🔻 Trump should tweet: “I can’t breathe .... it feels like I have a knee on my neck ... help me Mama!” 🔺

[mariawelling]

He always likes to keep the focus on himself...Deflection comes to mind...

[tillanienaber]

It should not be left up to Trump to decide about handing over power as he is delirious half the time in any event.

Now y'all wanna talk about The constitution! Wow

Just because he got on the chopper doesn't mean he was doing good either and was just doing it for show.. I know this because I survived two heart attacks last Aug 2019 two and a half weeks apart... One was blockage other arrhythmia . I opened my gates up before the EMTs came and walked to the stretcher in my driveway when they came... because I didn't pass out but was in bad shape in need of treatment.. ended up being intubated on ventilator for almost 4 days along with a balloon heart assist pump for 5 days .. so trump walking to the chopper doesn't mean is was doing fine he could have been feeling very sick but wasn't showing it in public

[lizafrench]

wow good job on actual relevant news. bravo

[hazelem]

Corona- I’ve given you a lot of time to acknowledge me, now you must feel.

[mrs.sherry]

[liliththefirst]

Two co-workers were recently I diagnosed. I had been around them, they weren't wearing masks. Luckily, I'm 6'4" and they were on their knees working on equipment. I left the area. Next I heard, they'd been diagnosed with COV19.
