The Daily Show put out a fake trailer depicting Donald Trump’s pandemic response, and it’s very funny. But since we are all feeling a little less humored by things right now, a group called Fellow Americans put together a simpler, more somber video. That video and its message is getting shared far and wide—for good reason, as it illustrates how truly negligent our incompetent criminal of a president has been when it comes to COVID-19, aka the coronavirus. The video uses audio of Trump’s statements to the American people about the virus while also chronicling the exponentially increasing numbers of officially reported cases in the United States.
It covers Trump saying that the coronavirus is the new Democratic Party “hoax” to get him out of office, all the way through to him talking about how the virus will disappear by April. If you want to see how Trump’s statements and handling of this pandemic really look, all written out, you can check out Hunter’s breakdown from Monday. WARNING: It’s exactly as infuriating and frustrating and depressing as you think.
