    The rona got him.

    • josephine says:

      My exact thought. But why didn’t he get the tooth removed and replaced before that happened? Ugh, what a mess these people are, so busy stomping for evil that they can’t even take care of themselves in the very basic of ways.

    • (TheOG) Jan90067 says:

      EVERY time I hear his name, all I can think of is “GOOBER”. He is the ULTIMATE Stupid Goober.

      And yes, teeth falling out painlessly is due to covid attacking the nerves and the vascular system in the mouth.

      Hope he ends up toothless, the a$$wipe.

  2. Jay says:

    Couldn’t have happened to a better guy. This is the genius who went maskless constantly, contracted coronavirus over the summer, and reportedlyly called his staff into his office to announce his diagnosis IN PERSON, and refused to isolate. Despicable. I hope all of his other teeth fall out, too.

  3. Sandy says:

    I’d have dated woody Harrelson and John Cusack in the 90s too 😂 not going to lie.

    That tooth did look a bit like a crown (ie a sheath) , but what was that brown part? Was that ROT? UGH.

    • Reece says:

      I don’t think it was a crown. if it is then the whole leftover tooth went with it.

    • derps says:

      I think the brown part is actually just a shadow. It looks like the whole tooth came out including roots. In between the roots, his tongue is in shadow.

      If I’m right, then it’s the ‘rona for sure.

  4. schmootc says:

    The teeth falling out scares me more than anything else about the virus. It’s definitely one of my recurring nightmares. My Dad got upper dentures a few years ago and it really sounded awful, not to mention horribly expensive. Yep, still staying in my house as much as possible.

    • Zaya says:

      That’s my recurring nightmare….losing teeth

      • Janice Hill says:

        A lot of dream analysts believe that teeth falling out in a dream is a pun on the fear of losing face—being embarrassed publicly.

    • Christin says:

      Co-signing all of this. I desperately want to keep my teeth. Natural teeth truly aid our quality of life.

    • Tiffany says:

      My late grandmother got her denture in her early 60’s. But she was a smoker and did not go to the dentist on the regular, but still, I always keep a steady appointment and quit smoking so I don’t round like her.

      Losing my teeth really is the scariest thing for me. It just, freaks me out.

    • The Recluse says:

      I have had nightmares in which my teeth just crumble out of my mouth, whole chunks falling out into the sink. I hate those dreams. Needless to say, I am doing all I can to avoid this virus. I don’t want to die. I don’t want to kill anyone. And I don’t want to get one of these horrible side effects/long term problems from it.

  5. Reece says:

    NOPE NOPE no no no no no no nope nope no
    nope nope no no NO NO NO no
    NOOOOOOOO Why did I click that??

  6. Mindy_Dopple says:

    That was terrifying, I also have dreams or nightmares about my teeth falling out – however I’m 32 and need braces so maybe it is a dream? Either way, the way he chews it or moves it around in his mouth is HORRIFYING.

    • Emm says:

      My husband and I were on the floor watching this last night. We are not in the same reality/universe that I was born into, we have been transported to some alternate hell-scape, upside-down. The fact that he keeps talking afterwords?!?!? The thread I read last night also had a tweet that had the google home page and someone looking up “how to unsee…”. I hope every other tooth falls out along with the rest of his hair and then he throws a clot. Is that evil? These people have made me think such evil thoughts. He actually blamed wearing a mask on catching it.

  7. Miranda says:

    Well, at least now he can blend in with the rest of the redneck nazis at the next Trump Rally.

  8. Insomniac says:

    I didn’t even realize I have major tooth squick until I saw that video this morning and nearly gagged. Nasty.

  9. original_kellybean says:

    Did he SWALLOW it after it fell out?! WTF?

    Also, my teeth falling out has been a recurring nightmare for me for years. I’m not sure how I would deal with it actually happening. Ugh.

  10. Emily says:

    These Republicans are so evil they are literally rotting. Mike Pence’s fly, KellyAnne Conway’s face, Mitch McConnel’s hands, Jared’s transformation into a horror movie doll and now this.

    Their insides are showing.

  11. lucy2 says:

    Ewwww. I wonder if it was a false tooth or something, or he had covid and it just dropped right out of his gums like that. Ick.
    I’ve never had the teeth falling out dream, but I repeatedly dream that something bad is happening and I have to dial 911, and I never can.

    • schmootc says:

      That’s my other recurring dream. Usually I’m being chased by some unknown entity. Why is it so difficult to dial three stupid numbers on a phone?!

    • Christin says:

      I have found my recurring dream (nightmare) theme pals right here! Tooth loss and having to make an escape have been two long-time themes for my bad dreams.

      I have another theme that is more confusing than scary. I sometimes dream that I my HS graduating class from years ago has been called back to repeat a couple of grades.

      The brain and its dreams are an amazing thing. I wonder as we age if dreams and reality begin to become more indistinguishable. I have such realistic dreams sometimes that I have to think about whether it really happened!

      • Jay says:

        I have this one every so often – it is surprisingly common. I dream that I get a call from my high school (it’s always high school, never university) that there was a mistake, I’m a credit short, and I have to go back to high school in order to move on with my life.

        I also occasionally have nightmares about being stranded in the middle of the ocean with no shoreline in sight (shudder). Never dreamed about teeth falling out before, but maybe now I will…

      • Lucy2 says:

        I have that but with college, not high school. I often dream that I have to go back to college and live in the dorms, but have to figure out what to do with my furniture, my house, my cat, etc. it’s so weird!

  12. Mabs A'Mabbin says:

    You will lose teeth. Hopefully not all (if you take care of em). But it is a scary and awful fact of life. And I’m not rich enough to properly replace. But we’ll not be delivering a press conference when our falsies fail.

    • Other Renee says:

      Omg I hope not! My parents are in their 80s and have all their own teeth still. That lunatic is going to lose more teeth. Not every covid victim loses teeth or hair or even has long term after effects. But since he’s lost this one (and maybe more already), he’s probably going to lose more.

      • Mabs A'Mabbin says:

        You’re parents are very lucky. Most people have either great gums or great teeth and end up losing some because of that fact. Those with great everything should count their blessings! As women, once we go through pregnancies and menopause, shit gets real lol.

  13. Coco says:

    I feel sorry for the dentist who will have to see him now.

  14. Kco says:

    It looks like his dental implant tried to run the fuck away! Karma is a bitch, and she’s my friend

  15. GuestwithCat says:

    I am absolutely not going to look at this. One of my top front teeth is a reconstruction after an accident. It’s not quite a crown, not quite an implant, but some weird Frankenstein hybrid my dentist cobbled together after I had an accident as a teenager and before we had methods to save teeth or do good implants like we have now. I’ve seen enough.

    What gets me is all the weird horrible stuff happening to the Republicans lately and they’re not even embarrassed. There was the fly on Pence. Then Rudy’s press conference at a landscaping company, plus the gravy running down his face and then the farts. Mitch McConnell’s blackened hands. Now this. It’s surreal. It’s like a zombie apocalypse.

    Any one of those things happening to me would have me so embarrassed I wouldn’t come out of the house for months. But these guys just roll merrily along as long as they can destroy the country and “own a few libs” while they’re at it. SMH

    • Insomniac says:

      It’s seriously like they’re actually decaying in front of us. I’m a horror writer and have no idea how I can compete with this real-life horror show.

      • Anna says:

        lol @insomniac I’m with you on this! 🙂 Maybe time to just report the facts since the truth reads like a horror story.

  16. emmy says:

    That was HORRIFYING! WTF? It’s like Death Becomes Them, the entire party is looking like their deal with Isabella Rossellini is turning sour!

  17. Juniper says:

    I’m in the process of getting some extensive dental work done, and this is a nightmare of mine.

  18. Sophie says:

    I saw the tooth video last night and it will haunt me for the rest of my days.

  19. Donna B. says:

    😆😆😆

  20. square_bologna says:

    I’m not gonna watch it. Nope nope nope. I’ve just replaced all my rotten/broken/missing back teeth with implants and I hope to hell I don’t have to replace any more. 😱

  21. JT says:

    Not that I’m in any debating teeth falling out because of corona, but that looked like an implant crown to me.

  22. Cari says:

    It’s a crown. A pfm ( percelain fused to metal) crown. I can see the metal edge, and it looks like it has a post in it, so that is why it looks like the tooth is missing completely. The post inserts into the root, would be flush with the gum line.
    I am a dental assistant and have seen it a happen a thousand times.

  23. Boo says:

    Yes it looks very like a bridge almost identical to the one I have in the exact same place. Its called Maryland bridge and the dark bit you see is the metal that atttaches to the other tooth to keep it in. Mine falling out is my worst nightmare.

  24. AL says:

    Wow, that was… something. Even with all the comments saying it’s likely a crown, that was… I really didn’t need to see that in my lifetime. Just.. I hate getting dental work.. it’s so expensive and uncomfortable and scary and ughh, I should maybe go floss right now…
