Donald Trump Jr. suggested that Democrats are rooting for millions to die

Witness this interview that Don Jr. did with "Fox & Friends" on Friday morning:

Brian Kilmeade: And so now we're getting to sprint towards November for -- to -- to see if your dad can get four more years. Are you surprised the way they've been handling the coronavirus situation, meaning Democrats?

Don Jr.: Not at all. I mean, we've seen -- like you said, we've seen this play out for four years. Anything that they can use to try to hurt Trump, they will. Anything he does in a positive sense, like you heard from the reporter that was just suspended from ABC, they will not give him credit for. The playbook is old at this point.

But for them to try to take a pandemic and seemingly hope that it comes here, and kills millions of people so that they could end Donald Trump's streak of winning, is a new level of sickness. You know, I don't know if this is coronavirus or Trump derangement syndrome, but these people are infected badly.


OK, so. The President's eldest son, who has made no secret of his interest in running for office and maybe even president in the future, is suggesting that Democrats are rooting for coronavirus to come to the United States and kill "millions of people" solely so that they might have a better chance of winning in November.

What can you say about that line of logic?

At its most basic level, this sort of stuff from Don Jr. is deeply irresponsible.

They hate those so much anyhow. Let them have more fireworks, at least. The limits on the bigger ones are slowing down their Darwin Awards.

And I really hope they don't stay home from his rallies if they feel sick. It is just a media plot to hurt Trump after all.

They seem to see that as a great insult. They will go to avoid being called snowflakes. There should be a committee on effective methods to control them a little better. We might be onto something here.

just Trump and his trophy hunting, sicko oldest two sons would do. We don't even need to worry about any of the females in that grifter family. This country will never elect a woman.

I can only speak for myself, of course.

Nature/time will get the old man, sooner or later. A lion or a hippo could eventually take care of the sicko oldest sons. It would be apropos. Just saying.

I don't wish for millions to die, but there are about three right now that if I saw their obituary, I would read it with great interest.

With stock markets around the world tanking because of this, that's the one thing that could do Trump in. That's why the talking point is becoming the Democrats are behind everything to do with the Coronavirus. The Trumps know they can pretty much tell their sheep anything and they'll believe it, no matter how big of a lie it is.

He's thinking that Democrats would do that because he knows that, if roles were reversed, he and other Trumpists would indeed root for millions of deaths.

I am hoping that millions of Americans die, that my savings collapse leaving me destitute, that society collapses, that sea level rises 20 meters, and that Trump is reelected. That will show them....

The Trump cult would like nothing better than millions of the unwashed (and/or dissenters) to die.

If Dad loses the re-election, you have no shot whatsoever in the future. Name any government slot: senator, representative, governor, mayor, dog catcher, etc. Nobody will return your calls, not even the NRA.

Go back to your office in Trump Tower and finish running your father's so-called business into the ground with your ne'er-do-well brother, Eric, who MIGHT let you glue labels on the wine bottles.
