Measles. He should catch measles from some MAHA supporter. Immunity does sometimes wane in the elderly. He gets mixed ratings on covid, and anyway, he’s personally taken most of the right steps. (He’s vaxxed to the gills.) But he kind of single handedly set up the people to turn off all the other vaccines. ---

Yeah, if he doesn’t hesitate to cheat in any situation or use people and then throw them under a bus when he’s gotten what he wants. Oh yeah, and he can’t display an ounce of compassion ever, he must never apologize even when the whole world knows he’s wrong, and he must always believe he is the smartest person in any room. Yeah, he can go far… but not far enough _away_. ---

How is that: In his 2nd term, he’s doing more for the advancement of EVs than any other president in the history of America. ---

> [@Al128](#): > > he’s doing more for the advancement of EVs than any other president in the history of America. Are you sure? Me? I’m a skeptic. I mean, I’ll give you the first 40 or so presidents. I’m sure that Trump is doing more for the advancement of EVs than Rutherford B Hayes and Chester Arthur. But how has he done more than, say, Biden? Please do tell. ---

Causing a rise in gasoline prices = helping the advancement of EVs. ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > Causing a rise in gasoline prices = helping the advancement of EVs Maybe. But somehow I doubt that $5.00/gallon gasoline will cause millions of Americans to run out and buy an EV. Instead, they will either fork out the money and bitch about it, or drive less and bitch about it. Now, if $5.00/gallon gasoline persists for a while, or even becomes the new normal, then EV sales will probably increase. That, and the buildup of charging stations nationwide. ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > On the other hand, he’s nearly killed the Emetics industry. (Now, all that doctors have to do to induce a patient to vomit, is to show them a photo of Donald.) This treatment is now contraindicated, since despite its effectiveness as an emetic, it also spikes blood pressure and cortisol levels.
