Trump killed far more Americans than Osama bin Laden.



9/11 is a day of somber reflection. Will we feel the same as we recall Trump killing most of the 200,000 who perished in 2020? He hoped downplaying COVID’s threat would help him politically and didn’t care who his lies killed. Trump killed far more Americans than Osama bin Laden.

A large portion of that was preventable, yet Donald Trump not only played it down, but time and time again did things that made it worse. And he's offered pitifully few condolences or mentions of those that have died.

Before the ACA was passed, 114 Americans died each day from not having healthcare. That's 40,000 per year, while 10 years in Vietnam killed 56,000.

Also, we still have 92 gun deaths per day in the U.S.

And then there's the war over fictitious WMDs.

The common denominator: The self-proclaimed "pro-life" party. The same ones who are okay with police committing murders of unarmed citizens. Their denial of climate change will kill living things on each continent.

Bin Laden and ISIL are amateurs vs. our own domestic terrorists of the GOP.
