  4. MAGAT farmers can suck it! You reap what you sow, idiots. We warned you Trump would fail us all but you just wouldn't listen. "Lock her up," you screamed. "But her emails," you bleeted during MAGAT rallies.

    I hope you lose your entire family farm and then some. Enjoy the horrible unemployment mess and SNAP gubmit handouts. Ignorant retards.

  6. The only people (other than the typical outraged by everything leftist) who cares whether Trump refers to the virus as the Wuhan or kung flu are in the White House media gang. I suspect he uses those phrases just to piss them off. Which is a good thing. Fun to watch too.
