“Is it something that people are talking about very strongly? We’ll look at it,” Trump told a reporter at the time. “We’ll look at it.”
I’ll take the guy that goes to the experts to advise him during the raging pandemic, and is now backed by eighty-one Nobel Prize winners, over the dangerous ghoul currently occupying the White House.
