    I held the possibility that he just weren’t informed (that he was simply stupid or ill informed). From that audio clip, and his admission later, he has admitted that he knew how deadly this virus could be and yet he lied about it, saying it would just vanish, it’s just like the flu, it’s a hoax. He knowingly lied.

    If you are lied to intentionally, and you accept it, allow it, rationalize it away, what does that mean you are as a person?

    You'd have to be a really horrible person to vote for him after that. He killed Americans by the thousands by trying to make them think they wouldn't die from this. They are still following that attitude. No person with any sense of humanity or moral compass would vote for him. No way.

    I knew Trump was lying to cover stuff up from the start. The virus wasn't killing thousands in Italy because it wasn't deadly. Honestly, anyone should have known better, and still should.

    The Problem is he is still doing this, making it seem fine to be out and maskless, and is doing NOTHING to stop it. He doesn't condone it, and actually encourages it as a sign of Trump unity. If this isn't reason enough to kick him out of the White House right now, then what is? Even all the serial killers and terrorists in history haven't killed as many Americans as he has. He's pure evil. Lies lies lies, Money and Power, lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

    He easily scores as a psychopath, if you look at the criteria on the standard DSM test (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). How is he deemed fit to serve our country? Seriously, how is that possible? Can't he be forced to have a psychological exam by more than one doctor? This would certainly happen in the military, and this man is their Commander in Chief. Somebody tell me how this is possible. How is he considered fit for duty, as we say in the military?

    I'm beginning to believe that the line between normal IQ and Intellectual Disability is scored by being Pro-Trump or against Trump. Nobody gathered at his Maskless rallies can possibly have an IQ above the line.

    trumps own words undermine the 'no big deal' argument..

    trump really thinks he is some kind of patriarch and that it was going to go away.

    i have had a ticket or obligation ive put off before and he had a chance to lead or play some sort of padre don trump to us 'what we dont know wont hurt us'
    this is one of those smarter than you think you are outsmart yourself. he says it himself 5% vs 1% than flu..deadly..airborne ...its like all there most coherent Ive ever heard. but like bill obrien lets just trade hopkins.

    in trump case lets sleep through february and turn it into something political? what a strange move but more than anything its apathy...rookie..lack of leadership or administration

    That’s a solid question and something that has to be asked of all of the authors that are only coming forward with information after writing a book.

    I agree. It also needs to be asked of every single Trump loyalist and backer and the GOP. I am voting straight ticket Democrat for that reason. They all have blood on their hands, and they are all swimming in the swamp of deceipt and corruption right along with Trump. Well, he probably isn't swimming actually. I picture him more like floating and gasping for air.

    As the person that started this thread, I knew this timeline would be important. I encourage you guys to go back and read the first post once every month or two as a reminder.


    Honestly, I'm not shocked by these tapes. What I am shocked at is that there are still people willing to vote for this man, and that, in many cases, they are some of the most vulnerable to Covid-19 (at least the Trump voters I know).


    And here's another one: don't be shocked when the proof starts coming out that Russia is gaslighting the rioting and BLM vs. ultra right stuff. Everybody just needs to meet in the middle here, folks.

    Kudos, and good reminder to look at the OP. What is perhaps most amazing is after all that has happened, and all that we know now and found out this week... people still defend him, what he did, and what he has done the whole time. That to me is the real horror in all this.

    Only the second time Time Magazine has used a black border (the only other time... 9/11).
