HOW DID TRUMP DO IT?


 Easy. Early in the COVID-19 scare, Trump knew how dangerous and deadly the virus was. After all he had information others didn't. As he said to Woodward, "If it gets you, you don't have a chance." But he didn't want people to protect themselves to the detriment of his economy. So when in public or on TV, he downplayed the danger. Now the trusting public, believing him, didn't feel a great need to mask up or keep their distance. After all, the president said it was less dangerous than the flu. So they socialized and partied and went shopping and dined at restaurants. And soon many of them became ill. And nearly 200,000 of them became seriously ill. And they couldn't understand why since Trump said there was no danger. And in no time at all they found themselves in crowded hospitals with no visitors allowed. Among their many terrifying symptoms was the inability to catch their breath. And every pain was magnified by not having a loved one to hold their hand or lie and say things will work out. Then one by one they died. And each of the myriad deaths was heartbreaking to their families. But it was also disturbing to the brave nurses and doctors who so valiantly worked to keep them alive and make them well. And all over America there were thousands and thousands of unanticipated funerals and wishes that one had known the truth to avoid each death. And though this all began with Trump's "underplaying" the danger, he refused to accept any responsibility. And to this day he fails to warn fans at his ego-boosting rallies that they are exposing themselves to the same virus that has already killed so many of trusting believers.
