... it's Superspreader!
In a series of phone calls, President Donald Trump floated a bizarre idea last week from his presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — he wanted to rip open his dress shirt after discharge to reveal a Superman symbol beneath, The New York Times reported Saturday.
He “wanted to appear frail at first,” people with knowledge of the conversations told the Times. But underneath his dress shirt, Trump would wear a Superman T-shirt, which he would reveal by ripping open the top layer of his clothing. He ultimately opted not to go ahead with the stunt. It wasn’t immediately clear why. (our emphasis)
The clown was acting as though a virus that's killed more than 214,000 Americans -- that he contracted and refuses to take precautions or responsibility for spreading -- was just another opportunity for him to counterfactually imply that he's a superior human and a "winner." Along with his deeply insulting, ignorant and dangerous message "Don't be afraid of COVID," the idea that this malignant narcissist would consider pulling a stunt like this is shocking but not surprising. And you know his twindling cult would eat it up.
Of course, word of this got Twitter going:
Trump seems determined to run on his absolute superhuman ability to never learn anything.

Superman stands for everything Donald Trump is not.

Superman is also:
- An undocumented immigrant
- A journalist
Our sentiments exactly:
I am just devastated that they wouldn't let him go through with this https://t.co/yWhBdPMKAZ
