People who couldn't handle the mild inconvenience of social distancing are somehow going to endure the far more immense disruption of getting randomly shot by their neighbors?

TRUMP: I've settled 8 wars. I don't know that I'm getting it. I've been hearing about a peace prize and I'm here to represent our country. But I did settle 8 wars.
