They seem to be very responsible people to me

Well you are responsible for them so you’re kind of right.

States with no stay at home orders are spiking the most cases. Trump supporters insist on peeing on the electric fence.

“I think we do have a sobering guidance but I think some things are too tough,” Trump said,

So saving lives is too tough?
Properly preparing for a pandemic is too tough?
Making sure the National Stockpile is full with non expired equipment is tough?

All of this is because the only thing Trump could run on is the economy. An economy that he didn’t help build. So since the country/world is shut down Trump’s only move is to kill off as many voters as he can. He knows the state Republican leaders have his back on the suppressing the vote front.

Trump is DERELICT of his DUTY as POTUS!

Furthermore, Trump is fomenting violence with his Irresponsible Tweets!

All told, Trump is a danger to Americans!

These “People who loves me” are endangering themselves and other Americans with their disregard to the high transmissibility of Covid and its morbidity rate. (Note they do not know how to spell)

It is time for these Death Cult MAGAts (recall those MAGA bombers, MAGA mass shooters) to see what happens in Covid to other people that could potentially happen to them…

An 18-year old in Italy with Covid-19…

Massgrave in Hart Island NY…(US should have all mass graves dug up in Mar-a-lago)

An ICU in Switzerland…

Meanwhile…

A summary of Trump’s job approval ratings show plummeting numbers before his call for Covid-Civil-War… Perhaps one of the reasons why Trump incited violence to shift blame and stir his base were those DECREASED approval ratings!

Addendum:

Addendum2:
#FloridaMorons is trending in Twitter…

Watch Mini-Me DeSantis put face mask sideways!

At what point do we say enough, that he’s going to get a lot of people unnecessarily killed?

It is time to call in the 25th amendment and retire this toxic citizen killing president.

Here’s Stephen Moore’s talking points on the protests:

It’s known that he has said this to reporters at the Washington Post, CBS News and the New York Times (as a minimum).

Just when you think they’ve reached the bottom of the contemptible barrel, they pull something like this out.
