1) Trump says X.

2) People go out of their way to misinterpret X in the most negative way possible because orange man bad.

3) Invigorated with righteous indignation and a pompous air of superiority, people go on online forums, social media, and TV to express how bad orange man is. <----- YOU ARE HERE

4) Some time passes.

5) Turns out Trump was right all along and people just purposely misinterpreted and/or got overly offended at what he said.

6) Repeat ad nauseam from 2016 -> 2024.

Thus he would not blame himself for saying it will go away in April.
Blaming math is the apex of degeneracy.

we have done more tests, and likely still have a lower infection rate than many places. we also have a high death count due to probably covid deaths not getting tested and just getting flagged as covid. both of these are understandable and neither is an issue. the cases dont matter as much as the number by percent change day over day and week over week.

No mate, the apex of degeneracy is leeching off taxpayer generosity in order to devote one's life to collecting virtual trophy pixels in an online role-playing game and creepily stalking other men online.

One problem is the US is one of the most unhealthy countries in the world. You're going to have a lot of fatasses who naturally have trouble breathing being flagged as COVID victims when in reality they just died of their own obesity. Furthermore, those with underlying health issues (of which there are many) are more likely to catch and die of the virus thus inflating infection and mortality rates.

Didn’t trump say there was only one case? That it wasn’t a big problem? That this virus is a Democrat hoax? That it will go away in April? No, just wild misinterpretations I suppose

A lot of deaths for a Democrat hoax sponsored by the Chinese.

Maybe he's wrong? :mellow: Maybe it isn't a hoax afterall?

A lot of his supporters in the community say it is not real. I know a dude who has been running his mechanic shop, has done nothing to protect himself, and this is evidence that it is all fake. He also thought Barack Obama was going to take his guns.

Maybe these are fake deaths, like Sandy Hook, with crisis actors in ICUs.

I HAVE IT:

hoax by the the remaining Koch brother because he is sad conservatism has died in his lifetime and killed by Trumpism, so he engineered this hysteria to fill his war coffers to primary trump with Amash and he is going to fund the biggest war chest ever by selling more toilet paper than he ever has, because you can't wipe yournass in America without paying a Koch.

lack of testing results in covid cases bein UNDERreported, not OVERreported. just look at your excess death numbers.

trump has repeatedly suggested (and even outright stated, because he's an idiot who regularly says the quiet part out loud) that he doesn't like testing because it will 'increase his numbers', even though experts agree that testing, tracking, and tracing is the only safe way to properly 'restart' our economies right now.

The US has done the most tests

About as many as Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK combined.

I have called in the experts and they have diagnosed you with TDS.
Prognosis TBD


not even YOU can be stupid enough to genuinely think that's a good point. not only because that talking point includes all the unreliable and outright broken 'tests' that were performed, but mainly because it's just the absolute number, not tests per capita, which is something a 5th grader would be ashamed to sell as a serious 'argument'.
genuinely thinking the US are not only in a good spot when it comes to testing, but actually the leading country in the world, is the REAL derangement here, and you have a full blown case of it, WNA.

The hospitals were on their own during this crisis. Trump offered no help, hope, and he has even undermined their efforts repeatedly. Nobody in health care likes him at all. Everyone wearing the same n95 mask everyday and he is denying a shortage of equipment gtfo.

All he had to do was follow the Obama playbook not disband all the infrastructure put in place to deal with this. That hurt his narcissistic supply though.

Mike Dewine won me over though.

Are we ready for the huge spike on cases after this weekend? Things are opening and its nice out...perfect time for us to fuck up all progress we made against this disease lol.

Oh, yes the apex could also be claim to have 170 IQ while being a complete idiot or to accuse others of what you are doing...
