How dare he? He is not a leader. He is not my leader.

American people open your sight before electing this sin

Well... Thats a dam nice name for it

Yeah and you are business insider trading. We’ll order a review of you by stock watch.

Actually it is the Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus Kung Flu

My first instinct is to say, incredible!! But... par for the course. He’s unfit for office.

He said there are about 20 names....

The same man that asked China to help re-elect him for 2020? Fucking idiot. Hopefully he catches covid and does us all a favor by making sure his lungs turn to Swiss cheese⚡️

racist gonna racist

Quick, let’s all pretend to be outraged by a clever joke name and claim it’s somehow “racist”

Overt racism. MAGA
