Natural selection
A poll by Morning Consult found that, on average, Trump supporters are less likely to follow social distancing rules. This is a great learning opportunity. In one grand experiment we can learn two lessons: 1) Donald Trump is not a source of reliable information. 2) Natural selection is not a hoax.
Of course, the second lesson will be useless to those pruned during the selecting. On the larger scale, regarding the only thing which matters to Trump (that is. Trump) and his own errant survival choices, it will reduce his Republican votes in November.
Dinosaurs grew large over time, though the T. Rex had small hands, and were colorful (maybe even orange), with long, invulnerable lives. But minuscule pathogens still killed them. They were probably outraged at the “fake” news of their deaths.
