For decades, the entertainer Bette Midler was best known for her singing and acting abilities. Since Donald Trump took office, however, she has become far more infamous for her frequent deranged and unhinged attacks on the president on social media.
Over the weekend, Midler took her hatred for Trump to a whole new level when she called on Biden to physically assault the president during the first 2020 presidential debate.

“I have to say this to #VicePresidentBiden, who is much more conservative than I ‘Sir, on Tuesday night you will be going toe to toe with a stupid, but wily street fighter,” Midler tweeted. “My advice is ‘KICK HIM IN THE NUTS!’ And then do it again for the 200,000 people he murdered!”

The claim that Trump “murdered” 200,000 people is of course false, yet Twitter has yet to fact-check Midler for it. She was trying to blame Trump for COVID-19 deaths, of which there have been over 209,000 in the U.S., according to Worldometers. However, the virus originated in China and has killed nearly one million people al over the globe, so Trump can hardly be accused of “murdering” those who have died here.

This is far from the first time that Midler has tried to pin coronavirus deaths on Trump. Back in July, she accused Trump of being a “murderer” alongside a link to a New York Times article about his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“One of the saddest documents you will ever read. #DonaldJTrump is a murderer,” Midler wrote. “Stupid, callous uncaring; all in all the biggest catastrophe to ever befall our poor nation. I can’t stop crying.”

During another Twitter rant this past Sunday, Midler compared Trump to the murderous Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

“He knows he’s going to lose, so he’s going to cheat again, as he has done his entire life. Are we going to allow this jerk to enslave us?” she wrote. “His father died at 93: thats 20 more years before we can even HOPE to be rid of him! Think of the dictators we’ve known. He’s our #Assad.”

If the D's had been in charge it would've been far worse. Cuomo killed off how many in his state through goofy decrees. All the D bigshots, including but not limited to Biden, Queen Nancy and DeBlabio all said why worry well into February, maybe March. Trump was on it and mentioned in the SOTU while the D's were still busy with Impeachment stupidity. D's like to re-write history to suit themselves but sometimes the facts just get in the way. We still are not sure exactly how it spreads. We still have not sorted out the fact that almost anybody who died for months was listed as a Covid victim, even the guy shot in the head, the hospitals had a HUGE economic incentive to list everything as Covid related. However, facts don't matter to D's and especially those with TDS.
