The mail was just delivered. It included two copies of a postcard that in big bold letters on the front says
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CORONAVIRUS GUIDELINES FOR AMERICA
It has a G-10 permit, meaning it was paid for by the federal government.
I thought Vice President Pence was in charge of the coronavirus response, so I am glad to learn that PRESIDENT TRUMP is personally asserting his role as leader and has personally formulated guidelines for us. We need strong leadership in times like these.
“Honey, we’re out of toilet paper.”
“Don’t worry. PRESIDENT TRUMP just sent us this postcard.”
“God bless that man.”
I read the one we received yesterday. My response?
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
I thought about reading it, so I could be sure to do the exact opposite. But not worth the 10 seconds, so straight to the recycle bin.
Hey! I haven’t gotten mine yet!
No, the advice on the postcard actually is basic good sense.
Trump should read it.
Dear, Mr. President.
I have received your postcard and read it in the smallest room in the house. Thankfully, it was soon behind me.
Column: Has Trump even read his own ‘Coronavirus Guidelines for America’?
Apparently, the answer is “no”.
Does the postcard say that the pandemic will blow over when the weather breaks? Otherwise, someone else wrote it. (Speaking of Capt. Obvious.)
I just checked, and mine was in the mailbox. It was in there with a bunch of junk mail. I didn’t read it, because I’ve already heard what Trump had to say about the weather, and the demise of the virus. In total I got about 5 pieces of junk mail, and one piece-of-shit mail.
USPS usually emails me pictures of that day’s deliveries to our post office box but there’s nothing today. Much of what arrives goes S2S, Straight to Shredder. It’s a shame to cut down forests for this stuff.
When mine comes, I’m going to write “Return to sender” on it and put it back in the box.
I’m not, I’m putting it with all my other documents that I’ve kept through the years, will make an interesting piece of ephemera. Now if any of my descendants will want it is another question.
I’m not sure what part of the NO POLITICS in the Quarantine Zone forum description people are not getting. In any case, since this is evidently intended to ridicule Trump, let’s move it to the Pit.

Mine came today and went straight into the recycle bin. It wasn’t anything I hadn’t heard at least TWO WEEKS AGO.
When referring to Trump, I prefer “MOTO” (Moron Of The Obvious).
I noted getting this on the “Trump pissed you off” thread, and while I would say the advice offered is just as obvious as you state, there is good advice on it and since Trump’s name is so obviously displayed therein, it may encourage some of his supporters to actually take it seriously, thus helping out in ‘leveling the curve’, as most doctors are wanting. So some good may come of this.
That said, putting his name so prominently regarding a disease he did (and appears to still be doing) his best to play down and make light of, I do admit it ‘irks’ me some.
My main quibble with it is why it was labelled “President Trump’s”. It should come from the CDC, possibly from the surgeon general, and there was no reason to put his name on it at all.

Yeah. It’s almost as if he was seeking to take credit for someone else’s good work.
But that’s just crazy talk on my part.
