He absolutely did know. He fancied himself a Nero. https://www.npr.org/2020/09/09/911188322/trump-knew-seriousness-of-the-coronavirus-early-on-new-book-says

It's very similar with Trump, except he's not Nero, it's Putin who is playing a liar.
MentatGamer
MAGAts would hang their empty heads in shame if only they had the requisite integrity.
pritolus
More oblivious than Nero? I thought burning Rome was his idea?
AnythingMuchShorter
The most ridiculous part is trump playing an instrument. That takes longer than 15 seconds of attention to learn.
Lethalcgreen
Nero was better than Trump because he allowed plebs into the palace gardens for food and coordinated rescue efforts pretty well 1/2
Lethalcgreen
Its why the fire of Rome wasn't like the fire of London, Nero was actually an effective crisis leader, unlike Trump 2/2

you want virus mutations? ’cause herd immunity (or as trump says "herd mentality") is one good way to get them.

Nothing can stop what's coming? No one knows what it is? I'm hoping a turd the size of a car lands on his head
StarscreamAndHutch
He looks like it already has.
ClaudioLombard
22 deaths over at least 34 states? Dafuq dat work?
SubstituteReality
He was 'told' in February. "Knowing" implies a level of comprehension that it doesn't seem he is callable of.

dont forget about event 201 in OCT 2019
chuffmunky
it means he knows exactly what "stochastic terrorism" is?

remember all those cucks defending him back then?Bending over backwards to try and make timelines fit the narrative even tho they didn't fit

Anyone with common sense knew how dangerous this virus was on March 9th. He just knew more, from intelligence briefings.

Oh look, he publicly acknowledged the Nero comparison, which is yet another square for antichrist Bingo. Already won like 6 ways...

His hands are too big :P
FiveShiftOne
Wasn't the "Nothing can stop what's coming" thing Qanon? This wasn't an anti-Trump meme, and Trump's retweeting it was much more worrying >

Trump makes Nero look like Marcus Aurelius.

And yet EVERY SINGLE hoax calling covid denying republican politician is getting VACCINATED FIRST! Before healthcare workers and teachers.

I suppose the one tiny silver lining in this giant shitstorm thunderhead is that they clearly think it will work/it’s safe. So there’s that.

Id like to see him and Moscow Mitch drawn and quartered in front of Mt. Rushmore.

That'd be just the start of it. There's a long list of co-conspirators & willing enablers.

Is Trump really so stupid he didn’t understand what that meant?
TheGreatBlueHeron
He didn't give a shit.
mrmartini
whereisdannymo
This is not a smart man.
dnebdal
Most of the comments here don't seem to recognize it as a Qanon slogan - it's their version of "the day of judgement will soon be upon us".
Lassannn
I'm not supporting Trump, of course, but in fairness, Nero actually joined a bucket brigade and tried to put the fire out.
AmericanWarfighter
of course ?
GCRust
Which actually means Donald Trump is worse than Nero.
NationofSchrad
He also donated his own land to provide for the citizens that lost their homes in the fire. (Nero, in case there was ever any confusion.)
StanielRonathan
Nero wasn't in Rome when the fire happened, he was in Antium at the time according to Tacitus's account. He was quick to return, bringing-
StanielRonathan
food and other such emergency supplies; he converted gardens & public buildings into shelters, and was fast to begin rebuilding the-
StanielRonathan
burned down districts a new Greek design. His response was ironically too swift as it lead to his critics, mainly the wealthiest classes-
StanielRonathan
further accusing him of planning for the fire to happen.
BigBun
Shut up, orange man bad.
PaintedSlate
Has he considered not being so aggressively bad? The bar is loooooow. He's just not clearing it.

It doesn't really surprise me that the people who thought Thanos' plan had merit are enthusiastic supporters of Trump.
Kingdomonsterdeath
Thanos's plan did have merit. He went about it very much the wrong way. Genocide is never the answer. There are limited resources though.
Kingdomonsterdeath
Population control could improve the lives of all. If resources are distributed adequately. Would take time and everyone's effort though.
GCRust
Dude...no. Just no. Thanos' plan does not have merit. It is the ideas of a mad man.
Kingdomonsterdeath
Not really. His methods are terrible but ultimate goal was not such a bad thing. Population control to create sustainability and equilibrium
purdhapley
Now member of the GOP are saying trump needs to “cross the rubicon”, and analogy for the point of no return. What they fail to realize->
Rodenbeard
They know what it means. The GOP is the party of fascism.
purdhapley
Is that when Caesar crossed the rubicon, that’s when a civil war broke out and Caesar became a dictator for life.
crazyspelling
"Fail to realize" lol, so optimistic!
SullivansMuff
If they weren't so oblivious to the historical record, I'd say that's exactly what they're aiming at
GCRust
At this point, it's safe to assume the Republicult knows EXACTLY what they are saying.
UnknownVD
They fail to realize? More like wetting the dog whistles...
fistermatic5000
They know exactly what it means.
surfinshell
And this is what they want...something they will no doubt regret.
5amNonsense
So it's time to solve the Caesar problem the same way the Roman senate did?
Smacketywack
...and then he acquired 23 new breathing holes in his torso.
pizzapartyhard
Which lead to another civil war followed by power being seized by an emperor.
BlairT1
That’s more than typical, I’ll have you know
fistermatic5000
Thus establishing a fine tradition of assassinating dictators.
DrKriegersClone
They realize it, they're just confident they'd win that civil war.
crazyspelling
There's big money in selling war. They'd lose though. Badly.
Filanwizard
I feel like Trumpism is a Kobayashi Maru for the GOP at this point.
369ItsAlwaysAGoodTime
I'm more of a fan of Kobayashi vs the bear.
Smacketywack
The problem is that Trump sees everything as a political football. Everything is about his own popularity and power. The deaths of
AmericanWarfighter
nobody is dying, relax. did you get it?
RocketrySurgeon
"AmericanWarfighter" over here doubting the most catastrophic thing his country has gone through in 100 years.
newsguycraigevans
The virus had killed more than 300k Americans. I suggest you be loyal to the USA, not to trump.
Smacketywack
Are you kidding? Many are dying. We’re past a quarter of a million deaths in the US alone.
MatrimBloodyCauthon
He lives in make believe land, he hasn't gotten the paper delivered yet.
Smacketywack
hundreds of thousands do not matter to him on a human level. That’s just not how he thinks. He simply plays every misstep to his own

advantage and doubles down on every stupid thing he says and does. And it turns out he has a base of supporters who ADMIRE this character
Smacketywack
trait. They LIKE a leader who lacks any humility or empathy because it fits their ideal worldview.
GCRust
Yup. Elect a reality TV star, and people are excited over the "action packed" Television.
bigdickrick206
This makes me so sad. That 75 million people in my country are down with that way of thinking.
hog0father
Yes, it is sad and disgusting there are so many people like that. Even in the world, let alone the US.
procrastinatingagain
We had multiple hearings about Benghazi costing millions of dollars. I'd like to see Republicans get as excited about 317, 000 deaths as¹
only90skidswillgetthis
Don't worry, once Joe Biden is in office everyone can get together to see how the Democrats could let it get this bad
whereisdannymo
wrong- no dem is going to do the exact opposite of what the health experts recommend. Only orange could F it up this badly.
ButtPlunger69
I think he was making a point that Republicans are going to shift the blame to Democrats as soon as he is in office.
ShamalamaDingDing
Literally nothing will happen to those motherfuckers. They will pay absolutely no price, politically or personally.
leodavinci1
We'll see. Trump has been reported to be terrified of being assassinated. I wonder why?
QuackWok
Kill them
DasOgre
IDontLoveJesusButDoItAnyway
only 16k deaths, must be pretty old
ElbowDeepInUserSub
This is old! That last bar just keeps getting smaller and smaller. One day it will be gone, like a dream.
RunsNakedThroughSwamps
All those people who died? You dreamed them up. They actually died last year/next year but your mind made it this year, to for the economy.
DasOgre
And I’m surprised at how small the two blue bars are. They should be at least 2x bigger
procrastinatingagain
they did about 4.
Chalybos
They can’t, because they are shits. One and all.
leechdemon
It was clearly never about the people; wasn't then, isn't now, tomorrow isn't looking good either.
Filanwizard
And dont forget, her emails.
theangryjanitor
I'm pretty sure everyone from the president on down his lineup of minions is smoking meth
Rainbowdaesh
4 deaths is way more than 317,000. Up next on Hannity, just how many babies have democrats sacrificed to moloch?
ztygs
It's past 318,000 btw.
Rainbowdaesh
Holy shit! Where are democrats getting all those babies?
thesleeve3d
Well, we are (checks notes) godless, left-wing radicals...so we must have baby farms where we farm babies for the orphan crushing machine.
FantabulousMan
Oh, they absolutely will be making a stink about the deaths the second it turns Jan 21st
Filanwizard
im sure when the first batch of death reports comes in on that day, Trump will tweet how Biden failed to protect America. we know its coming
KinetoPlay
No he won't. He may yell about it, but his Twitter is getting deleted.
LSUguy
He'll have to go through the suspension and graduating violation system first. They won't retroactively punish/delete. But we all know he'll

Mass murderer AND Traitor! He should be sentenced to a firing squad.

Well after January 20th he gets to disappear into obscurity and face indictment for his crimes.
mastamage
I thought he got to star in a series of trails and lawsuits, followed by a new season of orange is the new black

More than likely he'll start a new radical right "news" group as a counter to Fox and try to keep his followers/donations.
