1. Trump's refusal to get tested sends a horrible message. His staff justifies it with "He is superman, he is strong" as if that has anything to do with whether a virus can infect him.

It shows he still does not get it, and that his staff is so caught up in a Kim Jong Un-style..

2..proclamation that he is simply beyond being human, that he has powers beyond mortal man. Soon we will be hearing that he could talk at birth and wrote symphonies at 3. (Kim Jong Un's staff says this.)

Worse, it is continuing to tell his fans that this is no big deal, that...

4...going on here. And if they do, because of Trump's criminal incompetence, we can't get tested. All we can do is isolate ourselves for 2 weeks. OUR lives are disrupted and may be ended because Trump wants to be reelected.

We need a real leader. And when Trump tries to use...

5...use this to cancel the election, which I firmly believe has a decent change of him trying, there needs to be an uprising of citizens fighting for our right to choose whether we want to continue to be led by a lunatic.

6...people are replying "of course he got tested. He's lying."

I know that is probably true. Not the point. His TELLING people he has not been tested because he is so strong, then wandering around other people, is the problem. He is communicating a horrible message to his fans.
