Over 7,000 US troops died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump is on track to lose that many (more) of US

citizens, in a matter of months.

The Italian Death Toll now stands at 6,077 deaths this morning...and Italy are in lockdown, a population SIX times smaller than the U.S.


The big difference is that they can hide the body bags when they arrive back in the US, Trump may be able to hide how serious the CV is, by blocking the testing, but he can't hide Grandma and Grandpa dying in every town in America, and he sure as hell can't hide the local Funeral Director telling the families that so many are dying, that they can't bury their family member for days/weeks.

Reality is going to overtake Trump's perception of fake reality.

1. On the other hand do you know how many Iraqis were slaughtered in that illegal invasion

and occupation. What's more Bush's supporters and many hacks in the media did not give a flying fuck.

2. All true, but when Granny and Grandpa start needlessly dying, while little Jimmy with an

underlying illness dies too, it's then that it will hit home. After all, those deaths are far away, these deaths are near (to paraphrase Fr Ted). Still, I'm sure the families will be reassured that the economy will be saved.....

3. That is my thinking too although other DUers have me

wondering if many won't give a flying fuck

4. I think the scale of what's coming is going to make it a tsunami of death, when the deaths start to

explode. I would ask people, what makes the US so different to what is going on in Italy ?

5. Scarborough just said the same thing, that the numbers are going to be so bad in the coming weeks

that it will overtake any bullshit stand Trump has now.

That has been my position - we'll see
