There was, and is, nothing negligent about Drumph's actions
regarding COVID, especially in light of the heightened duty of
being, you know, the POTUS. His willful refusal to acknowledge the science,
as well as the fact that every single thing he has done has made
it worse demonstrates a state of mind that is far more than negligent.
At the very least this fits the definition of acts undertaken with a
"willful and wanton disregard of known risk to human life".
That is the standard definition of second-degree murder, and that
is what he and his enablers should be charged with.
