A thread:

1. I think it's a mistake to blame the mess we all find ourselves in on @realDonaldTrump's stupidity. This is not to say he's not stupid. He's an absolute idiot who can barely read. He once described the ocean as "tremendously wet." He's a world class dipshit woefully

2. ill equipped to handle any crises. But often he spews nonsense not because he's stupid (which he is) but because he knows his most die hard supporters are even dumber than he is. He doesn't believe windmills cause cancer. He hated that Scotland was putting them up..

3. ...near his golf course and knew he could mobilize his army of halfwits with a dopey conspiracy. Point is we're not here because he's an imbecile. We're here because he's corrupt. He already admitted that delaying the body count helped his "numbers" but it goes deeper.

4. It gave the people who own him a chance to cash out. We've already seen a few cases in congress & there'll be more. Forget the pee tape, we MUST see his family's financial transactions around the time he was calling this a hoax and his least favorite son Eric was...

5. ...telling everyone it's a great time to invest. It's always about money and self preservation. Why won't he enact the Defense Production Act? Because big business told him no. He'd rather people die than anger those who own and protect him.

6. Then after MONTHS OF DOING NOTHING, less than nothing, spreading dangerous misinformation (also designed to help him) as the death toll rose he took "action" although that action mostly involves talking about what a great job he's done. How he's taken this seriously...

7. ...from the beginning. A grotesque lie obvious to all but the people he's conned. People who'll likely get sick from his misinformation campaign pumped into their heads 24/7 by right wing media.

8. People who even as they gasp for air will believe he's been on their side all along. And the grifters will keep on grifting.
