The Greatest Cover-Up

40. History will vilify him, Not vindicate him

And revisionist history will try to exonerate and excuse him.

"In the year 2020 the world was hit by a pandemic. Governments responded, some quickly and comprehensively, others slowly and ineffectively.
The US president at the time was a businessman who'd somehow been elected to office. He'd dismantled provisions and protocol put in place for such an event. He publicly minimised the virus early on, when he should have been taking measures to protect and treat the US population. He pushed for business's to reopen as medical experts and most state governor's were cautioning, restricting social interactions and looking out for the welfare of those in their state. The president seemed to be concerned only with the economy and his bid for reelection later that year. He failed miserably as a leader, and was defeated by numbers never before seen. (It is interesting to note that many more of his constituents died during the pandemic. They were mostly older, and did not heed recommendations for social distancing and isolation, and therefore more prone to succumb to the illness. Some hypothesized that if he had not been responsible for the deaths of many of his supporters he would have been elected to a second term, however this was proved to be false, based on the numbers and simple math)."

Gee that was fun and cathartic to write!
