Personally I would have targeted COVID-19, but it's better than nothing, I guess.

Trump's ongoing bungling of the pandemic and the failed economy (for all but his fellow 'elite') that resulted from his inept leadership has caused more harm to the US than anything done by any modern politician. Maybe any politician ever.

70,000 new infections yesterday. 829 deaths. 1224 the day before.
The worst is not over, not by a long way.
The virus didn't magically disappear.
It wasn't over by Easter.
There wasn't a vaccine by the end of October.
And "opening up" by gun wielding thugs only spread the virus.
And all along Trump new exactly how serious this was and he lied about it to the American people.
Thank goodness he is on his way out.

So where will Trump's next superspreader event be?

No. I’m saying there was no travel ban from China in January. Look it up.

Remember your dozens and dozens of posts about Obama adding to the national debt? Trump will be close to adding more in 4 years than Obama in 8 years.
Guess it wasn't a big deal to you after all if you are still voting for Trump. What a waste of time your comments were.

Literally in the article you are commenting on
But he won't need to do any of that anyway, right? The corner has been turned and and the pandemic wil end soon accoring to Trump.
Trump has turned so many COVID corners he must feel like he is in some kind of infernal maze.

Is that why Ice Cube announced he doesn’t support Trump?

Turning a corner and walking into oncoming traffic...

Trump promises the pandemic will end soon.
Just like he promises he'll reveal his health plan in two week's time.
Or like how he promises he'll make public his tax returns.
Biden was right to laugh in his face in the debate this week when the child talked about his taxes.
Trump, you ain't going to Scotland or Moscow. It's jail time next year.

It’s hard to believe anyone could still be stupid enough to believe the virus is just going away, when trump has been saying that since there were only cases in the teens, and it’s only gone up consistently since then.
Talk about delusion.

Trump promised that Mexico would pay for the wall, that he'd release his tax returns, that Hillary would be "locked up", that he sign a Trump health care plan in two weeks (on Jul 19th), and to be faithful to Ivana, Marla, Melania...
A Trump promise is as good as a share of Trump Airlines stock...or a diploma from Trump U...or a chip from the Trump Taj Mahal Atlantic City Casino and Resort....etc., etc.....

They should put Trump's Promises on toilet paper dispensers. That's about what Trump's promises are worth.
Abraham Lincoln?! Honest Abe my a$$!

Biden can sweep out the governance issues but the nation will still be stuck with the stupids.
ClippetyClop
You were saying a few days ago he 'banned' travel. Now it was merely 'restricted'. What happened?
It's well on track for that number. Maybe after that the bleach starts to help us turn the corner.

Must be nice to spread lies to people who don't have the spine to challenge you.
Bob Fosse
Ouch...lol
Toasted Heretic
Back in April, wasn't it?
It's interesting, all the lies, posturing and empty promises that he thinks the electorate will just miraculously forget when they cast their votes.
He's done for. Politically and in regards to credibility. Although, it's debatable he ever possessed any of the latter, in the first place.

If Daddy says it's all going to get better then we believe him, right?
Bob Fosse
Nobody said they want that, No One!
ClippetyClop
Lol, you should trademark that kind of logic!
The more people catch it, the more will recover. And die too of course.
Conservatives want the virus to go away but don’t want to do anything that would help it too. Even wearing a mask is too much for them.
But soon they will be gone (like the virus?)
Bob Fosse
Still repeating that fake news?
Simon Foston
Doesn't sound like a very smart thing to promise.

The polls are not going to be accurate because the US has a lot of undercover racists and bigots. They will be too shy or in denial to admit the real reasons why they support trump. One of this countries underlying values is prejudice.
Add on top that trump is a criminal/con man who is desperate to win to avoid jail time and use his position to pay off his 400 million dollar debt from Russian oligarchs, he is openly trying to cheat to win with even more "deplorables" working behind the scenes.
I am not sure who will at this point despite many voters coming this election and many people who voted for trump the first time switching.
I do hope he loses!

Trump could not even protect his family, while they are most guarded people in the world, he could save himself or family from the ravage of the virus, oh Please
u_s__reamer
Covid-10? Just a "senior moment" of no import. Biden's team will accomplish the task that the clueless Trump and his corrupt confederates weren't up to. Next year, after draining the swamp, "the Yanks are coming" with a real plan to kick Covid's *ss.
Bob Fosse
But Americans are so tired of the fake news pandemic and all those idiots saying masks this, masks that. It’s just not fair! Can’t somebody just give them some good news for a change? Can’t we still dream a little dream!?

lol Biden is going to send social workers to de-escalate the virus. In fact, he might even ask the medical staff to shoot the virus in its leg.

Biden blasts his handling of crisis
As if Biden would have handled it any better. He wouldn't have restricted travel from China in January as Trump did.
Opinion polls show him trailing Biden both nationally
His rallies show him beating the pants off Biden's appearances.
Trump could not even protect his family
42 million people around the world have contracted the virus. Nobody protected them either. Jeez...
Thank goodness he ( Trump ) is on his way out.
He's going to win in a landslide.

Still repeating that fake news?
You're saying Biden would have restricted travel from China in Jan.? After his whining about Trump the next day?

Biden has been that all of his political life and now we are learning he was far worse than previously thought and I thought Ted Kennedy was the worst.
Nope, they won’t forget especially when they look at the economy as well as the black community. 50 Cent and ICE Cube definitely think so.
No, polls are too close and when you’re the challenger, that’s not good.
NOMINATION
A vote for Biden is a vote for the support of KKK, segregation and mass incarceration of African Americans and Numan voted for......drum roll.......
bass4funk
Biden also said, if need be, he would lock the country down again if the medical experts advise it. Not a lot of people are happy with that. It didn’t help at all
bass4funk
Looking at the rising numbers and according to Dems preaching to the country non-stop we need to listen to the experts, Biden would close the country down, no one wants that, No One!
More and more people are recovering, so we don’t need lockdowns anymore, but Biden wants it closed. Trump wants people to get back to work, I agree.
What?
