33. Not to mention the genocide of 250,000 Americans

Tue Jun 8, 2021, 04:01 PM

Jun 2021

I'm speaking of the estimated number of Americans who would have been alive today, after getting COVID, and died, as a result of Trumps non leadership and no national plan.

According to experts, 40% of America's deaths were avoidable if the US had simply been doing on par with other western democracies. To date, almost 600,000 deaths. That means something like 250,000 Americans....fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, sisters, brothers....could have still been alive today.

If some leader, in any country, had purposely through denial, let happen a mass poisoning, or foreign invasion, happen to his country, and a quarter million citizens died as a result, he'd be lucky to not escape being hanged.

I don't know why this damning fact is not publicized more.
