"Trump has disqualified himself from ever being elected president again simply by virtue of that single, solitary decision while in office..."

Sho' thing Mr. Biden!

You left out that part about Fauci and ms head scarf cohort scaring everyone with dire predictions,

You also forgot to mention $2.00 gas and no wars, China backing off and a few other details insignificant to you, but not to most of us.

All of that makes your article or post BS....worthless to any thinking person.

Cool story-

The governors were behind the shutdowns and not all of them shut down.

Getting basic material and well known facts wrong doesn’t do much for the author’s integrity.

One thing missing-upon re-opening to this day-the right to work states fared much better economically.

Even Florida beset by docked cruise ships and stunted tourism had/has lower unemployment than most.

If Red Stink really believed such a decision disqualifies a president, then they should also expect Biden to step down. First, though, they communists at Red Stink should read the US Constitution and not believe everything they think.

And ic he hadn’t and millions died then he would be lambasted for that

We demand presidents be perfect. And then wonder why they aren’t

Does anybody honestly think had his attorneys seen it, they’d have said, “Yes, Mr. President, we think that’s a really swell post; put that jazz up ASAP”?

That’s kind of the point Doea anyone think the leading Republican candidate, previous President should have to vet his communications to his constituents to make sure it will be OK with a DC Judge and a hack Biden special counsel. Does that sound like a free and fair election to you?

I don’t think that one thing disqualifies him, but it’s the multitude of things along with it that does.

While governors started opening up, Trump insisted he had the power to keep the states closed down.

He makes poor choices in choosing appointments. How will that change the second time around?

He spent trillions unnecessarily.

He signed an Act that allowed early voting, then told his followers not to vote early.

His ego has gotten out of control, and his Truth Social posts sound kind of crazy.

Some of his legal troubles are of his own making, and his past dishonesty and foolishness makes it difficult to think he has integrity now.

I wouldn’t agree that Trump is “disqualified”. He did a lot of very good work, and then made a very bad mistake.

Elections are usually decided on a “least of evils” basis, and Trump is still greatly preferable to Biden.

I do not at all think that Trump is the best the Republican party can offer and I hope he isn’t nominated again.

Seriously? His own making? Yep, he was a Russian spy.....

His past dishonesty? Yep, he never owned up to having two scoops of ice cream.....

Lack of integrity? Yep, he didn't start any wars and fought human trafficking. What a horrible man.

Be gone troll.

The study estimating 2.2 million deaths in the US was bogus and known early on. However, it didn’t stop anyone from using it.

Recycling debunked talking points, never mind some of those being the opposite of reality, won’t suddenly make them credible.

Without definition those words can be interpreted a number of ways? A sinister mind will see it as a threat! A normal mind sees it as queue confusion....

Can somebody tell me what the editor thought this was supposed to mean?
