COVID not Trump’s fault: I pray that people use their intelligence. Nothing is Donald Trump’s fault. This virus (started in) China from who knows what. It just blew up. It’s not his fault. If he doesn’t get in, he doesn’t care. He’s a billionaire. He’s the first president who ever got the unemployed rate that low. I got a $1,200 check from him.
Trump shows no concern: The egomaniac president says he now understands (coronavirus). I really don’t think so. If he understood, he wouldn’t have the Secret Service driving him around for his little photo op through the crowds. He is just so egotistical that he doesn’t care about anyone else. I think these people make him feel the love his parents didn’t give him as a kid. All they did was shower him with money, not love.
Teaching the wrong lesson: Parents, what are you teaching your children? Two little boys walked behind their father this morning past our house and past our Trump signs. I happened to be outside, and one little kid, maybe about 6, put up his middle finger and said, “*%$#” Trump.” What are you teaching your children? How would a 6-year-old know enough to make that kind of statement?
POTUS complicit: You know the president should be charged with killing over 200,000 Americans because that’s what he did with his incompetence. We are still counting American lives because of his incompetence. You can vote for him if you like. No one can tell you how to vote. But you are the one who has to look in the mirror.
Biden’s health records: So many on TV are concerned about the president’s health and feel Americans have the right to know specifics about his condition. I, too, believe a president’s health is important, and the health of someone seeking the presidency. When will Joseph Biden release his medical records?

Now what will they do? I agree with that caller about the lack of outrage by state Democrats concerning Madigan’s bribery case. With Rep. Kifowit announcing the run for House speaker, it will be interesting to discover the positions of Sen. Holmes and Rep. Hernandez. I wonder if they will finally speak out against Madigan. They could be too intimidated by the fact he has spend hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past decade to keep those two in office.
