He's not even president anymore and you guys are still losing your minds over him.
This country is cooked if Trump is elected president in 2024.
And we are cooked if we continue to pretend the Democrats can run this Country or that the current President is competent and not corrupt.
Let's talk about Trump's competency in regard to dealing with the coronavirus:
"I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it'd be interesting to check that out - President Donald Trump.
Brilliant!
