President Trump won't have to recover from COVID.

COVID will have to recover from President Trump. #MAGA

What does that even mean?

COVID19 doesn't have human qualities. Containing the pandemic isn't that complicated - but convincing those who are reckless & irresponsible to follow basic behavioral guidelines is, evidently, very difficult.

COVID19 versus GOP

It's clear who won that battle!#GOPSuperSpreaders

So, Trump is more sickening than COVID.

Refreshing honesty, Matt.

It will certainly feel disgusted and ashamed of where it's been.

He's not Chuck Norris. He's an obese 74 year old.

Matt Gaetz recycling Chuck Norris jokes, which are really just recycled Yakov Smirnoff jokes, because of course Republicans are never more than two degrees removed from Russia. https://t.co/tiCrXTqY6E

Matt Gaetz made an out-of-date Chuck Norris joke to suggest that Trump is stronger than #COVID19.

I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that Bruce Lee killed Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon...

Everyone he's come in contact with us at risk. EVERY. ONE.

This is a disgraceful tweet but I wouldn't expect anything else from you.

Just a reminder that Matt Gaetz still doesn't take this pandemic seriously. https://t.co/OM4I1iNT88

You think it's a badge of honor to get Covid & survive? Pls tell that to ur constituents who have lost loved ones from it & those (like my Republican mother in FL) who haven't been out of their house since March.Pls tell that to those who didn't get the fancy care & Rx POTUS got.

It the near future, this example will be cited in textbooks as a classic display of cult leader worship — as if the laws of science don't apply to Trump. Not surprisingly, it's also an insanely irresponsible message for anyone in a leadership position.#MattGaetz #Cultwhorship pic.twitter.com/Zjg3E0Yt0c

Ok, Matt. Here's a joke for you.

Q: Why won't the parasitic virus attack @MattGaetz?
