In response to the current coronavirus pandemic and the way the American people are handling it, President of the United States Donald Trump sent out a tweet meant to remind the scared and vulnerable populace of this great nation that they are, indeed, a resilient and determined lot.
Instead of bothering with, oh, say, 52 tweets sent out in one morning to help us shore up our resolve and get through the next several months of more quarantining and self-isolation, Trump this time kept his message to the American people limited to five words and a very effective use of ALL CAPS.
“The American People are WARRIORS!” he tweeted.
Of course, everyone made the same 3-1 NBA joke on Twitter, but that doesn’t make it any less hilarious.
Are we, as a nation, about to blow a lead against the coronavirus because we’re reopening states too early? Possibly! Others will argue we never had a lead to begin with.
At any rate, calling people “warriors” just sets them up to be unnecessarily martyred by using false military narratives. We’re not heroes or warriors, and no one should have to sacrifice their health and safety in order to get a hair cut or see a ballgame.
Honestly, the only thing you can do with a tweet like this is make jokes.
