It's no coincidence that the worst hit states are red states and counties within them that are run by Trump allies.

So yes, you've got it right. Trump is rather unque but not alone (oh hi, Jair Bolsonero!) in his incompetence and it certainly impacts my empathy for him when hundreds of thousands of families have lost loved ones due to his incompetence and influence.

I implore you to let your political biases slide and simply criticise Trump for his mishandling of the situation rather then try to defend him out of Right Wing solidarity. This isn't an issue about left or right (although you certainly tried with your example in the post about the liberal leader), it's about who is handling the virus well and my sympathy will never be with those leaders who are not, my heart will go out only to those who have lost their lives or family due to the virus, not the people in charge who let it get this bad.
I havent defended his handling nor did I criticise other leaders who have similarly struggled to contain the pandemic. I'm not the one wishing death on people for it. My point was not trying to make it right vs left but the contrary (that there's not much correlation between political leanings and success against the virus), was just interested to see who made your list of people who's Covid policy meant they deserved death.

I hope he recovers well, I wouldn’t wish unwell on any US/U.K. politician, using your left/right wing stance or your political stance to wish death upon others is not acceptable at all and People that have these views have a very worrying and unhealthy outlook on life/politics

Much respect for joeySteele for not wishing harm on one of his political enemies, he shows a good leave of maturity and is able to seperate personal from political. People can certainly learn from him.
i would never wish death on anyone, i just myself do not sympathize for trump now, i more sympathize for Melania

politics, news has really gone backwards with the too PC culture i agree


anyway your posts Douglas +100

No it doesn't. If anything, it would mean vice versa since Biden wears a mask everywhere.

Masks don't stop YOU from catching corona.

Trump - refuses to wear a mask, doesn’t make his team or his family wear masks, refuses to socially distance, holds rallies where people are encouraged to not socially distance and not wear masks if they don’t want to - catches COVID

Biden - wears a mask everywhere, his team wears masks, he encourages his supporters to wear masks and social distance, holds socially distanced press conferences, not packed rallies due to health concerns - doesn’t catch COVID

Trumps entire ‘he looks weak and stupid in his mask!’ campaign gets washed down the drain

Funny that people think it's "Trump's fault" when actually no, it relies on others to wear masks, not him

we all know what we need to do to protect others and ourselves from covid and Trump was negligent in that encouraging others not to follow basic measures and mocking those who did follow the rules. It's negligent, and he certainly didnt help protect himself or his family

No, not at all.

But if someone constantly goes against scientific advice and uses their power and platform to mock mask wearers, doesn’t social distance, holds rallies of thousands of their cult members not social distanced or wearing masks, let’s the virus spread further as a direct consequence of their actions and then catches COVID, a virus they were calling a hoax months ago, then they are to blame.

So how many others will he have passed it to by refusing to wear one?

I hope he recovers quickly and does not get severe symptoms but sees the importance of measures put in place to protect people.

This post sums my opinions on this topic up perfectly, I hope this alerts people to the seriousness of this virus and that some good comes out of it with further awareness.

She literally said masks may stop the transf of corona, not from you actually getting it. Hence People not wearing masks have given it to trump, not due to him not wearing the mask. Whether he wore a mask or not probably would have made no difference. That is what the science has suggested so far

There is absolutely ZERO excuse for hoping Trump dies from coronavirus. It's an incredibly disturbing and vile statement to make. Again, I am not shocked with it coming from you lol
‘Stop trying to make him accountable’ he’s the ****ing President?

‘It’s an incredibly disturbing and vile statement to make’ good job that I haven’t made that statement then isn’t it? I’ve clarified in reply to Annie my feelings on the subject and that I hope he brings awareness to this virus, but carry on telling me stuff I haven’t said...

A president that routinely calls the virus a hoax, encourages people not to wear masks or social distance if they don’t want to, mocks people for following the health guidelines that keep people as safe as possible, most definitely needs to be accountable for his behaviour what people do or don’t do, as a result of it
