    Trump almost died from Covid.

    Hates Covid vaccine

    Trump almost shot twice.

    Still hates gun control.

      I’m wagering this is just pandering, not that he’s actually a vaccine skeptic.

      Think something like Cucker Tarlson who (while talking up how dangerous the covid vaccine was (just asking questions and such)) almost definitely got one.

        It doesn’t matter if it’s pandering or they know it’s a lie if they then turn the lie into policy. The rest of us take the risk of death from it just the same

          Only The Leader can be perfect.

          All scientists, doctors, and college professors need to shut up and listen to the wise and practial Leader.

        They count on you using your energy to do that math for them - why do you need to? Just don’t.

        Why not just believe him. He’s a fucking idiot, who (at best) doesn’t have a firm, established position on a key, fundamental part of human life into his 60s. That’s not a serious person, it’s an ignorant person at best, someone who will shift on major positions in exchange for power at worst - either way he shouldn’t be within the proximity of power.

      He does not hate gun control. He talks like he does, but is more of a gun grabber than Obama was.

      Liking guns comes second to hypocrisy in modern conservative ideology.

        The Texas State Fair wanted to have a gun free event. Politicians instantly attacked that unAmerican behavior.

        Same pols had no problem with their events being gun free.
