Is Trump deliberately doing a Scorched Earth policy regarding Covid...?

...in the last days of the Third Reich, Hitler ordered Germany to be destroyed. Cities, power plants, roads, farms...everything. The German People, it seems, had failed him, and deserved to go into the darkness with him. Albert Speer and a few others ignored these orders, saving God knows how many lives. Does Trump feel similarly towards the American people, who rejected him? Does he feel that just maybe, they deserve the plague enveloping them, now spiking at higher levels than ever before? I don't know, but will say this--if he *was* initiating a scorched earth Covid policy, he'd be doing--or, rather, *not* doing--exactly what he is now.

5. The more people he kills, the more empowered he becomes. That's his psycopathy. Mary Trump was right

at states that rejected him. They're far too busy looking for legal loopholes and filing silly lawsuits that get laughed out of court to do anything else, not that anything they have done has been particularly effective at anything but putting the treasury into debt and fucking up any agency that actually worked.

lucky enough to have democratic Governors or one of the three republicans who have done a decent job against the virus.

Trump doesn’t care. In fact, in his corrupt mind, he likely believes that leaving Joe a wreaking shitpile will improve Trump’s chances in 2024. With Trump, it is always about him.
