Massive deaths, massive unemployment, massive government debt

Trump has spent the last three years bragging on his his great numbers in the markets and in unemployment. The claims of the great economy was the only positive thing that gave his presidency any legitimacy. He took full credit for a successful and rapidly growing economy handed to him by the Obama administration. Now it is all crashed and burned due to his errors of judgement.

Now thanks to Trump's inaction, slow reaction and wrong actions, we are going to face massive employment, and debt that was unimaginable a few months ago. Big government is printing big money like there is no tomorrow. Those are Trump's numbers today, if he claims responsibility for the good time numbers, he can not dodge the present numbers. The bastard can't have it both ways.

Donald Trump is going into the election with the biggest preventable death toll since WWII, and the largest unemployment since the Great Depression. We must not let the Republicans forget what Making America Great Again really looks like. For the next eight months we have to pound him with his new numbers.

Some will say that it is time to pull together behind Trump; they are wrong, dead wrong. If his goals were to destroy the American economy, increase big government, fill the swamp and kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, then he is the most successful president to ever occupy the White House. We have to be preaching this in the streets and from the rooftops.

We have to make sure that Trump has to run on his record. Four more year of his type of leadership and we will be looking up to Somalia as a role model.

Trump has to go

Or is there an element of intent, premeditation?

A bi-partisan select committee on the CV-19 reaction disaster ought to be laid open to the American people. We need the truth.

Trump and his collection of anti-socialists will be blaming their own missteps and inaction on the Democrats. We have to counter with the honest truth.

It's like Trump began the assault on America with his Fake News mantra while on the campaign trail. He infected the national conversation with disinformation and outright lies, while labeling any national news organization of being "Fake News", whenever they reported the facts.

...as stated above, he will just blame Democrats, and then they will blame the virus. They have several ready excuses for this disaster as well as any perceived faults from the last three years, and their sheep will believe all of it. I agree with you wholeheartedly, but we also need to make sure we have the facts of this to present to the voting public. I know facts will not sway the faithful, but there would be no denying them to anyone who has a brain. Well, a working one anyway.
