One issue I see is he is now against billionaires but before it wasn't just billionaires but millionaires too and we all know why he stopped talking about the evils of millionaires. He found out...being a millionaire is kinda awesome.

As long as he pays millionaire taxes like the rest of them, I'll forgive him that. But yes, it is obviously hypocritical.

By my definition of evil, no, I wouldn't say he's evil. I think he's a greedy, selfish ****, but evil is pushing it some. For me, the word "evil" comes with it certain requirements. And let's be fair, Trump is no Lex Luthor.
Of course he's not. Trump is actually real while Lex is merely a figment of his creator's imagination. Trump used his great intellect to take the few million dollars he inherited and turn it into the huge business empire he now has. Lex Luthor was basically given his huge business empire because the person or persons who created him wanted him to have it.
In short, Trump made his own empire and Luthor had his handed to him so yep, they're not the same. Trump is superior. 👆

Of course. Sanders is a hypocrite just like pretty much everyone else on the left is.

You're ****ing mental.
But sure, let's use a real person. Hitler. Stalin. Take your pick of any real life dictator that caused millions of deaths. A fair few of those are evil.

I'm sure he paid his taxes, but it is strange he stopped talking about the evils of millionaires.
So the guy worth 999 mil is okay, but once he gets to 1 billion f*ck him.

The flu kills .1% of the infected. Coronavirus kills 2%. But it is total hysteria.

So... People dying from brand new ways on top of that is okay, somehow?I mean, I get that's not what you're saying, and you probably just want people to not panic, but calling it a hoax is a bit of an exaggeration, imo. People have already died from it.

Here's a better stat that correctly and accurately reflects reality:
Of the known [b]severe
cases of contracting COVID-19, only 2%, so far, appear to be fatal.And the numbers are likely inflated as even WHO, in their mortality rate study, warns about their data being reflective of severe cases and not absolute 'infected but fine' all the way to 'infected and then died' data being available.

I wondering if you will back track at all. Even a little bit, after reading my fact filled post or if you'll double down and somehow blame Trump or get mad at Trump. Notice how my points don't involve Trump? It shouldn't. Nor should yours. [/B]
And I should note that it is not new. Just the hysteria around it.
The true travesty is pretending like COVID-19 is magically different than other strains of the Flu, and causes all of this panic and problems. The same precautions should be taken with COVID-19 that you take with the common flu.
Just guessing but it looks like COVID-19 has a lower rate of contractability than other flus. Once you balance actual cases in with what we have (extreme case collection and not true mortality rate information), COVID-19 seems like a tamer version of the flu virus.

Check your facts a bit:
