Donnie Dithered and People Died

Fifty thousand people. That's how many would not have died if Trump had listened to scientists instead of his infamous gut. More Americans died in the pandemic than were killed in Vietnam because Trump was engaging in his baseless conspiracy theories.

Trump failed to act.

If he had acted two weeks earlier, 54,000 people wouldn't have died. A week earlier, 36,000 people. All dead because Dimbulb Donnie was more worried about the stock market than the lives of American citizens.

But he thinks that he and his son-in-law, the Prince of Merde, are doing a heckuvajob.

Well, we now have a feeling why Trump and his party aren't taking the pandemic seriously:

The effects of COVID-19 on the health of racial and ethnic minority groups is still emerging; however, current data suggest a disproportionate burden of illness and death among racial and ethnic minority groups.

And this:

Neighborhoods with high concentrations of black and Latino people, as well as low-income residents, suffered the highest death rates, while some wealthier areas — primarily in Manhattan — saw almost no deaths, according to the new data, which was published by the New York City Health Department.

The findings reinforced earlier reports showing that black and Latino New Yorkers were dying at twice the rate of white residents when the data is adjusted for age.

Given Trump's long history of racism, one would have to be exceedingly generous to the Grifter-in-Chief to not believe that, as soon as he was told that CoVid-19 was hammering minorities hardest, that's when he shifted gears and went full-bore on encouraging opening up everything.
