13. Clear evidence of the correctness of Mary Trump's diagnosis
Tue Aug 4, 2020, 11:34 AM
Aug 2020

Only a true sociopath would blithely say mass needless death is just “what it is.”
I’m sure the dead and their suffering families have a quite different and more negative opinion of that matter. What it is is horrific, but to him it’s just we the expendable dying.

As for his absolutely insane claim “it’s under control” this is the exact same denial of catastrophic reality that we saw depicted so masterfully in the HBO miniseries Chernobyl. The corrupt collapsing Soviet regime insisted to its people and the world that “it was all under control” never mind the meltdown was about to kill an entire continent. That regime’s denial of reality, suppression or facts, ignoring, silencing,
and threatening scientists strenuously warning of the danger, and refusal to protect its population is exactly what this murderously incompetent cabal is doing in response to this pandemic. As a result this plague has become OUR Chernobyl and the death toll is mounting-indeed it’s now many times the number who died in that catastrophe, and until these people are driven from their positions of power over our lives and now deaths it will only escalate. Once they are gone they need to be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. Only then will the dead and the suffering have true justice.
