A good last week...for Democrats

Celebrate good times come on!


 Some of the news this week was a doubled-edged sword--it was bad for the President but even worse for Americans.  Some of it was just more of the Trump administration's incompetence. Any way you slice it, politically it was a good last week for Democrats:
  • Unfortunately, the U.S. broke 100,000 COVID-19 cases on Friday for the first time--further underscoring just how bad Trump's response to the pandemic has been and continues to be.
  • After a rally in Omaha, Nebraska, Trump supporters were literally left out in the cold for four hours--the buses that transported them to the rally did not show up (rumors were it because they had not been paid by the Trump campaign) leaving hundreds of his fans to walk four miles in snow and freezing temperatures.  Six were hospitalized.
  • During a rally in Tampa, Florida, the Trump campaign apparently didn't realize that excessive heat isn't good for old people and twelve of his supporters ended up being sent to the hospital for heat exhaustion.
  • The Trump campaign put out a list of Trump accomplishments in his first term, and listed ending  the coronavirus pandemic as one of them...in the same week that cases were surging in nearly every state in the country.  It also underscored that his one accomplishment, the tax cuts, were universally despised by everyone except rich people and corporations.
  • Donald Trump, Jr. chose this week to go on TV and announce that 1000 deaths a day are "almost nothing"--a major surprise to the families of the 236,000 Americans who died because his father completely botched the pandemic response.
  • In a blow to Trump's crowing over how well the stock market has done since he became President (it's improved less than half of what it did under Obama's guidance of the economy), the stock market dropped over 1600 points this week over fears of the quickly rising coronavirus case numbers and Trump's inability to get an economic relief bill passed.
Not exactly a great closing case for Donald Trump's re-election--and for the most part, it's entirely indicative of why Trump will eventually be noted as the worst President in American history.

236,000+ Dead Americans
Fuck Donald Trump,
