If Trump had told the truth instead of lying, people would have followed the advice of medical experts from the start. But no, it would be gone by Easter. It was only a flu. It would just disappear this summer. He completely disregarded the masks and made light of them, even when people attending his White House functions became infected. Trump never treated it as the danger it was. Instead, Trump took an antiestablishment approach to the disease because he sensed some political advantage in it. He built a “we against them” political wall because he knew it would resonate with his base. AND, he knew the truth. It’s on tape in the Woodward interview. He admits it. You know this is all true. His cult would have followed his lead to the letter and thousands of deaths would have been avoided. No country in the world suffered like the US, except maybe for India recently. Trump laughed at the danger publicly. He held rallies where he permitted people to not wear masks, and he laughed at the idea from the stage. Even when Trump was vaccinated himself he kept it quiet for nearly two months. What a difference announcing it right away would have made to his followers. Instead we had over 600,000 covid deaths. At a minimum Trump could have cut that number in half. Even now he pays scant lip service to getting the vaccine. He should be on national TV right now admitting that he should have taken it more seriously and begging people to get vaccinated, but he won’t. He doesn’t care about American lives if it may politically harm him. Donald Trump is the most morally corrupt individual in US history, and you, and others, continue to defend him. Why?
