JoyTaylorTalks realDonaldTrump

Trump wins at losing the pandemic response for US and globally. His enablers and supporters prop up his epic failures as successes. Thankfully Birx and Fauci were in their roles prior to reality TV fakery contaminating the WH or matters would be even worse. We deserve better.
