The 'Fuck Your Feelings' Crowd Wants a Pity Party for Trump

President Superspreader and those closest to him are feeling the pain of his reckless, moronic decisions.

Like most Americans, I’ve looked on in horror as the COVID explosion in the White House and Trump campaign staff expands, and the national reality TV show has transformed into “Walter Reed Follies.” I’m waiting for the grisly stats to show just how much his maskless rallies will amplify the spread of a disease we never fully got under control.

But let’s be honest; like me, the first question most observers have asked after learning that Donald Trump had been diagnosed with COVID was, “What took so long?”

There’s a certain grim irony in seeing the leader of a mass movement who denied the danger of COVID publicly while admitting it privately to Bob Woodward finding himself infected. His political acolytes followed his lead in reopening institutions too soon, and his followers scorned masks as a libtard cuckspiracy to deprive Americans of their freedumb.

COVID doesn’t watch Fox. It’s not a member of TrumpTrain2020 Facebook groups where memes of Barack and Hillary’s impending arrest and imprisonment for crimes against MAGA are moments away. The virus doesn’t give a damn what Sean or Tucker or Laura or the Friendly Friends at Fox & Friends vomit out to the Trumpentariat. It doesn’t follow QAnon drops or Ben Shapiro’s “devastating” lib-ownage or Dan Bingbongo’s spittle-flecked, vein-popping webcam ranting.

We have no pity for Trump, just the people he killed.
