The whole of New Zealand has been trolling Trump supporters over Covid-19
You may have seen how Donald Trump recently took aim at New Zealand’s Covid-19 strategy, saying the country was experiencing a ‘big surge’ in cases.
‘It’s over for New Zealand! Everything’s gone, it’s all over,’ said the so-called president.
It didn’t go unnoticed in New Zealand – where they have had remarkably few Covid-19 cases – and neither did this tweet by someone called @LockdownNo in a discussion about Covid-19 policies in the UK, US (and New Zealand).
It didn’t exactly set the internet alight but it was a tweet too far for the good people of New Zealand, who responded to the ‘hell hole’ tag in the best way possible.
They did this (as highlighted by the good people of BoredPanda).

God it’s awful living in this #NZHellhole. Transparent leadership from a prime minister that believes in democracy, compassion and science. What a tyrant. Anyway this is the view from close to my house. Disgusting. pic.twitter.com/hQplU8uhV1

This man tried to swim to freedom from our island gulag. The authorities caught him and plunged him alive in molten bronze. His body is displayed as a warning to others. #NZHellhole pic.twitter.com/MrKKwfTocF
