The Current Trump view is that 200,000 deaths is a win, this is the position the righties will be following.
Never mind that at least 50% is due to Trumps incompetence.
Half the Republicans are on the go back to work and kill more people bandwagon.
Skippyeroo like the rest of them is complaining about waving arms and supporting his side killing people.
Exactly, he's gaslighting his supporters to think that 200,000 deaths is the best outcome because if he did nothing there would be 2.2 million deaths and the models suggest the 200,000 deaths at the higher end of the scale, so rather than doing a better job he's just moved the goal posts so the least amount of effort he puts in will allow him to say he's saved over 2 million lives.
It's just insane.
In reality, his inaction, his refusal to even attempt a coordinated national response and get supplies where they're needed, rather than having states bid against each other to purchase equipment from the private sectors, thinking they've secured it only to have their orders cancelled by higher bidders, or the Federal Government taking the equipment and putting it somewhere else is costing lives.
And that's ignoring all the claims that people warning of the dangers of the Virus and Trump not taking it seriously being a hoax, Trump downplaying the effect of the virus and the 15 to 0 cases in a week, it'll go away bu April or warmer weather blah blah.
Trump's response is what you'd expect from China, what you'd expect from the USSR during Chernobyl, not the leader of the free world.
And it's now costing the US President that title and possibly even superpower status.
Other countries are not turning to the US for help. They see that the leadership is incompetent and unable to deal with the crisis within their own borders. The US are going to other nations for help. We know this is true because other nations are saying it and Trump is saying that he's not. He's lying, again, to protect his image, and it's not working. Individual states are even having to reach out for help because they're not getting any from their President. wtf!?
Germany is taking the lead and their chancellor will replace the US President as the leader of the free world.
Trump has already seen to the G8 and even G20 nations not even involving the US in their decisions. He's not just killing his own people but he's causing irreparable damage to the country on the global scale.
Sure his supporters will claim this is "America First Baby!" but they have no understanding of what they're talking about.
The US is facing more than 1 crisis at the moment. They have COVID-19 and Donald Trump, and half of them are cheering their way to failure.
It's so obvious to anyone looking in and it boggles the mind that those who support Trump can't see it.
