Trump on Coronavirus

Trump has said some pretty brave things about COVID-19 in the past few days. I'd like to share them and my reactions to them.
Team Trump posted on Facebook and Twitter, saying that there was a cure for COVID-19, hydroxychloroquine (hcq). He's been pushing that this has been a cure for a while, but today he "officially" said it on Twitter and Facebook. What was their response? They deleted the posts. I will predict that they will receive some backlash from Trump supporters on their platform. Even though this obviously isn't true, and obviously would've led to many injuries, they will still support Trump. There was a congressional hearing that I mentioned in one of my previous blogs regarding many tech monopolies, including Facebook. Facebook was accused of removing posts such that whichever political party they supported would get an advantage. Now Facebook has done that exact thing in their perspective. I wonder what they're going to do, how they are going to react. 
Trump also said that children are completely immune to COVID-19. I don't understand why he would say this. I hope that a man as successful as him will be educated enough in current topics to the point that he at least knows that COVID-19 may not be fatal to kids, but will be very harmful. Maybe he does know that, and he's lying. But why would he lie? Why would he encourage kids to not be afraid of COVID-19? Maybe he just wants schools to open. Maybe he wants everything to return to normal. 
But this is also confusing. Trump has said he wants to delay the elections because mail-in ballots will be extremely "rigged". If things went back to normal, then these ballots wouldn't be rigged. If he wants to delay the election, that means that he thinks he's going to lose now. He made no excuses for the election when he was running against Clinton in 2016. Trump's thought process is weird. Perhaps after changing his title to the Republican Party, he has decided to barricade himself from his old life. 
All those celebrities friends he once had are definitely lost, besides the few such as Kanye. 
That's it for today. 
Thank you for reading.

Being Short

Being short sucks doesn't it? Every time you talk to your peers you have to look up. It hurts the neck. Doesn't it suck walking through a bunch of people and only seeing the back of the person in front of you, not what's up ahead?  Don't you hate it when you really like to play basketball but you're short, making it so that you can't get some rebounds or shoot some shots that you could make if you were taller? You have to take more effort on getting space between you and the defender when you could just shoot the ball from wherever if you were taller.  Being tall gives you more confidence. You can appear more attractive. By social norms, the boyfriend should be taller than the girlfriend. That kind of sucks, because when you're short there are very few that are shorter than you. That's my rant! I am Albert Einstein.

Muscles and Working Out

I am seriously at a lack of ideas for blog-writing. So today, I'll talk about something I have only started doing, working out. I gotta say, working out consistently has been one of my long-time goals. I remember last summer I started working out everyday, but that only lasted for 11 days. It was interrupted because I had to go to a camp. After that, I never found the determination to start working out. I would suddenly work out one day but those days only came once a month, maybe even less. One of these days happened during quarantine. But it wasn't like the others. I kept working out. I don't know why I kept a routine on during quarantine but not during any other time. Perhaps it was because online school gave me a lot more time to do things I wanted to do. Either way, I started working out. I adjusted my work out based on things that I saw on youtube. For the first month I only focused on upper body. Only now am I starting to do lower body. Of course during this time...

Current Stuff

Some interesting stuff has happened recently. Mainly one. There's a teen in Kenosha, Wisconsin. More accurately, he drove to Kenosha Wisconsin, then proceeded to shoot and kill two BLM protesters. Here's what happened, based on what I know. He drove over from his house with an assault rifle. He was treated as a friend by police and was given water, probably because he was one of the few who actually supported them there. They saw him with an assault rifle. He then killed two people. The police of course heard this, but didn't act on it. He then walked back into his car and drove home. Now he's facing charges and a ton of backlash. I know this will also impact his college. What I just don't know is how people are supporting someone like this. His name is Kyle Rittenhouse. He wasn't even defending himself. He doesn't live there. He drove in from his own house to  Kenosha and shot two people. Tucker Carlson and Steven Crowder have actively defended him. Carl...
