Did you get your postcard today?

When I saw this, I said words that have rarely come out of my mouth.

One side: BIG, bold lettering:

President Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines for America,

On the bottom right, CDC For more information, please visit coronavirus.gov

On the reverse were the printed CDC guidelines.

Why the heck are these guidelines attributed to this jerk who has made it all worse.

What a freaking idiot!

An official document of guidelines does not need to have TRUMP on it, which is an obvious giveaway that you should ignore it.

He is always campaigning for the great day when El Presidente is installed as Dictator of Trumpmerica and then, Emperor of the World, or Planet Trump as they will call it.

Here’s what I am thinking.

I saw a poll that said R’s trust medical information from Trump way more than they trust the CDC, doctors, nurses, or anyone else.

So as much as this disgusts me, I’m glad it has his name on it because that’s the only thing that will save those knucklehead conservative’s lives, and if it saves them, it saves some of our lives too. Basically any lives saved makes me happy, conservative or liberal or no preference.

P.S. please don’t anyone be mad at me, I detest Trump and this is so typical of him, but I want every life that can possibly be saved, to be saved.

On the back was the exact opposite of everything the resident had ever said to do about the virus.

I might frame that shit.
