Trump Says Getting The Coronavirus Was A 'Blessing From God'

Source: Huffington Post

President Donald Trump called it a “blessing from God” that he got coronavirus, a disease that has killed over 211,000 Americans this year.

“I think this was a blessing from God that I caught it,” the president said of COVID-19 in a video message outside the White House on Wednesday.

Trump tested positive for COVID-19 last Thursday and spent three days hospitalized at Walter Reed medical center before returning to the White House on Monday.

The U.S. leads the world with over 7.5 million confirmed coronavirus cases and over 211,000 dead so far.

Perhaps during tonight's debate, Pence will explain how getting infected with COVID-19 is one of the holy sacraments along with having extramarital with a porn star.

Thus, Trump did not fail. He was simply trying to share in the blessings of God.

That's worth a ton of votes because those guys and gals are so easy to play. Look at the fraudsters that have ripped them off over the years, and they still send in their money.

Back in the day, when God smited some insane, roid-raged, eating-Crisco-with-a-spoon, no-dick, tyrannical asshole for Violating the Laws of God and Man, that bastard stayed smited. He didn't stand on the balcony outside the White House bragging about how his smiting was really a blessing from God.

This was an informercial for Regeneron, which Benedict Donald has a financial interest in. Nothing has changed, it's still all about putting more dollars in his pocket.

Trump knows this is a disaster, so he has to use it somehow to get attention and claim God favors him.
