(269,144 posts)1. Was the golf his way of celebrating the 100,000 deaths milestone?
Remember now he said that he wore the number of persons with the virus as a badge of honor.
That fucker is pure evil.

heartless.

because he always went to golf rather than church, and now he feels emboldened.

(297,496 posts)5. Golfing & rallies are what BLOTUS was doing when he should
have been alerting the People about the CV instead of calling it a "democrat hoax".
This is why so many Americans are dead from the Virus and why it's unsafe to reopen now.
This history cannot get lost.

acknowleding that trump was criminally derelict..
This is brilliant! Should Go Viral.. would you like to make an OP out of it?
Al Gore was President in 2000 or John Kerry in 2004 or Hillary Clinton in 2016. I dont believe for one second our lives would be like they are today.
