As bad and evil as Donald Trump has been, no one in their right mind would imagine that the 45th President would commit negligent homocide.
Bob Woodward’s new book with taped statements of his interviews with Trump show that the President knew how serious the CoronaVirus Pandemic was early on, but went ahead and kept it from the American people, supposedly to avoid a “panic”, which is preposterous on its face!
Trump has been promoting chaos, anarchy, and mayhem for the entire time since he announced for President in June 2015. He is not unwilling to stir anxiety.
But to keep the truth from the American people, and attack mask wearing, and refuse to allow scientists to lead policy, Donald Trump has not only committed an impeachable case on its own, but also a human rights crime against 200,000 Americans who have died, and the many tens of thousands who will still die. This is not even counting those who get very ill, suffer, but fortunately recover.
Donald Trump has no ethics, morals, decency, empathy, or compassion for human suffering!
And the Woodward book shows he has no sense of white entitlement, and unwillingness to understand how African Americans feel about their plight of degradation which has gone on without pause for 400 years, and now is making them, along with Latino Americans, the largest number of victims of the pandemic.
It is impossible to imagine, under any circumstance, that after this revelation, along with many others in the last month, including the book of Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, that the President could possibly win a second term honestly.
That would require a total mental illness takeover of a majority of the American people, and that cannot be conceived to occur!
But by all justification, the Republican Party in Congress should be going to the White House and demanding and pressuring Trump to resign, just as courageous Republican leaders, including Barry Goldwater, Hugh Scott, and John Rhodes did in August 1974 regarding Richard Nixon.
But so far, not a peep has come from Republicans, and what it means is that by all moral standing, the Republican Party needs to be destroyed as an entity, as it has besmirched the history of the party that gave us some outstanding Presidents, and members of Congress, and state government leaders.
There is a dire need for total reconstruction and reorganization of those decent Republicans and conservatives not in office, but having a conscience.
Donald Trump needs to be held accountable in a court of law, for the mass deaths on his watch without any rationale, and to spend the rest of his life in prison, and no pardon by Mike Pence should be considered if he succeeded by resignation of Trump to a short term Presidency!
Mike Pence is also guilty of the crimes that Trump perpetrated, as he had to know the truth about the CoronaVirus Pandemic, and was totally a sycophant!
There is no excuse for either Donald Trump or Mike Pence, the worst combination President and Vice President in all of American history!
Yes, Trump tried to keep the truth from the American people but let’s remember that a significant segment of the American people really wanted to believe him. Scientists, all along, had been sounding the alarm bells. More significant is the fact that he tried to discredit the people and institutions that were telling the truth about the virus. The result of that particular fear mongering is close to 200,000 deaths. The greatest tragedy of Trump’s presidency is to finish off the job the Republican party started in distrust of government and professionals.
Yes, Fred, great comment, so accurate!
Thanks!
LOL! At his rally last night, Trump compared himself to Churchill and FDR!
Only thing Scrump is comparable to is doggie poo!
Ha! Ha! Good one, Rustbelt!
Perfect song that has helped me get through these trying times.
