Trump was bragging today that only killing 100k to 200k Americans in the next 3-4 months would show he did a great job. Hell it took 16 years to kill 58,220 Americans in Vietnam. Enthusiasm is overrated. Determination is what’s needed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
