If you have heart condition it may kill you.

But if you die in a car crash before that happens, the Medical Examiner lists the cause of your death as blunt force trauma due to high speed impact and your death is included in national statistics for fatal auto accidents.

1/
This isn't some conspiracy to make auto manufactures look bad or get more money for highway safety.

You were killed by the accident. The datum is compiled with others to produce statistics regarding auto fatalities. We use that information to make driving safer.

2/
The NTSB doesn't say: 233 people went down with the plane, but only 231 people actually died in the crash. I mean, they ALL died, but one guy had cancer, so he doesn't count.

If you end up splattered all over a cornfield like Strawberry Surprise. IT'S THE CRASH WHAT DID IT.

3/
Some amped-up nut walks into a hospital ward for terminally ill children and opens up with an AR-15, it's the bullets that killed those kids.

It's not whatever affliction each child might have had.

No matter how much that might piss you off, it's gun violence.

This horseshit Trump is trying to feed you about COVID statistics is exactly that: HORSESHIT.

If you have cancer and you get COVID-19 and you die, it's the COVID THAT KILLED YOU. Same with any other condition.

Horseshit might be good for roses, but it'll kill YOU.

5/
This is nothing but pure cowardice.

This is Trump utterly and absolutely afraid to face the real numbers.

This is the craven yellow stained cowardice his supporters and his political party.

This is the very epitome of who these people are: cowards.

6/
If you, AS THE LEADER, can't face reality, cannot face the evidence of your own failure, if you are too much of goddamned simpering coward to look the actual numbers in the eye, then you are categorically incapable of taking corrective action.

You have failed as a leader.

7/
Courage, moral courage, is the ability to admit your mistakes, your failures, you weaknesses, and face them head on. To realize how those flaws affect others. And be willing to grow, to learn, to become BETTER.

Or step aside and pass the responsibility on to those who can.

8/
Those of true courage don't have to brag about their fortitude or attack others solely in order to make themselves appear greater.

COURAGE IS EVIDENT.

During my time in the military, I knew many great leaders.

Trump is not that man. He will NEVER be that man.

9/
A leader who refuses to face his own failures as a leader is a fool and a coward.

If you follow such a poltroon, sooner or later he'll kill you.

He will.

Through lack of nerve, by incompetence, or by moral failure, sooner or later, he WILL get you killed.

10/
There is no greater evidence of Trump's cowardice, of his absolute unfitness for office, than his inability to face the unadulterated numbers, to face the science, to face the evidence of his own failure head on without flinching and without prevarication.
