Sad story. Unfortunately over 40% + of our country does not care..

My condolences. A very heartbreaking story.

Those still alive of voting age, are they voting for trump, because even after such tragedies some people are still behind the man, or he would not have anyone at his rally’s, sorry to hear about their loss, but that’s the big question, are they angry enough to vote him out?

I can't even imagine. 😥

Were they all as obese as he is? Obesity is dangerous. Why the left keeps telling people fat is beautiful is criminal.

Covid didn't take away his livelihood. The government did.
