Maybe a stupid question. Idk. How contagious it is? How its shutdown large sectors of economy?

Or something more sinister like a man-made virus?

Play on words. It's infiltrated 180+ countries and as an enemy it's brilliant from that standpoint.

It's not literal.

I wouldn't jump to a moral meaning as in 'good' or 'bad'.


My guess would be that it is more a bit of awe at the genius of nature.

Even a virus manipulated by humans is part of nature.

My President creates the most brilliant and the most beautiful viruses in the world’s history.

He is very terrific and does a very beautiful and wonderful job at creating these wonderful and best viruses.

I think you spend a lot more brainpower thinking about his use of superlatives than he ever does. He throws words like that around without much thought.

"Folks we have the most brilliant viruses. I thank the almighty God every day that this virus isn't Speaker of the House, or you might be talking to President Virus right now."

What the hell are you talking about? There are no 'meds' for this virus! Except, Tylenol...Ibuprofen. There's no definitive treatment for this thing to 'adapt' to. You should not comment on medical manners.

Almost like it was genetically engineered. Who would've thought?

Yep. Your enemy can be brilliant even though he is wrong.

When you see Trump speaking or tweeting about "the virus". Replace "virus" with "swamp" and you will have a more accurate context of what he means.

Because it makes people sick, is hard to kill, highly contagious, attacks those most vulnerable to it while being spread around by people who show no symptoms and don’t know that they are infected.

In some ways it is the perfect virus to cause mayhem

TDS has infected more than Kung Flu.


Bless your heart.
