Buzzflash accuses Trump of "Willful Homicide"
The orange maniac is also accused of "a national and global crime against humanity." This is well worth reading. And it's just one of the reasons he must spend the rest of his life in prison or a mental institution.
Trump Admitting That He Asked Staff to Slow COVID-19 Testing Is Not a Campaign "Reset," It's Willful Homicide
“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases. So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’ They test and they test.”
— Donald Trump, Tulsa Campaign Rally on June 20“
“It constitutes a criminal, negligent abuse of power so unspeakable and so unthinkable that there isn’t even a law, federal or international, to adequately cover the case….it constitutes nothing less than a national and global crime against humanity.”
— David Atkins, The Washington Monthly
It shouldn’t have come as a surprise to political reporters and editors covering Trump that he has opposed an increase in COVID-19 testing, because he has been doing it for weeks, openly — along with Mike Pence — obstructing and disinforming. Trump has been slow-walking increased federal testing availability since the beginning of the Coronavirus outbreak in the US (which he said would “disappear magically”).

So, while it was welcome that the mainstream media suddenly appeared to realize that Trump has put US lives in danger by, as he stated at the Tulsa rally, asking staff to “slow the testing down,” he had been saying this aloud to the press, just short of claiming he actually “asked” to keep testing to a minimum. Why did the press suddenly call him out, given that Trump has been — and continues to be — a cause of so many unnecessary deaths.

On June 22, Trump was asked by Scripps correspondent, Joe St. George, if he had actually asked federal staff to slow the testing down and Trump refused to answer, which you can take for a yes.

And more. And not only that, it's thrown our whole world upside down and inside out for the next several years because of all of this. He really is the real virus in all of this. May this forever be known as the Trumplague.
