Robert Reich hits it: "Donald Trump couldn't care less."

'The first responsibility of a president is to keep the public safe. But Donald Trump couldn’t care less. He was slow to respond to the threat, then he lied about it, then made it hard for states – especially those with Democratic governors – to get the equipment they need.

Now he’s trying to force the economy to reopen in order to boost his electoral chances this November, and he’s selling out Americans’ health to seal the deal. This is beyond contemptible.'

burden put onto medical personnel and facilities, all the unemployment, hunger with people waiting in lines for food, ALL of this is because HE refuses to read his morning reports. He gets into "work" at noon, after binge watching the propaganda on Faux, getting his pompadour hairdo fixed, spray on tan, and trousers steamed by Hopeless Hicks. He does not see the presidency as a job, it is an excuse for TV appearances. Well, that plus lining his pockets by ignoring the emoluments clause in the Constitution. No democratic president would even THINK of doing, or saying the idiotic things he does and says. The gop thinks he is great, because their wealthy donors got large tax breaks at the expense of the rest of us. Every single one of them needs to lose their election, get the HELL out. They are as useless as he is. It is long past time to re-examine THEIR pension and benefits packages. After only 4 years they are set for life!! Most retire as millionaires, yet still get a pension paid for by working people. AUDIT the pensions, instead of cutting Social Security and Medicare benefits.
