Look at the bright side, we might get another moment with Trump outside a hospital gasping for breath.

Shades of 2020. Déjà vu, only this time far worse.

A new pandemic on top of the CURRENT pandemic?! This should be fun... 🙃🙃

I also expect RFK to cause terrible developments regarding measles and polio.

2025 will be giving 2020 all over again, except somehow possibly even worse.

2016: Obama's administration prepared a pandemic response plan -- a "playbook" -- before leaving office and presented it to Trump's administration.

2020: Trump stood in front of the nation and said:
“It snuck up on us.” Later, during a White House press briefing, Trump added that Covid-19 was “a very unforeseen thing.”

You will end up with diptheria, measles, mumps and polio pandemics if rfk gets his way.

[terrancekayton]

Notice how no one with any knowledge. Expertise . Credentials, Credibility. Experience. Character. Moral compass is being chosen for the Trump cabinet and all those that do have those qualities are running for the road. America is supposed to feel safe with these people running the show. Laughable…of if I was overseas, somewhere.

To summarize this almost 17 minute video in two words: "We're fucked".
