I honestly don't know what will happen next. But, I am extremely disappointed in a lot of people for the mean-spirited assholery of wishing death upon him. No matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, that's in extremely poor taste. Ironically, it comes mostly from those who routinely scream their heads off about how morally superior they are and how they care about everyone. 🙄 Pick one, you can't have both.
Sure you can. Being mean to someone because of their race, gender, or religion is not the same as being mean to someone because they’re a rapist, racist, and bigot. One is punching down, the other is punching up. Punching up is always better than punching down. Would you go to a playground and lecture the victim when they finally stand up to their bully? I’d sure hope not.
I don’t really care what happens to him one way or the other, I’m not hoping for his death nor am I hoping for his recovery, and I personally would never celebrate anyone’s death - I thought the mass celebrations after Osama Bin Laden’s death were pretty cringe worthy, personally, it just seems like bad karma to me - but I get how other people might feel differently and these lectures about how people should respond to the illness of somebody who has harmed millions of people are pretty cringe worthy too, IMO. Reminds me of the “intolerant left” nonsense from people who don’t understand that tolerance doesn’t mean tolerating the intolerance of others.
How are these people who are wishing Trump dead his "victims"? It is mostly well off college students who have always lived off of Mommy and Daddy's money, people who want socialism because they want something for nothing and being able to lay on their ass all day without a job sounds appealing (exactly why they wanted to continue the shutdown and ridiculously high unemployment), or people who have made horrible life decisions and want to point the blame at anyone else but themselves (and usually blame it on capitalism). Literally every single person I've seen say this that I've personally known falls into one of these categories, and has not been "personally victimized" by him (or anyone but themselves, for that matter). The bully analogy does not apply here, and cowardly laughing and wishing death upon someone from behind a screen is hardly "standing up against your bully".
It is beyond hypocritical to shout off the mountaintops that you love everyone, are morally superior to everyone, and that "we need to take every measure we can even if it saves just one life", and then turn around and laugh about someone becoming ill and hope they die. If you're truly "morally superior", you will know that stooping to the level of someone you believe is a bad person is not necessary.
People are always full of excuses and using any type of mental gymnastics they can to justify their hypocritical behavior, though.
"Treat others as you would like to be treated" does not translate into "treat others like crap if they treat you like crap".
Last I checked, he never wished death upon anyone, either.
I also stand by my point that you can't call yourself a "loving and caring" person and claim you're morally superior and then laugh and wish someone dead.
But, people are always full of excuses and using mental gymnastics to prove why it's okay *for them*. "Do as I say, not as I do". If the parties were reversed, there would be an absolute outrage.
He's called my fellow countrymen..drug traffickers, rapist and killer...he seprated innocent children from thier parents...I stand where I stand...as far as I'm concernend the little bitch can die. Case closed...hate on me I don't give a D...😝
It's a free country as far as I know and I have freedom of speach...(hopefully still).
Yes, you do have the freedom to wish that, thankfully. But, I hope you aren't one of the people I speak of, who also claims to be "caring and loving", and pretends to value every life, either.
I'm convinced that the world would be noticeably improved by the death of a few people, but Trump isn't on that list.
I wish something much worse for him:
Trump has always defined his value as a person by his monetary worth. There's plenty of firm evidence that his finances are currently in a dire state and only going to get worse. Credible financial analysts are convinced that his poor investment decisions, his ability to bullshit lenders into loaning him money without due diligence into the true value of his assets, the huge impact of covid on hotels and golf resorts, plus the way he has made his own brand toxic to many individuals and corporations all mean he's heading for a financial black-hole.
He's been there before, of course, and he's never hesitated to declare bankruptcy so he can scuttle off in search of a new scam. But this time, his profile is much higher than when he was screwing over people in New York, ripping off the few people gullible and desperate enough to pay for his bogus university or blowing off those who he'd persuaded to loan him money for his casinos and his airline. His fall next time is going to be much bigger news, and the media won't feel obliged to pick up all his deranged, self-justifying tweets when he's no longer the president.
It is clear that Trump has a rare talent for denying reality, but I suspect he is going to find that humiliating and therefore enraging. It's a stretch, but he might even be forced to confront the fact that he's always been crap at business, and that would have to be devastating for him.
Add to that the investigations by the New York Attorney General (and possible Grand Jury investigations in other jurisdictions), and it seems very likely that Trump's future once he leaves the White House is not going to be enjoyable. I'm sure it's also going to be very difficult for his family and whichever few flunkies are stupid enough to stick with him out of misguided loyalty, but I have no more sympathy for them than I do for the pathetic, deluded, nasty man himself.
Trump has Coronavirus. What happens next?

Oh, please. 🙄

My 3rd grade teacher told us..."treat other as you want to be treated". Trump treated people like crap he will be treated like crap.
