it comes to Trump is one day he'll die just like everyone else.

And ily Ben but I'm not going to debate or go over a point by point explanation of what others feel or believe. I do not find joy in the misfortune of others unless we're talking about the shit talkers in kit.. that's something altogether different.

 

To be fair most literally everything he has done since he gave a speech to run for office in 2016 has come under fire by the same liberals and democrats that don't treat him with any respect. They don't like him, so he doesn't like them. That's just how that's worked since the beginning, but it shouldn't be this extreme. So your point of trying to achieve unity is definitely true, he should be doing that, and he's not doing anything about it because, frankly, it really isn't possible to do right now. He also doesn't care to even try at this point

 

To the people who are happy Trump got Covid: Be careful what you wish for. It is entirely possible that Trump is widely unaffected by this and that will in turn only make his stance stronger.
If you're happy that Trump has covid, you're not doing the Democrats any favors here. "Im happy that someone I strongly dislike got a potentially fatal virus" isn't exactly going to win over any voters. This is exactly why Joe Biden took the high ground in this. Biden showed sympathy towards Trump (like any morally upstanding person would), but then used it as an example of why preventive measures are important. He was compassionate and got his point across.

Yes, it is ironic that the man who consistently downplays and ignores public health experts got the virus. But that doesn't make it a good thing.

 

So I said that "."Im happy that someone I strongly dislike got a potentially fatal virus" isn't exactly going to win over any voters." And your response seems to be "ya well I really don't like him"
At no point was I defending the man. My point is that openly celebrating that Trump has Covid does absolutely nothing to help the Democrats. Democrats have a great opportunity here to say "Ya, we hate what Trump has done to this country, but we are still concerned about his health because he is still a human being."
That doesn't mean you have to vote for him, it just shows civility. This is even more important when Trump inevitably goes on some stupid tirade once he recovers from covid.

Side note, I've seen this a few times and it drives me nuts.

Look, I strongly dislike Trump, and Trump deserves a lot of criticism for how the virus was handled, but to say that Trump is somehow directly and solely responsible for every case in the US is radicicolous and, once again, something that does absolutely nothing to help the Democratic party.
4 of the top 5 states with the highest covid deaths per 100,000 people are liberal states. Are those Democratic governors responsible for the deaths in their state?
This needless finger pointing doesn't do anything. Trump did stuff wrong. Talk about how he hosted a rally where the city officials begged him to not come. Talk about how he routinely undermines medical experts. Talk about how he encourages this anti-masker bullshit. Talk about how Trump tried to force schools to reopen. Talk about how Trump suggested injecting yourself with bleach or whatever. All of these things are inarguable facts that show Trump did not handle it well.

 

Okay... I will be the asshole here because well.. I can.... the Democrat states having a higher count than Republican ones is based on a May 2020 study and that was how many months ago? I live in a Democrat state and we have a lower count. Truth is.. it's the states with the highest travel counts and bigger cities that see those travelers. Like California, Washington and New York. Ya know the Democrat lead states. Bottom line... the disease does not give a fuck what your political leaning is. Remember, critical thinking is a thing.

Edit to Add: Yes it being as bad as it is, IS Trumps fault. He pretended it was not as deadly as it is. Look at the countries in Europe after Italy had that insane outbreak. They closed the borders and self-quarantined, masked, and social distance without crying like whiney bitches about Oh no my rights... if Trump would have said.. we need to do this this and this. They would have listened to him. But he didn't. Blood is on his hands.

 

See I don't hate anyone. Wanna know why? It would cause me a lot of physical pain. Like my stomach would be on fire and my bones would feel like they were going to break. A few years ago I learned that nobody is worth the energy. Nobody is important enough for me to gaf to be that angry at.
