I don’t. Fuck him with a cactus and tell him it’s the best, biggest, most beautiful and stable vaccine and he can patent it. ---

I keep hearing people talk/joke about him not being covered by insurance due to his own policy changes. It’s not like he can’t afford to pay just about any medical bills he’s going to accrue for the duration of his life. What he’s going to be billed for his stay at Walter Reed would bankrupt most of us, but it’s not going to put a dent in his pocketbook (I know, I know, he wouldn’t pay it anyway, but that’s beside the point). ---

With @forfyv as precedent, I’ve already reported mumbles for abandoning the Trump taxes thread in P&E and shitting in this one instead. The intent is obviously the same. ---
