Whether or not Trump lives through his illness is up to him, medicine and luck. I am not wishing

him to die, but A couple of painful weeks on a respirator would be sufficient punishment for a person who literally has never been in discomfort his entire life. And it will give him a glimpse of what more than 200,000 American citizens had to go through, mostly due to his negligence, lies and ignorance.

I think one big plus to him not pulling through would be stifling all the right wing militia nuts threatening violence if Trump loses the election, or what troubles they may cause for voters on election day. Without their dear leader, most will crawl back under their rocks and keep their cockeyed views of America to themselves again. Trump has done nothing but incite and encourage these dregs for three and a half years. They know any one else running the country will not molly coddle them like he has and will have no choice but to retreat back into the shadows.

It REALLY pisses me off to know his entourage has the run of Walter Reed while Vets there are saying goodby to their children, parents and spouses via zoom.

7.5 million cases total in the U.S. (probably grossly undercounted). They ratfucked the data so it’s next to impossible to tell.
