    Very rough quote of the former “leader of the free world”, ‘stop testng for covid and we will have less cases’.

      I believe he actually said “we have so many cases because we do so much testing”. Actually I think he said them both, what I quoted and then followed with yours. What an ultra-maroon.

        He also said “stop reporting the death counts, it’s making me look bad”

        And the infamous “it’s no worse than flu, it will be gone by spring [2020]…”

        Oh and that drinking bleach would cure it.

          Yeah, my brain’s still stuck on the north Korea commemorative coins. Everything else is a blur.

          Oh right, I totally forgot about the suggestion to shine a very bright light inside the body, or use bleach. Fucking dip shit.

          He also endorsed ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, he said monoclonal antibodies were a miracle cure, he said warm weather would make COVID go away, he said COVID was a hoax by Democrats, he said one day it would miraculously disappear, he tasked his lead scientists with bringing UV light inside the body, he bragged that he would have been a great scientist because he had an uncle at MIT, he insisted on a mid-pandemic Rose Garden party were people couldn’t wear masks, he got Herman Cain killed…

          It’s just such a long list of complete idiocy.

            What, Herman Cain died!? I had either forgotten or never knew. RIP Herman, your sleazy presidential campaign ad will never be forgotten.

              There is/was a subreddit called the Herman Cain award for covidiots that died of covid after denying it or denying sensible public health measures.
