irritatedwoman That, is Just what ,the Chines want him to do. Not the Russians.. That's just me Talking..

Good I’m tired of seeing Americas stupid side behind him

He needs to go to the virtu8world and stay there.

We beached our dingy on an uninhabited Florida Island to gather Spanish Moss because of the world toilet paper grab. We’re Sailing the Atlantic on our 36’ schooner avoiding the plague. Stay healthy my friends.

So he is sick and his staff has decided this is way to hide - cue Weekend at Bernies.

NFW trumpy is cool with this. he can't go more than a couple days w/o a live toxic rally, especially now.

Why is he suspending? He doesnt have the virus! Riiiiight? Hmmm i guess to have more golf time

Finally.

Good. We don’t need hate rallies in this country anymore.

Virtual reality. Perfect.

I thought this was all just a... hoax.

Good.

Really doesn’t matter! But I truly enjoyed his rallies, such loving enthusiastic events!

AwakenedOutlaw 1 more step closer to Potus being secured in sky in airforce one during arrests!!

But...but... how is this poor man going to get his validation?

thanks - that's a good idea - keep all of safe - you still rock and will win in 2020

Nah, they need to be up close and personal! Even spit swapping!😁

AwakenedOutlaw

What's he gonna do without his sycophants wiping his ass for him at his 'rallies'?

Liked

Finally

About time!

Russia is in charge of it

Here comes the leftist meltdown...

Always compelled to do what is right realDonaldTrump! VoteJoe

Now that they are all infected.

Strong leadership as we are standing strong against the virus we will be stronger together battling away blah blah strong again blah blah stronger still and all that strong guff! I swear if you start saying that word its a conspiracy

Oh how easy to pre-record as he hides.

He’s totally fucked

Cant MAGAs fight this off with their guns and a border wall ?

That's got to be tough for him...its what he lives for.

How else will his ego survive? He would implode without the masturbatory ego fluffing he gets from his rallies.

No!

Oh really?

It's ashame it took this virus to stop Trump from flying all over the country spewing his hateful rhetoric...smh

He’s not well. Tick tick tick

He looks unwell.

WHERE’S senatemajldr?!

I thought tRump and Fox News said it was a Democratic hoax?

Should have taken precautions sooner!

Oh hell Nall, he’s trying to be slick.

For mor yeers ,..magga !

I live one mile from confirmed cases, have symptoms, and yet I cannot get a test. There are not enough tests for this. Deep cough, chest pain, fever, body aches... and yet I am not able to confirm if I have it. I have asthma and breathing issues like this really hit me. Not good.

now this is a good idea

Mr Trump is the best president in human history!

Is this because of that dem hoax he was talking about?!

He will cancel the election next - and stay President to save the nation

BuT mUh dEm HoAx!

Now not having the adoring crowds will really put his widdle wee backside out of joint.

Wii President Trump golf this weekend during the Coronavirus crisis?

The look of fear and terror in DJT's eyes as he becomes aware that the whole world knows about the situation created in the USA by himself and his henchman who have all retreated to the safety of their own homes.

mrbigg450 Get it right, FFS. “Trump is skipping WHITE SUPREMACIST HATE RALLIES temporarily...”

Trump is a LIAR not a leader.

Wish he’d skip out of the country...maybe skip to some swamp.

WorstPresidentInHistory

maggieNYT Funny. He needs in person pats on the back. POTUS

maggieNYT He's got it.

Why are they afraid of a Democratic hoax? Anyway, Dear Leader says the hoax virus is going magically away. Guess they are just giving him a little time to lock up those rascals Hillary and Obama who started it all.

The world is witnessing a BAFFOON at his best while demonstrating more of his inabilities but yet many near and around him accepting the downfall.

Golfing is probably on the schedule for this weekend. Making sure America is ok is not.

realDonaldTrump stubborn and stupid. Instead of leading Trump following the lead of true leaders of this country mayors, governors and even candidate JoeBiden! Always late and forced to do the right thing. VoteJoeBiden

maggieNYT The Grt Pumpkin needs a live audience. Miller & Kushner enough?

no he has none planned right now, There not shifting any thing try getting the truth

Good.

Trump may still being going viral around the White House, but who knows? He’s not testing.

He probably has the virus. He doesnt don anything to protect others.

How will he connect with his supporters? He needs to get up close and personal 😈

What? It’s a hoax... he should definitely attend all of them.

Trumps presidency will be taken out by the failure to do what is needed for the country regarding Covid 19.

Who forced him into that?

Wow realDonaldTrump has to do work and can’t go get all that magat adulation. So he’ll invite GOP to his office and infect them all

maggieNYT Hoax

A virtual clown show.

maggieNYT Is he now scared

maggieNYT That's not gonna give Trump the thrill he craves from rallies

POTUS Yeah, so easy to ignore his virtual rants.

maggieNYT There’s a clown president in that picture. The makeup and hair has to go. He thinks it’s a tv reality show.

Why I think he go out and shake everyones hands

I'm sure realDonaldTrump is angry about being inconvenienced by Coronavirus. He might have to pretend to be concerned for a while.

Scared for himself but not for Americans. tRump is a FRAUD.

Maybe he did take the test after all.

maggieNYT Hope he does better on virtual rallies than he did with that awful Prime time speech. That was watching a train wreck.

He will go stir crazy. 'Excuse Mr. Trump this is a Wendy's.'

maggieNYT How much y’all want to bet he has it

What about the hoax?

But but he told everyone it was fake😏

Anyone see RepKatiePorter today? That's a real leader.

But I thought everything was going smoothly and beautifully?... realDonaldTrump CoronavirusPandemic Election2020

maggieNYT This can’t be right. They never ever do the right thing. 😳

Skipping is canceling. Didn't need mass cancelations for swine flu, ebola, Sars or Mers. But we need one for a virus so mild most ppl will think it's a cold? A virus with an average fatality age above mean lifespan? 80 years old. There is no reason to cancel anything at all
