 It was just financed by a foundation that was originally founded by Deutsche Post (The German equivalent of US Postal Service). Okay, they might have a reason to not like Trump :)
Deutsche Post's emblem is a trumpet.
A coincidence?

Posthorn. I think that was a pretty common symbol for the post service in Europe.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould

Forgive this ignorant African. I didn't have the same educational advantages as you did.

County had 145 cases today. It's been like that since college started. And bars are still not full, so not that. Private parties.

A former White House aide who helped co-ordinate the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic has heavily criticised the president and said she plans to vote for Democrat Joe Biden.

Olivia Troye, a one-time aide to Vice President Mike Pence, said in a video released by the group Republican Voters Against Trump that the government knew by mid-February it was facing a pandemic.

"But the president didn't want to hear that because his biggest concern was that we were in an election year and how was this going to affect what he considered to be his record of success," she said.

The lifelong Republican, who served as a top organiser for the White House Coronavirus Task Force, said Mr Trump had referred to the coronavirus as a hoax in the early stages.

"The truth is he doesn't actually care about anyone else but himself," she said.
