You'd think that after a virus ended his first presidency in shambles, he'd be wary of the dangers to him and his ambitions for the future but never underestimate his ability to double down on stupid.

Soon we will have no stats to look at to know when people are dying in droves from outbreaks. No jobs data to tell when economy is going down the shitter. GDP will always be 5% growth per quarter to please herr Trump.

The gdp will grow 5000% every day

I'm telling you, it's a civil war and the side that takes permanent control of the Federal government wins. Unfortunately, many liberals refuse to fight. Instead they've either buried their heads in the sand or made the business decision to capitulate to the Republicans.
