Trump Spreads Lies About The Flu, Compares It To COVID-19
Donald Trump is really trying to divide the country, taking even more of a staunch position as he continues to downplay the effects of COVID-19, despite testing positive for the virus last week.
When the pandemic was just starting out, people argued that the virus would not be a big deal and that it resembles the common flu. However, after over 200,000 people died in the United States alone, it’s safe to say that the people downplaying how serious this pandemic is were misinformed. Despite the severity of this situation being clear a long time ago, Trump is still arguing that COVID-19 should not be taken seriously, comparing it to the flu and providing misinformation to sway people onto his side.

In his latest tweet, the President claims that over 100,000 people die every year from the common flu, which is not true. The CDC reports that between 24,000 and 62,000 people die annually from influenza.
“Flu season is coming up! Many people every year, sometimes over 100,000, and despite the Vaccine, die from the Flu,” claimed Trump. “Are we going to close down our Country? No, we have learned to live with it, just like we are learning to live with Covid, in most populations far less lethal!!!”
This is exhausting. Why can’t the President just take this pandemic seriously, for once? People are dying and America has had a ridiculously bad response throughout it all.

Jennifer Lopez was caught in a dramatic showdown with paparazzi during a recent Hamptons getaway with her children. The star’s frustration was palpable as she demanded photographers leave her and her kids alone, shouting, “Get away from me and the kids! Go away!”
The intense moment was shared by The Neighborhood Talk on Instagram, where Lopez’s fans quickly rallied to her defense. One commenter noted, “Y’all clearly hear her say ‘get away from me and the kids’… she’s just protecting her children.” Another added, “The internet’s been so harsh on her lately. Give her a break. This new generation is just weird.”
The incident followed a heartwarming Instagram post by Lopez featuring a sweet photo of her and her twins, Max and Emme, captioned, “My whole heart.” While Lopez was enjoying the East Coast, her husband, Ben Affleck, remained in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Affleck’s daughter, Violet, recently visited Lopez on the East Coast.
In related news, Lopez has canceled her This Is Me… Live tour, which was set to include 30 summer shows. The cancellation, rumored to be due to sluggish ticket sales, was framed by Lopez as a need to focus on family. She assured fans, “I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time.”
