Needs some input on Trump's American Genocide or American Carnage

So far, what I have that directly impacts Americans:

1) Disbanding the pandemic response teams
2) Firing the CDC liaison in Beijing
3) Defunding virus research at NIH
4) Left hundreds of positions unfilled at CDC
5) Proposing cuts to Medicare, Social Security & Medicaid
6) Fighting against covering pre-existing conditions
7) Arguing to overturn Obamacare at the SCOTUS
8) Turned down offer in January from American company to make millions of masks per day.
9) Relaxing or ignoring restrictions on pollution

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of things, but I'm looking for just things that directly affect Americans, so not foreign policy stuff.

Thanks

Trump Inherited More Ventilators Than Have Been Distributed

He has lied about that multiple times.

By not wearing a mask he and Pence are signaling that masks aren't necessary/helpful--no doubt with deadly consequences.

Of course ignoring the situation and doing nothing for far too long in hopes of avoiding negative publicity and an economic downturn cost many lives.

Threw out the pandemic playbook left by the Obama administration.
