Donald Trump has inflicted mass death on the American people through his malevolent, indifferent and willfully cruel response to the coronavirus pandemic. In the United States more than 5 million people have been diagnosed and 166,000 people have now died — and the true numbers are likely much higher. Public health experts predict that the final death toll may be as high as 250,000 to 300,000.
Yale University public health expert Dr. Gregg Gonsalves summarized this dire situation in a recent conversation with Salon:
Trump’s pandemic response is not the same as Nazi Germany. It is not Rwanda. But Trump’s response is something that is well beyond a policy mistake. One hundred thousand people are dead.

Moreover, it was premeditated. There were people in the White House and elsewhere warning Donald Trump, “People are going to die. We need to do something […]
As a society we do not like to believe that we practice human sacrifice, that we are somehow better. The fact indicate otherwise. We practice human sacrifice in the form of wars, and now internally with the COVID virus response. All because those in power worship Mammon (money) before any other god.
