BREAKING: Donald Trump Tests Positive for Coronavirus
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19. The pair likely got it from White House aide Hope Hicks and it’s possible more people in the President’s inner circle have been infected. Trump is believed to have mild symptoms including fatigue and a raspy voice. The White House will need to go on lockdown and contact trace extensively. There is even the possibility that Joe Biden caught the virus from Trump during their first debate Tuesday night. There is no telling how this will affect the presidential race which concludes in only a month.
Some on Twitter are celebrating the news, believing that Trump deserves to contract the virus because he was careless about containing it in the United States. This is the wrong approach for progressives to take. We should not be wishing anyone gets sick and indeed it’s not even clear this will hurt Trump’s reelection odds. Let’s hope the President makes a full and speedy recovery and that he then gets destroyed in an historic landslide on November 3rd.
Biden Raises $10 Million During Trump Debate
Tuesday night’s presidential debate was such a disgrace to the United States and made Donald Trump look so bad that it resulted in a massive fundraising haul for the Joe Biden campaign. Biden raised $10 million during the 90-minute debate with Trump. Trump’s recent fundraising numbers haven’t been released yet but it’s hard to believe he pulled in that amount. Donations don’t guarantee anything but they give campaigns the resources to help them win. The fact Biden was able to raise so much in such little time is a great sign of optimism for the Biden team.
There’s no question that the United States has a broken campaign finance system. If Biden wins and Democrats take control of the Senate, they need to make campaign finance reform a top priority. For the next thirty-two days however, this is the system that we have and these are the rules we have to play by. Biden raising this much money will help him going forward and it is a sign that people will do what it takes to get Trump out of office.
From yesterday’s show:
Kamala SHREDS Trump in Takedown Over Taxes
Kamala Harris went on MSNBC and schooled Donald Trump over his debts as revealed by the New York Times tax return story. Harris asked who Trump owes his millions to and questioned whether he is putting his creditors’ interests over those of the American people. This is a very effective line of questioning and something we have been asking all week and during the entire Trump presidency. Kamala Harris is likely to take Mike Pence to task on this in next week’s vice presidential debate.

I believe that you have failed to put our crackhead president’s getting COVID-19 in the proper context. Perhaps if you, like me, lost a family member because of DJT‘s deliberate withholding of the seriousness of COVID-19 from the American people you might have a different view. What DJT has done is an act of genocide on the American people. Get real folks. Even without having COVID-19 this subhuman being who somehow got to be president is a very sick man. He doesn’t care at all about how many people die from COVID-19, never has and never will. He has spent nearly 4 years turning America into a near failed state while the entire world looks on in shock and disbelief. Even if DJT died of COVID-19 it wouldn’t be justice. But it would certainly be his fault. Your opinion has Nancy Pelosi written all over it.
Democrats have to be very careful and make sure that he does not benefit from this. That is to say, we have to remember what he said and how he didn't take this thing seriously.Because of that lame and unbelievable response far too many people have died. I wish he and the first lady- and, all those around them - a speedy recovery. However, at the same time, we cannot dismiss what lengths he will go to to remain in office. Sick or not, we are dealing with a snake! We must be sympathetic but not stupid!
