At an event for U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker, Donald Trump and his fans laughed at the ongoing devastation and destruction COVID-19 is producing, as the former president mocked the current administration for being unable to stop a global pandemic. “We need you back!” the crowd shouted to Trump, as he hinted that supporting Walker’s campaign is a step in the process towards his own political plans.

MAGAworld is calling for Donald Trump to run again in 2024, even as they continue to believe, or pretend to believe, that he actually won the 2020 election and is still President of the United States. At an event for Herschel Walker (R-GA) held at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago property, the crowd can be heard shouting that Trump is needed back in office — to which he gives a vague reply, suggesting that he does have future plans to run, and that Walker’s position in the Senate is a key part of his success.
Trump hints at possible political future after 2022: “We’re starting with a base and the base is going to be Herschel. Herschel’s going to start it and I’m going to be— and Herschel’s going to be blocking for Trump.” pic.twitter.com/ZuiiiwSdC9
“We’re starting with a base, and the base is gonna be Herschel. Herschel’s gonna start it, and I’m gonna be — Herschel’s gonna be blocking for Trump.”
Donald Trump has blamed legislators in Congress for failing to overturn the 2020 election in his favor, and keeps dropping hints that he plans to run again, but even in the same speech, while suggesting that Walker would help ‘block’ to get him re-elected, Trump led his audience in laughing over the Biden Administration’s inability to completely stop a still-mutating virus that the Trump Administration consciously chose to ignore in early days.
At a Mar-a-Lago event for Herschel Walker, Trump blamed the “China virus” for ruining his employment numbers.
The anti-vax sentiments and COVID-19 denialism that are running rampant through the right, though, are deadly, and while Trump and his fans are laughing, the pandemic is killing Americans.
