Eric Trump Claims COVID-19 Will 'Magically' Vanish After Election Day

Source: huff post



05/17/2020 01:24 am ET Updated 1 hour ago

His theory runs counter to experts’ predictions that a second wave next winter might be even worse.

........................

He claimed that the coronavirus that has killed 312,000 people around the globe — including nearly 90,000 Americans — is a ploy cooked up by the Democrats to stop Donald Trump from rallying his supporters at campaign events.
............................

“They think they’re taking away Donald Trump’s greatest tool, which is to go into an arena and fill it with 50,000 people every time.” (Trump has rarely, if ever, attracted a crowed of 50,000, despite repeated claims that he has.)

“You watch,” Eric added. “They will milk it every single day between now and November 3rd.”

“And guess what – after November 3rd, coronavirus will magically, all of the sudden, go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen.”

He called it a “very cognizant strategy.”

should magically disappear. His wife, Duck Lips Lara gets paid $15,000 a MONTH by the donors to the tRump campaign. Also, Don Jr.'s "girlfriend" is paid $15,000 the same way. Seems the tRump males like women who MUST be paid to socialize with them, unless these are the only types who will? When will donors wise up and stop donating to this travelling whore-house show? We ALL know Mrs. tRump has to be paid since she can barely conceal her disgust with the orange ass. She has probably been drawing a paycheck from day one. Why would a so-called "wealthy family" need to steal from a campaign to pay their escorts?

I want to see him deny its existence.
Then I want to see him deny saying it wasn't real.
Then I want to see him start coughing.
And finally I want to see the look on his ass-face as Daddy is dragged from the White House, if either one of them lives that long.
But if they neither one does, I'm okay with that too.

2. the Democrats in government will be able to get rid of covid immediately despite the ineptness of the trump admin over a year.

for newly-elected President Biden's inauguration, supported by massive crowds on the Mall.

That would be great as I don't see how he could be forced to appear, instead arrested just before the ceremony by NYS authorized law enforcement at the very second he stops being President.

Here’s the thing, bright boy, those rallies you want to hold are going to be are going to be great places for spreading COVID-19. Your Dad’s followers’ political affiliations don’t matter, your Dad’s followers’ fervor for Jay-zus doesn’t matter, and their hatred for so-called “lib-yards” doesn’t matter either. The COVID virus doesn’t care.

Your rallies would attract hundreds of adoring fans sitting cheek-by-jowl and the virus will spread around. Many of your followers will contract it, many will be financially ruined and more than a few will die.

And here’s the irony, Eric: most of us Libs are going to spend the continuing months doing what we can to protect our health and that of our loved ones. And come this fall, we will turn out to go to the polls, mail in our ballots, and put an end to your Daddy’s Presidency.

Your Dad won a lot of swing-states by slivers. Many of those slivers have been consumed by the COVID-19 wildfire. A lot of us hate what your Dad has done to our country, and remember that some of our ancestors pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to keep this country free. . And the Corona virus doesn’t care. But we’ll vote anyway.

Not only is he not in FOX studio exposing himself to germs, but he is using the Big Lie. They've returned to the lie that COVID is nothing but a "Democrat hoax."

He doesn't believe a word he is saying. Like the orange monster, he doesn't care how many Trumpists get sick and die, as long as they vote on the way out.

The Big Lie: wasn't it Goebbels who formulated the proposition that it doesn't matter how outrageously false a statement is, as long as you make it big, bold, shameless, and repeat it often?

"it's all the Deep State and the media pretending this virus is a problem, that's why we don't hold rallies, they're stopping us, but they won't bother after the election". So they're gambling everything on fooling their gullible supporters until the election. If they were to get back in somehow, they'd then have to admit that was all bullshit, and the virus is a real danger. In which case their base would blame them from as soon as the election is over. But I guess they wouldn't care, because they'd have the power of pardon, and could just make out like bandits as long as Republican senators won't vote to impeach or implement the 25th Amendment. The country would be in truly deep shit, though.
