While a good portion of the U.S. population is self-isolating to help flatten the coronavirus curve, Donald Trump seems dead set on easing the practice of social distancing to open the economy back up. Of course, that would be in direct contrast to what experts are advising, but Trump is more concerned with boosting his chances of being reelected. Despite health officials’ warnings, Trump said this week that he wants the U.S. “opened up” by Easter amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has now killed over one thousand Americans. And of course, there’s a financial benefit for Trump to end social distancing.
Mickael Damelincourt, the manger of Trump’s Washington, D.C. hotel, announced on Twitter that he will host a “HUGE” celebration in a few weeks. Damelincourt added at the end of the video clip, “Be safe, we love you.”

No wonder he wants to lift the lid. Such a greedy man and his family. Shame on you all.

Please, let them all go. Please make a special exception and let all these people get together in one place. Immediately afterward, please hold a huge Republican fundraiser here…like a 72 hour celebration in the exact same spot.

Can we raise money to pay for all GOP Senators and right wing trump voters who refuse to obey social distancing guidelines to all attend this together?

Our ignorant, self-aggrandizing, incompetent, foolish president is putting Americans’ lives in danger while his job is to keep us safe. Trump supporters really have become a death cult.
