Some of the nicest people I’ve ever known, friends, family, teachers, etc, have expressed flippantly “I hope Trump drops dead of Covid.”

I always laugh it off and mention that I hope they’re joking, but they continue to rationalize their position: “I know it’s morbid, but the world would be better off without Trump.”

I argued that Trump is just a symptom of a larger problem in Washington, and that Trump being gone wouldn’t solve anything. We’d still have the same problems that brought us Trump.

What are your thoughts?
