Deadly Rallies

Typhoid Trump. How he loves

His super-spreaders! Yes, siree!

All the attention from cheering fans

Fills his hungry heart with glee.

 

Heaven forbid he wear his mask,

Even though he's been infected

With COVID-19. He doesn't care

If most of the crowd is unprotected.

 

His Florida friend Ron DeSantis

Saunters past the crowded rows

Of fans, high-fiving them.

Afterwards, he wipes his nose!

 

While experts want to contain the virus,

Trump's theory is let it spread.

His virus-spreading ego trip

Has him dancing over the dead.

 

At rallies all over, the president's team

Support his notion of "herd mentality"°

And speak to unprotected crowds.

What a peculiar sense of reality!

 

Giuliani says people don't

Die from COVID anymore.

Really? Seven hundred people

Died that day. Numbers soar.

 

Ironically, Pence asks the crowd

At a rally for the president

To applaud first responders! What?

While at a super-spreader event?

 

What an odd relationship

Between Trump and his promoters!

It's almost as if the Trump campaign

Is trying to kill its very own voters.

°Trump meant "herd immunity."

These idiots have the concept of "herd immunity" all wrong (not that trying to be accurate has ever hindered them). Herd immunity is about widespread vaccinating, not about intentionally spreading disease to UN-vaccinated millions! That's pure insanity, but there are plenty of insane people willing to follow his protocol. I feel every bit as bitter about it as your poem seems to be spewing pure disgust. I can't stand to be plugged in to what this dumbass does, except to be peripherally aware of whether or not we are beating his a*s in this ongoing election! Thank you for expressing my utter disgust in ways that I've never had the nerve to do myself becuz I live in Trump country (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Margie, I am sorry that you live in Trump country. My community isn't so much, but they are still everywhere. (haunted laugh) I agree with you about herd immunity. It is a crime that they are putting people's lives in danger--all of our lives, actually. I am crossing my fingers about November so hard that it hurts.

A political point of view. I happen to share yours. Herd immunity seems nuts to me and will result in too many deaths. Your Pres baffles me. He should be wearing a mask. I just don't understand it. At least Boris is wearing his over here. Well penned Bob.

Yes, respected experts agree about the catastrophe of relying on herd immunity. There is no explaining the behavior of Trump. He's totally irrational and caught up in his narcissistic ego.

[Chris Shaw]

Don't disagree with you about Mr T.
