Trump fired the United States' pandemic response team out of childish spite

because it was assembled during by Obama's administration.

We had nobody to go over to China when the cases of pneumonia began being reported to help contain this virus and stop it from spreading to the United States.

Trump's incompetence is criminal.

Maybe not Biden himself (though as Obama's VP he is the best positioned person to do so), maybe not Pelosi or Schumer, but certainly any and all rank-and-file House members/Senators, former governors (current ones need some CDC/HHS cooperation, and Trump's petty as fuck), former NatSec and HHS appointees.

THIS. WILL. BE. WORSE. THAN. IT. NEEDED. TO. BE. BECAUSE. OF. TRUMP'S. DUMB. DECISIONS.

Americans. His obsessive hate is madness, a mental illness that consumes him to the point of insanity.

Richard Branson: Trump vowed to destroy 5 people who refused to help him

edit to add, revenge for Obama's jokes at the White House Foreign Correspondents Dinner. That is why the turd must undo EVERYTHING Obama.

Let's not act surprised here, we knew all along something like this was a possibility. Sadly, it did happen while this narcissistic idiot was in office.

Don't get me started on the courts being stacked with RW judges. We have a generation of stupidity in our future.

12. Involuntary manslaughter

Is an unintentional killing that results from criminally reckless or negligent act(s). In some cases, as when one is President of the United States, a duty to act is implied in law, in which case failure to rescue can constitute the requisite recklessness or negligence underlying an involuntary manslaughter conviction.

He shouldn’t have roasted the man-baby at the White House correspondents dinner. The thin skinned snowflake will never stop seeking revenge, no matter how many Americans suffer.
