I am sure they will make people sign crap until after he has been dead for 23 years, he is so paranoid and hyper-lawsuit. You practically have to sign an NDA with him if you are within 1,000 yards of him at any point in your life.

The votes can't all be counted on the 3rd, it will take several days, and all of those days Trump and Fox News will proclaim him the winner. Once the full count is in there will be a push to overthrow it and install Trump as the new president anyway.

January 20th, when Biden is sworn in, is when it will really start to change.

of the Midwest and West right now is due to people traveling to rallies and returning home infected and spreading the virus. Plus the bike rallies.

Here in NY we're seeing some clusters here and there, but not the huge numbers occurring west of us. Red state governors are contributing to the spread by refusing to take actions to restrain it.

Trump and his followers are pushing hard for herd immunity, no matter who it hurts.

suing Trump and/or the campaign is the last thing from their minds. They've already forgiven and absolved him.

Innocent people who didn’t even attend his dumbass rallies are going to die because of this.

Why he’s just allowed to knowingly endanger people like this I’ll never understand. Fuck Trump.
