Ride it Like a Cowboy

So, this was a thing that got said out loud where the people could hear yesterday:

“Ride it like a cowboy. Just ride it. Ride that sucker right through,” Trump said, as seen in the C-SPAN video below. “And I thought about it,” Trump admitted, adding that 1.6 million to 2.2 million people would die if he had simply decided to “ride it.”

And he thought about it. So, you know, if the US manages to pull out of the pandemic with deaths in the low six figures, you should be feeling pretty good about things. Because he was thinking about it.

Yee hah, motherfuckers.

(Also, he was probably given to listening to the low-ball figures, of course.)
