45 praises WALMART as patriotic? [View all]

Trump's praise of Walmart during his overlong bullshit press conference is disgusting, imo.

I hope Joe is aware.

For all Americans know, much of what the Walmart family imports from China is contaminated by coronavirus. If its products are not, why are we told to sanitize surfaces, wear rubber gloves in pubic settings, along with washing hands? Coronavirus can exist on inanimate surfaces for up to nine days, according to medical experts.

Not one question was directed to the Walmart spokesman about this.

Drive through testing? That's the least Walmart can do.

Giving Walmart parking lots to the poor to park in? They've already done that for years.

For all we know, Walmarts are becoming coronavirus hotspots across this country.

I'd be surprised if Walmart stores are not exposure sites.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
