It's just how the dude operates. It's a heckuva lot easier to lie than to do your job. And it's amazing how many people are willing to believe him.

must be on record, along with his public formal statements of dereliction of duty are criminal breaks of his oath of office.

More than 1,700 American healthcare workers have died of COVID-19 since the pandemic began, ALL avoidable and unnecessary due to government and employer willful inaction. Trump's willfull lazy incompetence caused nurses and health care workers were forced to work without personal protective equipment they needed to do their job safely. OSHA under Eugene Scalia could care less about the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Trump, his family in charge of COVID supplies, and Scalia should be banned from any government buildings or jobs for life.

His two implications to the public are clear: the first is his claim that doctors manipulate higher income from COVID deaths of their patients, AND the second, that Americans should not trust doctors and nurses who care for them during the pandemic -- as if they are as exploitative and greedy as he and his insider trading partners have been through their pharma and medical supply company investments.

It's a big "if," but if he's ever indicted in connection to his dereliction during this pandemic, he should be made to work in COVID wards until his death, since "almost no one dies."
