Regarding a homicidal maniac
Buzzflash states that Trump is actively ignoring the number of deaths caused by Covid 19 and doesn't give a rats ass how many people die.
There are no words left to describe the horror of this man, and there is no punishment suitable for his endless crimes against humanity.
On April 11, The Washington Post ran an article, “Trump administration has many task forces — but still no plan for beating Covid-19.” It provided reported evidence that, ... “He's [Trump is] actively and purposefully making everything worse”:
During one task force meeting in the Situation Room last month, Trump turned to Fauci and challenged him.

“Why don’t we let this wash over the country?” Trump asked, according to two people familiar with his comments, a question other administration officials say he has raised repeatedly in the Oval Office.
Fauci initially seemed confused by the term “wash over” but became alarmed once he understood what Trump was asking.
“Mr. President, many people would die,” Fauci said.
The president said he understood but since then has repeatedly made clear he wants to reopen things soon — although significant roadblocks remain.
In short, Trump was expressing what has likely been his desire all along to let “the forest” of the virus burn through the population. The wealthy will be protected by isolating themselves in mansions, expansive Park Avenue apartments, islands and the Trump Towers. The rest of the working class, who are risking their lives, is expendable, as long as the oligarchy could start gorging on money again.
