Thousands of people are dying in Nagorno-Karabakh these days- but medias post how Trump is tested positive for corona... LIVES MATTER!!!!!!!

Trump having COVID is just used to divert attention from the other negative news about him and Melania ($0 tax, Proud Boys Comment, CNN recording of Melania). Also, it is an excuse to avoid the next two debates. Vote him out!!

This is Trump’s out from getting hammered in the election...step down to “focus on his health...”

Great time to buy...In a week or so, when the POTUS and FLOTUS are doing fine it will 🚀
