      even with corona Trump would have won if he had gotten a second stimulus check out instead of punting. he lost on October 5th when he listened to whoever told him to dangle checks as a reward for reelecting him, such a dumb guy move

      I think Trump would have won, even with the Coronavirus, if he hadn't personally caught it. It kept him from campaigning during a critical time, and damaged his image in the minds of his followers as the big tough guy who pisses off the libs.

          I believe pretty much most of the qanon theory that covid 19 was made to make Trump look bad because they knew Biden would lose but Unlike them I really don’t give a flying fuck about trump being spited. He’s a dumbass that had the potential to do populism and became a neoconservative shill.

              Most likely lmao. My big theory is that it’s gonna be a bush thing where people don’t like him so he does a false flag biochemical attack to justify internal war on terror
