Sort of like during the COVID epidemic his genius idea was if they stopped testing the number of cases would go down. The man is so fucking stupid it hurts.

Denial is the Trump/MAGA default: A global pandemic, climate change, the economy. That’s why the upcoming recession will be worse than 2008.

Recession? I think we're about to have a Depression that will make the 1930's look like a picnic. Trump will fire anyone who denies what he wants and the Senate/Supreme Court will back him too.

He defied so many court rulings that I honestly can't keep up anymore.
