Remember, according to credible analysts, 9 out of every 10 US coronavirus deaths could have been avoided if we entered lockdown 2 weeks earlier. 60% would have been avoided if we entered it 1 week earlier. But the president was in denial at that time, suppressing the facts.
This is the most costly and egregious failure of judgment in terms of US lives lost in modern memory and it does not take into consideration the economic catastrophe that will impoverish tens of millions of Americans that was also the result of grotesque leadership failure.
Trump is a traitor. He is corrupt. He is incompetent. He is a racist. He is a serial sex abuser. And now, it is clear, he has the blood of tens of thousands on his hands and the pain of hundreds of millions will be his legacy. The US will recover. History's view of him will not.
