Why Donald Trump cannot be elected to anything. He said about Covid Pandemic, "It's all a hoax."

...If/when Trump runs again for anything, that quote will be replayed hundreds if not thousands of times. The big
money people in the Republican Party know it, I know it and you know it. So, imagine if you can, seeing that
quote thousands of times by millions of people all across the U.S.A. Yes, Trump said it, and he believed it at that
moment. His judgement at that moment killed people.
...And if you don't think that our side will use every tool/instrument against Trump, well you don't know what
the pros in the Democratic Party think of him. That is my opinion, and I will not change it.

basic premise of that quip -- namely that Covid was not as big of a deal as it was made out to be and the measures to mitigate it were overly onerous.

And you don't need to convince me that that is bullshit. It is.

But for that soundbite to be a magically effective millstone around TFG's neck, in the next two years you need to flip the opinions of people who have spent the last 3 years digging in to defend that exact position. Not gonna happen.
