Trump’s new home state Florida - reported more than 11,000 Covid cases on July 4th!

Freedumb rings loudly with DeSantis for being such a BIGLY Mini-Trump!

Addendum:

Gallows humor

Addendum2:

On a more serious note:

As we celebrate America’s Independence Day, let us also remember the 129,601 Americans who lost their lives to Covid and the US soldiers who lost their lives to Russian Bounty, some of which were avoidable if not for Trumpian Exceptionalism at denials, delays, and utter disregard of American lives (civilian or military)!

Addendum3:

Kanye West said he will run for president in 2020.

In March of this year, we learned what BIGLY LIARS Kanye/Kim about Taylor Swift, notwithstanding we all know that Kanye is a BIGLY MAGA hat wearing Trump supporter who was Trump’s beard at Trump Tower in Dec 2016 while Kushner talked to Russian banker.

I’m NOT wearing a MAGA hat…
So it’s seems highly improbable that Kanye is there to “fight for the presidency” with Trump,
He is there to takeaway the African American and younger votes from Biden!

It also seems unlikely that Kanye is a “Manchurian Candidate”,
It’s highly probable that he is a “Trumpian Candidate” or another “Russian Candidate”…
So when did have dinner with Putin?

And the new message is suck it up. I don’t think that’s going to play very well as we hit 3 million cases – oh and as the lagging death indicators start rolling in.

“If we didn’t test so much and so successfully, we would have very few cases,” Trump said, adding that the United States’ “success” in testing “gives the Fake News Media all they want, CASES.”

Why is dumb-dump still competing for the title of of dumbest president? He won the title three years ago.

Trump is slipping into Three Stooges territory.

I just heard that Trump Jr and his infected girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle are driving from South Dakota to New York or Washington or whereever. Nothing like a super spreader road trip.

Their on the road to perdition.

So as the deaths begin to rise in some states next week, he will say they are still going down in more states, so that is a big win! In three weeks when they are going up in most states he will point to the fact that more people who test positive are surviving than in the past.

It is a shell game he will continue playing until either he gets COVID, he leaves the White House, or there is a vaccine. The man is nothing if not full of hot air, like the blast wave of a nuclear bomb.

That likely means going around the south end of Lake Michigan.

Time to alert Governor Pritzker and Mayor Lightfoot so they can stop them and put them in quarantine for at least 114 days.

If there were no cases, like Trump said would happen, there would be no positive tests no matter how many are conducted.

“If we didn’t test so much and so successfully, we would have very few cases,”

Yes, every physician and scientist knows that tests are what give people a communicable disease. We only thought that the rampant epidemic was attributable to a incompetent president who refuses to perform even the most minimal duties of his office.

DeSantis is still fiddling as Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville have joined Miami and Trump’s hometown West Palm as hotspots. The stubborn stupid is strong in Ron.
