It seems that Donald Trump is finally being forced to get his butt in gear in response to the massive COVID-19 outbreak that’s affecting the entire globe and rapidly spreading throughout the United States.
It’s certainly no secret that Donald took his sweet time when it came to actually acting in a way that was at all beneficial to anyone but himself and his cabinet who are holding onto the hope of another four years with a job in the White House.
But as the virus continued to infiltrate the nation, with individual areas calling a state of emergency at every turn and begging the federal government for some legitimate help, Trump finally bit the bullet yesterday afternoon and addressed the nation from the White House to announce a national emergency, finally opening up some acceptable pathways to get a handle on this thing.
This morning it seems as though Donald is taking part in some much-needed lessons that should’ve taken place months ago as he announced that he was attending some White House meetings regarding the virus.

“Attending meetings on Covid-19 in the White House. Working with States and local governments, many of whom have done a great job. Full report latter!” Trump’s first tweet read, complete with a typo.

It appears as though he was at least halfway listening during the gathering, as he tweeted again just a few moments later, “SOCIAL DISTANCING!”
SOCIAL DISTANCING!

Now don’t get me wrong, I am enormously glad that Trump has his listening ears on in these coronavirus meetings this morning.
However, it’s downright impossible to ignore the fact that Donald is screaming on Twitter and in various public speaking events about a bunch of social distance that he’s still refusing to practice himself.
In case you hadn’t heard, Trump’s very own Mar-a-Lago resort is quickly becoming a hot spot for COVID-19, dozens of his key administration officials have already self-quarantined, and Trump himself has been exposed more times than I can count.
Yet the guy continues to go around shaking hands, talking in people’s face, and even touching microphones that dozens of others would come up to touch and speak into directly behind him.
Seriously, Donald Trump has become a walking, talking coronavirus Petri dish and he still has yet to stop spreading the wealth or even agree to get tested so people can stop worrying in the privacy of their home that their dear leader just signed their death certificate.
