Trumps death toll; A case study of how narcissists kill.

Trump has already, indirectly killed many Americans. Farmers have committed suicide. Trump has inflamed racists and they have killed people. People have died at the border because of Trumps policies. Now Trump is now indirectly killing people with his failed response to the virus. Trump will never shed a tear, no matter how many of us die.

Many of us understood from day one Trump was a full blown narcissist. We knew the definition of a narcissist. Trump voters completely ignored it. We knew putting a narcissist in charge of the US would lead to a catastrophic event. An economic or foreign policy disaster, it was easy to predict. I have to admit, I could not have predicted it would be a virus that may set off a catastrophic event.

Trump is getting good advise from experts on how to handle the virus. He is also getting bad advise from people who are not experts. A narcissist does distinguish between the two. A narcissist will take the good or bad advise by how it will profit the narcissist.

If an expert gives Trump good advise that will save thousands of lives, but may hurt the economy, make him look bad. Trump will let those people die and feel nothing. The opposite is also true. If Trump gets bad advise that would kill thousands, but make him look good on the economic front, he would let those people die and not feel a thing.

This is how narcissists kill. This is why you never, under any circumstances put a narcissist in a position of great power. It can easily lead to mass death.

Sources for annual deaths from the top 10 causes; cars, guns, diseases (not natural age-related illnesses), accidents, etc.
I'm sure they are out there somewhere...

If protecting life, liberty and happiness are important, our total death rates for avoidable fatalities, is worth knowing.
Political parties should be addressing the totals, not the cherry-picked rates that support their underlying messaging of blaming the victims.

The US death rates for avoidable causes, is ridiculous.
