On a day the U.S. saw over 139,000 cases and at least 2,425 deaths, the ever-classy Trump
by an anonymous New York City hospital nurse who said he wanted to show "the ghastly reality" of COVID-19 deaths.
Nigh on speechless: Thanks to months of criminal-level denial, delay, extortion, ineptitude, "hoax" bullshit and then the breezy claim a U.S. coronavirus death rate of 100,000-ish would show he'd done "a very good job," Trump said Tuesday that the country could see up to 240,000 deaths - an obscenely preventable number that dwarfs the roughly 3,500 deaths in China, with over four times our population, as well as deaths in Italy and Spain. The scale of Trump's governmental failure, "so complete and so sweeping it borders on the incomprehensible," began as far back as January with a White House that was a "ghost town of scientific expertise...rudderless, blindsided, lethargic, and uncoordinated." It remains on grotesque display every day as COVID-19 spreads and Trump has "chosen to stand down, do nothing, let people die and (let) it ravage America” - especially, grotesquely, its blue states. Left to their own devices by a leader who miraculously hasn't heard about any problems with testing, states are struggling to get masks, beds, gloves, ventilators and other vital equipment from a narcissistic toddler-cum-mob-boss who's repulsively playing politics with people's lives by demanding fealty first.
