Trump has weaponised covid-19 and he is going to take out a hell of a lot of people as a result...
Fired the pandemic response team and did nothing to replace them. Check.
Refused the WHO test. Check.
No concrete federal plans in place to ensure that citizens have access to free testing or healthcare if they are exposed to the virus. Check.
Continuing to tell his very stupid base that there is nothing to worry about. Check.
Holding his stupid rallies where some of the most vulnerable to the virus go in their stupid MAGA uniforms to adore the fucker, because his ego needs the constant worship. Check.
The level of irresponsibility is deadly and intentional, no one is this incompetent, not even Trump. I have been trying to figure out why this administration has decided on a strategy that will literally kill off part of his base, and I think I have got it. The economy is tanking and the worse this covid-19 crisis gets the more he will be able to blame the economic downturn on the virus not his handling of the economy, as he heads into November. ‘Not my fault gov. Honest. It was the Chinese wot done it.’
Couple this with the fact that people tend to pull together in times of crisis, and as Americans are generally rather risk averse, they will find it hard to risk changing leadership in the midst of a massive national emergency. After all, that is why Bush Jr got another term, isn’t it, when by all logical measures of competence Kerry should have been sitting in the WH… heh.
Weaponising the virus to try and win a second term, when the economy is tanking, and damn the consequences? Yeah, I can see that.
