11. This does not surprise me one bit

To Trump, the lives of Americans are expendable. Business profits and the investor class are Trump's agenda over any and all measures our government needs to take to protect Americans. Trump is swimming in debt and needs the largess of corporations to help get him out of it. This is just the latest example of how the Trump administration has hijacked the Centers for Disease Control. There are rumors about that Dr. Redfield, the C.D.C. Director, will resign. It was in this way that Trump helped to make the meat processing industry in the U.S. hot zone super spreaders. A good step towards stopping the spread of COVID-19 is to vote Trump out.

The New York Times: White House Blocked C.D.C. Order to Keep Cruise Ships Docked
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/health/covid-cruise-ships.html

"The White House has blocked a new order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to keep cruise ships docked until mid-February, a step that would have displeased the politically powerful tourism industry in the crucial swing state of Florida."
