1. Yes, the ugly tragic truth.. and no one

is shocked he would do this.

2. His cult will never figure out

that Trump doesn't give a damn about them, doesn't care if they die if it gives him better ratings.

12. Many will

die for trump. How sad except there will be less repub voters. I pointed this out on a FB page and folks didn't like it. Truth will set you free,

17. I appreciate the silver lining.

by depraved indifference

4. Joe Stalin was proud of Red Terror /nt

5. Tomorrow's headlines is about as far as Trump can see.

That is not the vision of a leader.

[rickyhall]

6. And fucking ratings, like America is a tv show.

7. "You're fired", from a fake job?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Way his brain is wired. Profit and self. It's all he knows.

Think about all that research David Farenhold did on charity donations..he wanted the glory attached to giving but never gave.

Been meaning to look up those original models he quoted. I've been think that he purposely announced huge death numbers ONLY to come in lower so he could brag about that.

10. Someone here on DU

coined the perfect nickname for the tRumps. "Tint and Squint"

[DemoTex]

9. I guess "bad at his job" and "wanton criminal behavior" don't rhyme.

Alex, I'll take "Faustian Deals" for the Daily Double!

11. K & R...for truth...nt

[yaesu]

13. He traded lives so he can trade stocks, keep his payments going to the russian mob nt

[Pluvious]

14. To be fair...

He was also able to squeeze in a few more golfing days.

So there was that.

18. At first I thought it was incompetence and just trying to minimize the problem

to look good.

BUT, it also gave them time to invest in for profit "solutions" to take advantage of the pandemic. And time to plan for ways to ratf&%k the states and medical system. Emptying out our national stockpile and sending it all to other countries. Causing a shortage allowing prices to spiral due to scarcity. Refusing to play a federal leadership role on getting and distributing supplies.Making the scarcity much worse by out-bidding the hospitals and states trying to get supplies. CONFISCATING orders of PPEs, ventilators, and other supplies and only letting a trickle to get through. Funneling most of the bailout to red states (even when they don't have as much infection and their healthcare systems aren't overwhelmed) or to swing states which they need in the election. Companies in blue states have received a lot less relief than others according to a map I saw.

All of this is beyond a few episodes of incompetence and looks much more like it might be pre-planned chaos.
