So now we know for certain why so many people had to die [View all]

Trump was and still is looking at the biggest bankruptcy of his entire life. He owes about as much as his assets are worth, and being in the hotel and resort industry he relies heavily on people traveling. Without people traveling his finances which were already shaky to begin with are now swirling the bowl. He's on the verge of losing virtually everything and with so much of his own money on the line this isn't other people's money, it's his this time.

So what does he do? He pretends COVID is overstated, that it's not a real threat, that people can go back to business as usual and more importantly he can start making money. He does all of this while knowing he is dead wrong in very much the literal sense.

You have to look pretty hard to find anyone in history that was fully willing to sacrifice that many people in the interest of their own greed. That's some high level evil shit right there.
