Putting me at ease
Being a small farmer here in Spokane County, I have several things to be concerned about as we approach the new growing season: insects, precipitation, crop failure, equipment problems, etc.
Fortunately, we have a president who has assured me that other problems in the world I do not need to worry about. Sea level rise? Nope. Increasing CO2? Nope. Increased wildfires due to climate change? What climate change? You mean that Chinese hoax?
And finally this latest boogeyman: COVID-19. Because my wife and I are in our “golden years,” I got a little worried. That is until he told me that it is a Democratic hoax and just does not exist. Even if it does, there are plenty of tests available and it is no worse than the flu. I’ve had the flu before and I got over it so I am not worried.
Even got rid of the CDC Pandemic response team last year because they were just sitting around wasting money. Heck, he oughta get rid of the entire CDC. Who needs them? After, he already said he knows more than any doctors because he has a natural ability. Thank you, Mr. President.
I’d like to shake his hand.
