1. All right, friends, it's time for my semi-weekly Trump Roundup: a non-comprehensive list of the horrific things we found out about our president & his behavior this week. Let's all take a biiiig breath ... count to five ... exhale. Ready? Let's do this.
5. Trump has also blamed the WHO for not warning him earlier. In fact, at least 15 US officials were embedded with the WHO in Geneva and had access to all its information & deliberations in real time. Trump just ignored them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/04/17/trump-tells-damnable-murderous-lie/
18. The administration also found time to defy experts by a) refusing to boost inadequate soot pollution standards, and b) gutting regulations on mercury & toxic metals. Thousands more will die from respiratory problems ... during a respiratory virus. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/climate/epa-mercury-coal.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes
20.5 Oops, the 18,000 lies above are as of April 3, not Jan. 19, so they do include lots of the virus lies.
23. Also worth adding: during all this incompetence, all the lies & corruption, all the tragic, terrible suffering & death, Trump has...whined. He whines & whines, like a resentful, petulant adolescent. He is the perfect tribune for US conservatism, a movement of whiners.
