Feels like we prolonged the inevitable by lockdowns. The minute we go out, masks, Plexiglas, social distancing and all. Thank Obama administration for cooking up the virus in Wuhan that you funded. Will go in history for this mass genocide.
That is absolutely nonsense! Obama had nothing to do with it. Good try but we aren’t falling for it.
Yeah, nice try but no. Not this time. This is totally on Trump. He took so long to act on this, he still makes excuses. Obama would not have handled this virus like Trump. He was a good president, hence getting elected for two terms.
STHU, idiot. Keep drinking the kool-side and injecting Clorox like your Dear Leader. Blue Wave November 2020.
