Just as Trump the Executioner wields the scythe, the likes of Barr and Pompeo hold his robe and cape to keep them from getting too bloody.
It is Trump who terminated many Public Health positions in the DHS and HHS in 2016, while reducing the overseas forward defense public health sites from 47 to 10; these were the people who stopped Ebola overseas. Trump gutted our defense against pandemics. It is Trump who ignored the intelligence reports from last December and January warning him of the coming danger due to the coronavirus.
It is Trump who did nothing for three months while insisting this disease would pass through and over us like a common flu bug, all the while downplaying the severity. Trump swings the scythe.
His enablers hold his robe and cape while attempting to deflect all blame for the deaths they did nothing to halt.
This disease targets us all, and yet ignoramuses continue to approve of Trump’s performance. The ignoramuses think they are owning the Libs. Even as they find themselves on their backs in an ICU and on a ventilator, they think they are owning the Libs. Ignorance is also a disease. Stupidity is a condition.
