Trumps halfwitted response to dealing with the corona virus seems like nothing short of deliberate negligence. It's not too great a jump for me to think that he actually wants people to die, a macabre culling the herd to get rid of the unworthy.

This would result in fewer elderly people, less poor people with underlying illnesses due to their lack of healthcare. These are the sort of folks Trump would detest anyway, so if he gets rid of a few thousands or tens of thousands, of us, then we aren't needing gov't services and support and he had more money to throw at his pet projects. Morbid thoughts, but Trump has shown himself capable of other atrocities.
