The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump used to say that the virus affects almost no one.

Now he's concerned about losing his constituents.

Trump reportedly told donors he hopes his supporters will get vaccinated: 'We need our people'

excerpt:

"Former President Donald Trump recently told donors at a New York Republican Party fundraiser that he hopes his supporters will get vaccinated, according to The New York Times.

"We need our people," he said at the event, according to two attendees.

The former president's comments come as the US battles a new wave of coronavirus cases spurred by the highly transmissible delta variant. Health officials have characterized the current surge as a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," as inoculation rates in the country have stalled.

But even as hospitals hit capacity and deaths begin to rise, a subset of the population is vehemently rebuking proven COVID-19 mitigation methods like masks and vaccines in the name of personal freedom — including conservative radio hosts who have since died due to COVID-19."

The virus sure seems to be affecting the un-vaccinated in Idaho.

Trump won Idaho by 30% over Biden in the 2020 election.


Idaho governor redeploys National Guard, calls in federal help as COVID squeezes Idaho hospitals

excerpt:

"BOISE — Just seven weeks after the last Idaho National Guard deployment ended, Gov. Brad Little on Tuesday activated troops and called in federal personnel to help Idaho hospitals cope with a COVID-19 surge that’s filled them beyond capacity.

“On a daily call with hospitals this morning, we heard there are only four standard adult ICU beds available in the entire state,” Little said in a live-streamed video address to the state. “We are dangerously close to activating statewide crisis standards of care, a historic step that means Idahoans in need of health care could receive a lesser standard of care or may be turned away altogether. In essence, someone would have to decide who can be treated and who cannot. This affects all of us, not just patients with COVID-19.”

The governor mobilized up to 150 guardsmen to support short-staffed medical facilities across the state with tasks such as screenings, lab work and other duties. He also called in 200 privately contracted additional medical and administrative personnel to be made available to Idaho through a contract with the U.S. General Services Administration; those will be 100% federally funded."

 

Cue the pro-Trump forum trolls:

"There are still four ICU beds available in Idaho. What's the big deal?"

 

Here's a thought; that triage nurse in the ER:
"May I see your insurance card and vaccination card, please? What; no COVID vaccinations? No vent for you. Go back outside and wait in that tent we set up in the parking lot."

 

Howe about the people aren't his supporters?

Does he want them to get vaccinated, too?

Just sayin'.

 

Apparently not.
Trump's coronavirus team shied away from a national strategy, believing that the virus was hitting Democratic states hardest and that they could blame governors

>>>>>Ohio judge orders hospital to treat COVID patient with Ivermectin

So, you'll take an unproven unregulated high dosage veterinary compound used for a completely different genome of parasite, but you won't get a vaccine that is beyond any doubt apt to save your life, used on millions of people with few side effects. Did his mass hysteria introduce some hidden kind of brain damage in these people ? Parents lined their young children up for the Polio vaccine on results and faith and fear. There were no militant politicians, no protests, no death threats against doctor Jonah Salk, just kids that were dying....like now.

 

Trump is in a sticky situation.

He feels forced to tell his supporters, like right-wing fringe talk show hosts, to vaccinate themselves so that they are still alive to tell people to not vaccinate themselves.

Leave it to Trump to create such a situation.

 

Trump was blaming blue states for the COVID deaths.

Might be time for Boebert to have her own forum. What a whack job. The thing is, the only ones that listen to her and her kind are already tainted - they're not actually winning anyone over with their crazy bullshit rhetoric, but simply just beating their own chest to hear themselves talk.

 

Georgia police captain who recommended animal parasite medication as vaccine substitute dies of COVID-19

excerpt:

"Less than two weeks after promoting the anti-parasitic horse medication ivermectin as an effective COVID-19 treatment on social media, Wayne County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) Captain Joe Manning died at age 57 on Wednesday, WCSO confirmed via Facebook."

 

The situation has become increasingly bizarre in the U.S.

A judge in Ohio orders a patient to be given horse antibiotics to treat COVID.

A Georgia cop who promoted horse antibiotics to treat COVID dies of COVID.

The governor of Idaho orders the national guard to hospitals to help handle the overworked medical staff who are overrun with COVID patients.

The fringe Trump who has been instrumental in creating the anti-mask, anti-vaccine irrationalism has recently changed course and is mildly promoting vaccines to try to save his constituents (for his own self-interest).

 

What a pushover of a country for an enemy to take over.

Imagine the U.S. today faced with a situation like it was during WWII.

Republicans trying to normalize and deny Trump's insurrection at the Capitol. Remarks by Matt Gaetz, Ron Johnson, Paul Gosar, Andrew Clyde, and Mitch McConnell.

 

Clyde said that there was no insurrection.

26:50 in video:

Clyde was inside the House chamber and helped police barricade an entrance door whose glass had been smashed by Trump's rioters. Police were pointing guns at rioters just outside the door who saw them inside. One rioter was looking right into the barrel of the gun and calling the police traitors.

 

Capitol riot inquiry to investigate whether Trump’s White House was involved in attack

excerpt:

"In letters to the National Archives and seven other agencies including the justice department and FBI, Thompson said House select committee investigators were seeking documents and communications from the previous administration related to 6 January.

But in a notable additional request, Thompson also demanded communications of White House personnel and members of Congress that referred to attacks on the Capitol – on both the day of the insurrection as well as key dates before.

“Our constitution provides for a peaceful transfer of power, and this investigation seeks to evaluate threats to that process, identify lessons learned,” Thompson said in the letters.

The expansion of the dragnet to include 5 January is significant, the source said, since it raises the specter of the committee prying open a window into what Trump and his top allies were thinking and doing the day before the Capitol attack."

 

Ron Johnson defended Trump's riot at the Capitol and said he wasn't concerned because Trump's people respected law enforcement and wouldn't do anything to break the law.

 

Sen. Ron Johnson Caught on Hidden Camera Blaming Trump for 2020 Defeat

excerpt:

"It’s a good thing that Donald Trump takes constructive criticism so well. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), one of Trump’s most loyal allies in Congress, has been caught on camera blaming the ex-president for his election defeat. Johnson made the frank admission to a liberal activist who pretended to be a conservative while she chatted with the senator at a Milwaukee GOP event. The activist pretended she believed the conspiracy theory that voter fraud was to blame for Trump’s defeat in Wisconsin, but Johnson said he disagreed. “There’s nothing obviously skewed about the results,” he said in the footage. “If all the Republicans voted for Trump the way they voted for the Assembly candidates, he would have won. He didn’t get 51,000 votes that other Republicans got, and that’s why he lost.”"
