The antibody cocktail given to Trump costs $100,000. If every new case gets the treatment as Trump promises, at 50,000 cases a day, it would cost $5 billion a day or $300 billion for Nov and Dec. Republicans won't give the unemployed $600 a week, they won't give you this "cure"

@JerryFalwellJr @HillaryClinton Jerry Falwell doesn't know recent history or old history. The Russian probe started when a Trump campaigner bragged to an Australian. And the US colluded with Russia to save the free world from Hitler, in sharp contrast to Trump's collusion with Russia to win an election.
