These posters were made as a parody of several statements and promises made by President Trump during the Covid-19 pandemic. They show the absurd, callous, and gross attempts to persuade the American people into believing the pandemic is either not serious, taken seriously by the government, or that sacrificing human life is necessary to maintain high profits for the stock market.
