Trump reportedly lashed out at Kushner over increased COVID-19 testing: 'I'm going to lose, and it's

going to be your fault'

Throughout the course of the pandemic, President Donald Trump lashed out at his son-in-law Jared Kushner over testing and mask-wearing, according to a report by The New York Times.

According to The Times, during a meeting of top aides in the Oval Office on August 19, Trump grew angry with increased COVID-19 testing in the US, which he blamed for higher case numbers. "You're killing me! This whole thing is! We've got all the damn cases," Trump reportedly yelled at Kushner.

Trump continued, The Times reported, by telling Kushner, "I want to do what Mexico does. They don't give you a test till you get to the emergency room and you're vomiting."

The report alleged that Trump viewed testing "as a mechanism for making him look bad by driving up the number of known cases."

You own the results, moron.

They crap on Mexico a lot but rich dickheads want this country to be just like Mexico. A few rich people and everyone else in desperate poverty working for peanuts and fetching them a drink. Wouldn’t it be great to not give a shit about poor or sick people and not have to pretend like you do?

I'm just surprised why so many seem surprised at things like this or expect him to change.

Donald Trump had the opportunity to face this crisis head on, and really act like a leader for once. Had he done so, he'd probably have been reelected easily. However, his bullshit backfired on him. Bigly. He has nobody to blame for having his ass kicked in November, except for himself. And of course he blames everyone for it BUT himself.

and telling everyone to social distance. But a mask would mess up his make-up so he didn't.

That's what you call the biggest asshole ever, and he got what he deserved.
