You know, somehow its cool not to wear masks. You know, donald trump mocking reporters who didnt wear masks before. I know this is supposed to shock us and shock the media. Im just grossed out. As we said in omaha, were very concerned for the people who were there, who were trying to prove a point and prove their loyalty to donald trump.

It is because of selfinflicted wounds. The president s own words coming back to haunt him. Reportedly calling americas war dead losers and suckers. And in taped conversations with bob woodward acknowledging in march how he sought to down play how lethal the coronavirus pandemic might be. While many states are seeing a decrease in cases, the number of american dead is set to surpass 200,000.
