If You're Happy President Trump Tested Positive for COVID-19, You're Just as Bad as He Is

[BlueWavePsych]

Regardless of my feelings about his politics, Donald Trump is a human first. A husband. A father. An uncle. An American. And today I am deeply saddened by the news that both he and his wife, Melania, have tested positive for COVID-19. Yes, he is an abhorrent person who has said and done terrible things. But I’m reminded, this morning, of the instructive words of Mark Twain: “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”

An investment in compassion for your fellow man—even those you may consider adversaries—is like planting an apple tree. And despite my feelings about him personally, I am poised to devour that sweet and delicious fruit. Perhaps, the President’s predicament can be a healing moment for a nation in dire need of one.

I invite you, my neighbor, to eat apples with me. My door is open. My heart is bare. My bosom is AH FUCK I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE I AM OVER-FUCKING-JOYED LIKE STEVIE BUT IF STEVIE HAD LASIK I AM TICKLED AND GIDDY I THINK I SQUEALED THIS MORNING YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY A BLACK MAN MUST BE TO SQUEAL MY NIGGA I’M PIG HAPPY OUT THIS BITCH I CAN’T BELIEVE HE GOT THE THING HE SAID WASN’T A THING EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW IT WAS A THING BUT DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE THING BECAUSE WE WERE THE ONES GETTING THE THING THE MOST AND NOW IT’S TWERKING ON HIS TONGUE CRIP WALKING IN HIS LUNGS THROWING GENDER REVEAL PARTIES ON HIS FUCKING FACE I FORGIVE HIM THE WAY THE BRIDE FORGAVE BILL THE WAY JOHN WICK FORGAVE THE NIGGA WHO KILLED HIS DOG THE WAY RENT-A-CENTER FORGAVE ME FOR THE DVD PLAYER I COPPED IN 2004 AND RETURNED TWO WEEKS LATE THEY STILL CALL ME ABOUT THAT SHIT TODAY BECAUSE THEY HAVE ELEPHANT MEMORIES!

Michelle Obama isn’t the only one to instruct us to go high when they go low. My parents, Wilbur and Vivienne Young, raised me to I’M SORRY I CAN’T DO THIS MY EYES ARE BURNING I’M WHEEZING I THINK I JUST SNORTED SHIT I THINK I JUST SQUIRTED WHEN PEOPLE SAY SHIT LIKE “I WOULDN’T WISH THAT BAD THING ON MY WORST ENEMY” I THINK THEY MUST NOT KNOW WHAT “ENEMY” MEANS THEY MUST HAVE A SPECIAL DICTIONARY WITH DIFFERENT DEFINITIONS OF ENEMY I’VE WISHED BAD CREDIT AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ON NIGGAS WHO CAUSED ME MILD DISCOMFORT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL OF COURSE TODAY I FEEL NOTHING BUT GLEE AND VERVE AND DELIGHT I’M MOTHERFUCKING MIRTHFUL I FEEL LIKE FLYING A KITE LIKE SINGING IN THE RAIN LIKE SAYING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LIKE YODELING MY NIGGA YODEL-AY-EE-EEEE YODEL-AY-EE-OOO YODEL-AY-EE-EEEE YODEL-AY-EE-OOO!

Gotcha

[brewens]

1. I'll have shit eatin' grin on my face out on my morning walk shortly and it won't just be

from the weed. If that makes me a terrible person, so be it. I'll still look pretty damn good compared to Trump, his family and collaborators.

What the country needs is for the morans to grow some brain cells, grow the fuck up, and start taking the pandemic seriously. It needs to happen the easy way, hard way or dead way, but it needs to happen.

[The Magistrate]

2. When a fella Goes Comedian, Sir, He Accepts An Obligation To Be Funny....

It is best left to professionals.

[cwydro]

15. No kidding.

And an awful lot of words I thought were frowned upon here went into that “speech.”

[ananda]

3. I just thank god for it because...

... he has stopped tweeting or doing anything publicly.

Yay

[mitch96]

23. Yes, not tweets...... aka life b4 tRump........nt

[Buckeyeblue]

4. Not happy. But there's an old saying, you reap what you sow.

I don't wish poor health on anyone. But there is a part of me that thinks he got what he deserved for being so antagonistic to measures to contain the spread.

Trump has always been his own worst problem. And that trend continues.

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Every fiber of my being believes HE got what he deserved. Well, sorta...

he deserves much worse, but that is for the voters, then the courts to decide...IF he lives through this.

[Chainfire]

5. I wish him a recovery

I do not want him to escape all of his evil deeds by going to hide in a coffin. I want to see him defeated at the polls and humiliated in criminal court, and living out his life in a Federal pen.

As the Beatles told us, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

[Claustrum]

6. Seriously?

So for a kid who has been bullied for 5 years, finally someone came to his/her rescue and fight back. The kid can't feel relief or even enjoy the fight back? The kid now should feel bad the bully even after being abused for years?

To be honest, I don't want COVID for anyone in the world but if anyone should get it, Trump is up there as the one since he is the #1 COVID disinformation spreader. Also, what I wish or don't wish for doesn't make it a reality. It's his own ignorance, arrogance, and his very own actions or the lack of actions that led to his infection.

[Silver1]

26. Exactly.

This article is essentially victim blaming.

[Goodheart]

7. Fuck that.

[agingdem]

8. Forgiveness is a Christian thing...

I'm Jewish and my god is not a particularly forgiving god...think all those "oh shit god knows what I look like" scary stories in the Old Testament...Trump has the "rona"...his "rona", his "rona" that killed over 209,000 people so far...his "rona" that's infected over 7 million people so far..his "rona" that crashed the economy with 18 million unemployed, his "rona" that has parents terrified to send their children back to school, his "rona" that changed our lives forever...do I give a shit that he's sick, do I care if he never recovers?...NO...a gone Trump is a rescued America...

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. It's obvious some of you did NOT read the post.

[SlogginThroughIt]

33. Admittedly I didn't

Reading a bunch of all caps text doesn’t do it for me.

[HAB911]

11. I prayed for him this morning and I'm not a Christian

Lettuce Prey

Loving God, we prey that you will comfort Donald in his suffering,
lend skill to the hands of his healers,
to keep him alive so he can die in prison,
as is your will.

AMEN

[Rorey]

12. My honest feelings are my honest feelings

I think it's right and just that he's got it, and I don't feel a bit guilty about saying it.

He's got my "thoughts", as in I'm thinking it would be good for him to get the FULL CORONAVIRUS EXPERIENCE. I'm talking ventilator, and maybe some life long souvenirs of the disease.

Prayers? Nope. Never. I'm praying for the children in cages. I'm praying for the people who are unjustly targeted because of their race, gender, or sexual orientation. I'm praying for everyone on the planet who has suffered, and will suffer, because of the actions of TaxCheato and his repuke defenders.

[Laelth]

22. Oh, come on. You can, at least, PRAY for him!

I would recommend Psalm 109 v6-17:

6
Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7
When he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers condemn him.
8
May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
9
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow.
10
May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes.
11
May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12
May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children.
13
May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation.
14
May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD; may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15
May their sins always remain before the LORD, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16
For he never thought of doing a kindness, but hounded to death the poor and the needy and the brokenhearted.
17
He loved to pronounce a curse-- may it come on him; he found no pleasure in blessing-- may it be far from him.

I pray for Trump, regularly. It’s cathartic.

13. Hard to have compassion for someone who is so self serving

I have never had such disgust for another human in my life as I have for this man. My goodwill toward men goes out the window every time he speaks.

[not_the_one]

27. I thought that way about Reagan... until W. Then I thought that way about W... until the turd.

It may be possible that someone will come along that can top the turd... but I highly doubt it. Moscow Mitch and Barr Barr the Traitor do come close... but not quite...

Anger and hate are not pretty emotions, but they can be DAMNED motivating. And I am now in the state of being EXTREMELY HIGHLY MOTIVATED. We are talking OFF THE CHARTS motivated!!!

ANGER and HATE are reliable "go-to's" in my emotional repertoire. Sometimes they are the only emotions that can do justice to the offending behavior. As SOMEONE said, 'it is what it is".

The OP post is hilarious, just in case you didn't bother to read it (which it seems that some didn'y).

[doc03]

14. I don't want to celebrate Trump getting COVID

today Joe Biden could get it. Karma
I remember a guy in my mother's senior apartment
building. He would sit in the lobby and mock other old people the way they walked. He later come down with diabetes and lost both legs. Karma

[dalton99a]

16. I want him alive, bankrupt and in prison

and dying slowly of a horrible and painful disease

[SamKnause]

17. He is my enemy.

He is an enemy of my country.

He is responsible for the deaths of 10's of thousands of Americans.

His death and destruction was and is intentional !!!

He is my enemy.

He is an enemy of my country.

[Ilsa]

18. I don't have enough fucks to give for

showman snakehandlers, people who put their heads in the mouths of alligators, and the guy that was drowning but refused to get on a nearby boat because "God is going to save me."

Trump had more resources available than anyone, but refused to do the simplist thing because of vanity. Yet the rest of us are holed up, jobless, unable to get certain state services, etc without putting our families at risk of DYING because he refused to let the experts do their jobs.

Trumps will either get well or they won't whether I rejoice or not. My compassion, like energy, is not limitless.

[Doodley]

19. "Donald Trump is a human first." Really?

[lindysalsagal]

20. LOL. This to a narcissistic sociopath psychopath wo always gets his opinions on everyone else...

It's OUR turn to have our say, now that the blowhard is silenced. We earned this.

[Laelth]

21. Schadenfreude. Yes, it is a guilty pleasure. n/t

-Laelth

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. I wouldn't say I'm happy

I just don't fucking care.

Anyone with a brain saw this coming. He desired large audiences and refused PPE.

I don't hope for him to die but won't shed a tear if he does. We all will go eventually.

[Paladin]

34. Well then allow me: I'm happy about what's happening to trump and his crime family.

If you're going to cut trump some slack and start feeling sorry for him, better plan on doing the same for Hitler and Stalin. The cruelty quotient for all three of those monsters is remarkably similar---we're currently getting a miraculous break from a loving God. We better make the most of it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. You're putting words in my mouth

Read my first line.

[Paladin]

36. Sorry, didn't mean to.

My comment was directed at those who seem to be softening up on trump and his situation. It's a trend I've seen way too much of, over my years at DU: We Democrats just don't seem to be able to hang on to righteous hatred, even when it clearly benefits us. trump and the Republicans are our evil enemies, and should be treated as such.

[jcgoldie]

25. LIKE STEVIE IF STEVIE HAD LASIK!

[BlueWavePsych]

30. "I AM OVER-FUCKING-JOYED LIKE STEVIE BUT IF STEVIE HAD LASIK"

Political correctness be damned. Its sinfully hilarious

[gollygee]

28. I was gonna say

I haven't ripped kids away from their parents and stuck them in cages yet so I think I'm not quite there.

[LizBeth]

29. This group of people want to take my HC leaving me no protection and care if I get covid. How dare

anyone tell me I am as bad as they are, if I am pissed.

[Tarc]

31. Sorry, but fuck that. Despots don't get pity points

[SlogginThroughIt]

32. hahaha yeah.... Ok.

I have no problem reveling in this dumbass’s stupidity and arrogance lead him to this after 210k people here died and millions are jobless.

I check my crop of fucks today and the fields are barren.
