He claimed that the coronavirus “is a ploy cooked up by the Democrats to stop Donald Trump from rallying his supporters at campaign events.”
The story, Eric Trump Claims COVID-19 Will ‘Magically’ Vanish After Election Day is on the Huff Post:
“They think they’re taking away Donald Trump’s greatest tool, which is to go into an arena and fill it with 50,000 people every time.” (Trump has rarely, if ever, attracted a crowed of 50,000, despite repeated claims that he has.)
“You watch,” Eric added. “They will milk it every single day between now and November 3rd.”
“And guess what – after November 3rd, coronavirus will magically, all of the sudden, go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen.”
It is hard to comment on such genus but I will give it a try.
Trumpists appear like lemmings, like in the popular myth, jump off of cliffs committing mass suicide. While this myth has been debunked, (For the 1958 Disney nature film White Wilderness, filmmakers eager for dramatic footage staged a lemming death plunge, pushing dozens of lemmings off a cliff while cameras were rolling) Trumpists seem to have a death wish of their own.
Polling has consistently showing that less than 25% of the population wants to open the country, now, Trumpists insist, the other, and they will shoot you if you don’t agree.
They insist on no mask, no distancing, even at their own peril. Let’s see how it is working out:
Good Morning America reports: Coronavirus updates: Texas reports single highest daily rate increase of infections
The latest number of of coronavirus cases in Texas jumped by 1,801 in a single day, the highest daily rate since the state started tracking data. The number of cases reported now stands at 46,999, according to the latest figures released by Johns Hopkins University.
Then there is this: Over 180 church goers told to self-quarantine after attendee at Mother's Day service tests positive for COVID-19
More than 180 church goers were told to self-quarantine after attending a Mother’s Day service in northern California where at least one person tested positive for COVID-19.
The church was in violation of the stay-at-home order California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued on March 19, which prohibits large public gatherings. Butte County Public Health officials said ignoring the state order could lead to “more restrictive measures” as the virus continues to spread in California.
I’m sure there are more stories of heroism, but loyalist Trumpist Governors refuse to release data, because, why???
Just when you thought it was safe to go on social media, the New York Times published this: Donald Trump Jr. Smears Biden With Baseless Instagram Post
President Trump’s eldest son on Saturday posted a social media message suggesting Joseph R. Biden Jr. was a pedophile, an incendiary and baseless charge that illustrates the tactics the president is turning to as he attempts to erase Mr. Biden’s early advantage in key state polls.
Donald Trump Jr., who is one of his father’s most prominent campaign surrogates, put on Instagram a picture of Mr. Biden saying: “See you later, alligator” alongside an image of an alligator saying: “In a while, pedophile.”
Of course he rebutted it was only a joke. The joke is Trump and his addled family.
So, I say, hold your rallies. Forbid the wearing of masks. Huddle into the tightest spaces possible.
Let’s take it one step further, as we are officially a tribal nation, let’s have Trumpist only restaurants and bars. Hell, their own businesses.
Let’s prove the lemming myth right...
