Notice By Trump Going To Mt. Rushmore For A Fireworks Display & Rally That He Will Be Visiting....

one of the last areas of the country where Covid-19 hasn't made that big an impact. That State and the surrounding States have had to deal with the least amount of the virus crisis.

Now granted - they are not as populous as most States - but shouldn't he leave those States alone and not chance taking the spread there?

We know that his supporters from the surrounding States will make the trip just to see him. Again he's putting lives in peril by his actions. I doubt that they'll be wearing masks or practicing social distancing.

Another accident waiting to happen.

He is pissed at the Native Americans for stopping his pipeline promise. He's more than happy to spread his plague there and trash their sacred land at the same time cuz that's the kind of asshole he is.

Illinois has around 15x the people and 20x the cases.
That number is not that much different than a fairly hard hit state in April & first half of May.
Perhaps North Dakota is one of the least hit states, but SD, not so much.

I recall, a few weeks ago, South Dakota being one of the new hotbeds of COVID-19 in the nation. It was hitting meat-packing plants particularly hard.

Means if you are wearing a mask, expect to be belittled, mocked, even assaulted by the cultists. They may cough and spit in your face to get their point across.

I know, that's a bit on the dark side, but if the fireworks don't start something I will be shocked. This whole idea is so reckless and stupid.
