You trump supporters never fail to amaze, by not seeing what is reported in respectable news media and many instances of which have been posted on here, so I'll give you a few clues........ 

 

– trump was ordered to pay back over $2 million to the charities that he filched that money from in order to pay his campaign bills

.

– trump has been bankrupted six times or more and in doing so has been able to circumvent the need to pay the everyday working American contractor.

 

– trump utilised illegal immigrant labour on some of his building projects and also paid them well below the going rate – – simply because he could.

 

– getting one's lawyer to pay off one of trumps extramarital affairs, is not a good look for a president.

 

– Denigrating an American war hero, Jon McCain, when trump himself dodged the draft.

 

– Denigrating a disabled reporter in front of the cameras, for a nation to see.

 

– Failing to take action in early January when the Covid 19 virus was reported as being in the USA, however he is now famous for the words, "it's just like the flu" and "we have it under control", and "by April it will go away".

 

– Then of course there is the famous quotes about grabbing women by the ........ssy.

 

I don't really need to go on because you must know about this unless, unless, unless, that is, that you are a trump supporter and can't be bothered dealing with the truth.

Funny how the truth isn't something considered worthy of dealing with by anti-Trumpers!

Anyone able to muster an iota of sympathy for that guy deserves the Nobel Price for empathy.

Certainly not going to rejoice at trump getting COVID-19, however while I do not believe in Karma, I do believe you reap as you sow.

Yep. Only 200k dead in the US. Nothing to worry about.

This pic was taken at the debate. I guess it is time for Fox News Opinion to Quarantine as well....rofl.

I'm starting to look at Kimberley Guilfoyle in a completely different light. She's right, "the best is yet to come".

[Walker88]

I believe we all know the appropriate comment at this time, as 45 gave it to us when he was asked to comment on the 200,000 Americans dead from Covid:

 

"It is what it is"

[wabothai]

The night after he received a major blow he called in sick by tweeting he tested positive. No more debates and

just before the election he miraculously recovers from covid and will come out as a hero.

Another play staged by him and his whisperer to steal the election.

Not as many as are normally killed by the flu every year, though.  Relax.

 

Bear in mind that the death numbers that you quoted are for those who tested positive for Covid-19 at the time of death and include those who would have died anyway from underlying illnesses even if they hadn't contracted the virus.  Being C-19 positive at the time of death doesn't mean that C-19 was the cause of death.

 

Relax.

There is no way in hell he didn't know beforehand that there was a problem. Hope Hicks was sick last nite on the plane. She would have been tested then. If I was at the fundraiser I would be fit to be tied. 

Bingo!

"After White House officials learned of Hicks’s symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew Thursday to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event.

The president did not wear a mask Thursday, including at the events at his golf course and on the plane, officials said"

It depends on who's lying under you. I'm sure Melania thinks it is.

The same thought also crossed my mind. So I sincerely hope he has caught the virus, and will get seriously sick without dying.

 

But I'm not convinced yet

I'm sure it would be but what's the relevance of that remark in the context of the OP?  We aren't talking about a morbidly obese person who has died as a result of contracting Covid-19.

He's not smart enough to pull that off.

If I was Trump I'd milk it for all it was worth and get the election delayed. I imagine Biden trying to push through an election against a man on a respirator would work against him big time

Relax.

Flu deaths in US since 2010 range from 12k to 61k annually. Some way short of the current covid number of 200k for a period of less than a year and has yet to include a winter season. Likely also that the flu deaths also include those who had comorbidities.

Interested in where your figures come from to back up your initial comment.

It sure matters if you're claiming that they were all killed by Covid-19 when that is far from the truth! 

 

"...try and sell that to them people who died, and their families".

No need to sell anything to the families of those with lethal illnesses pre-Covid, they will be well aware of what was really responsible for their deaths.

 

No, it doesn't. Whether Covid-19 was the sole cause of death, or whether it killed people with existing health issues that would otherwise still be alive - it doesn't matter for 200,000 dead Americans and their families. It's important for Trump and his supporters as it minimizes the crisis.

 

I doubt that you know what family members of the 200,000 Americans who died think, or where they stand on things.

Read and weep......but even trump admitting what he did was wrong won't be enough for his cult followers. You might also want to look at his list of failed businesses, but then you really will cry!!

 

Trump Ordered to Pay $2 Million to Charities for Misuse of Foundation.

 

The president admitted he had used funds raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation to promote his campaign and pay business debts.

 

A state judge ordered President Trump to pay $2 million in damages to nonprofit groups on Thursday after the president admitted misusing money raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation to promote his presidential bid, pay off business debts and purchase a portrait of himself for one of his hotels.

If that's correct I'd say criminal charges could be filed against him.

The percentage is higher with those who are in Trump's age group. His obesity, lack of exercise and propensity towards junk food are significant risks. If you think this is like the common cold, I will excuse myself and let you dwell on your ignorance.

If you think that Trump is obese perhaps you should take note of your own last sentence. 

 

What do you know about Trumps "lack of exercise" and "propensity towards junk food"?
