PS/ Do *not* get it twisted: at the time Trump made this proposal, he had been *fully* briefed—repeatedly, over and over, for two months—on the death toll that would result from not imposing non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) like physical distancing and stay-at-home orders.
PS2/ We need to still have the collective conscience in America to be able to understand that what Trump was proposing to Fauci—and the reason Fauci couldn& #39;t even comprehend what Trump was saying—was a de facto Final Solution for old/infirm people for the sake of the Motherland.
PS3/ Crimson Contagion, the NCMI Report, Navarro& #39;s Memo, briefings by Azar, the Coronavirus Task Force, his PDBs, the NSC-WH economists& #39; paper—most Americans don& #39;t get *how many times* Trump had been told "millions could die" when he proposed letting COVID-19 "wash over" America.
PS4/ If you don& #39;t understand by now the *limitless height* of the mountain of US bodies Trump would climb to get reelected and maintain his invulnerability to lawsuits/indictment, I feel bad for you. *Anyone* who thinks the captain of this boat cares if you live or die is a fool.
UPDATE/ I just realized that I neglected to write, in the first tweet in this thread, that THE WASHINGTON POST reports that Trump has *repeatedly* proposed this insane plot—always privately—over the last few weeks. Apparently he doesn& #39;t understand why he can& #39;t let *millions* die.
