(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Cher is once again spreading misinformation. The 73-year-old singer is claiming that President Donald Trump wants to kill her and her mother in order to save his economy. This is the latest conspiracy theory the leftwing losers are pushing. They claim that Trump would rather see older people die by the coronavirus than see another Great Depression. Well, Cher got an epic smackdown. You’ll love this.
Singer-actress Cher believes that she and her elderly mother will be “sacrificed” by President Donald Trump as his administration seeks to re-start the U.S. economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Cher, 73, expressed her displeasure at the president’s desire to see Americans return to work as soon as possible. The Oscar-winning star tweeted on Thursday that she and mother are simply “fodder” for President Trump’s “inhumane grist mill.” Her mother, Georgia Holt, is 93.
“For trump, my mom & I Are Dispensable, Fodder For His InHumane Grist Mill. Well, I HAVE Worked From 1965 To 2020 & Perhaps I’m beyond HIS Sell By Date. As 4 Mom..all she does is make everybody Laugh..yes we’re Obviously The Ones Who should be sacrificed. For donald trumps Economy,” Cher tweeted.

This latest conspiracy theory is just sick. However, the truth is we do have some hard decisions to make as a nation.
This all started when Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show.
“Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Monday that plenty of seniors would be willing to sacrifice their lives in order to preserve the economy for their grandchildren,” Market Watch reports. This was in response to President Trump saying he may end the economic shutdown on Easter, April 12.
Notice the use of the word “sacrifice.” It’s the same word Cher uses. Dan Patrick wasn’t willing to “sacrifice” his life. He was willing to “risk” his life if that meant his grandchildren would not grow up during another Great Depression. In fact, Patrick said he did not want “to sacrifice our country.”
He also said he wanted to “live smart” and take precautions. Trump and his team are tentatively planning that seniors stay quarantined, but the rest of Americans go back to work.
“No one reached out to me and said, as a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America… that all America loves for your children and grandchildren? And if that’s the exchange, I’m all in,” Patrick said.
The Lt. Gov. from Texas sees the writing on the wall. There will be many more deaths if our economy collapses. Suicide rates alone would skyrocket as they did during the Great Depression.
Americans made sure Cher got the message that this type of propaganda is just disgusting.
“@cher meanwhile you’re all for socialized medicine like Italy, right? Where currently anyone over 60 won’t be treated if they get sick! #COVIDIDIOT,” said “FedUpNow.”

“Wealthy as F celebrity claims what???? Cher has enough wealth to live any way she wants and care for family without a care in the world,” tweeted Trump’s Mustache.

Cher’s message also follows a highly publicized rant from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough in which he claimed that conservatives are “ready to euthanize” the elderly in order to save corporate profits in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
There is no doubt Joe Scarborough got his rant from Dan Patrick’s statement.
“It is the weakest among us, it is senior citizens who they’re ready to euthanize because they want Boeing’s corporate earnings to not dip too low,” Scarborough said on Thursday’s edition of Morning Joe.
On Wednesday, the president was asked during a White House coronavirus press conference how many deaths would be acceptable to him.
“How many? None. OK? How many deaths are acceptable to me? None, OK? None, if that’s your question,” the president replied.
This is just another example of the leftwing losers taking something totally out of context and then blowing it up so they can use it as propaganda to scare people. We don’t need fear at this time.
We need facts. We need Americans pulling together and putting politics aside. When this crisis is over, Americans will remember who gave them the truth. They will also remember who bread panic and fear.
