we simply discovered from the Washington Put up columnist Bob Woodward the President Of The US admitted on tape in February he knew about COVID-19 that had handed via the air. He knew how lethal it was. It was way more lethal than the flu. He knew and purposely performed it down. Worse, he lied to the American individuals. He knowingly and willingly lied concerning the menace it posed to the nation for months. He had the knowledge. He knew how harmful it was. And whereas this lethal illness ripped via our nation, he failed do his job on goal.
It was a life-and-death portrayal of the American individuals. Consultants say if he acted one week sooner, 36,000 individuals would have been saved. If he acted two weeks sooner again in March, 54,000 lives would have been spared in March and April alone. , his failure has not solely value lives, it despatched our economic system in a tailspin. It value tens of millions extra in American livelihoods.
It is a recession created by Donald Trump’s negligence and he’s unfit for this job as a consequence of it. What number of faculties aren’t open proper now? What number of children are beginning a brand new faculty 12 months the identical means they ended the final one, at residence? What number of dad and mom really feel deserted and overwhelmed? What number of frontline employees are exhausted and pushed to their limits? And what number of households are lacking family members at their dinner desk tonight due to his failures? It’s past despicable.

Biden is correct. Trump’s refusal to do his job is why 190,000 Individuals are useless, tens of millions extra have been sickened, and the economic system is in a tailspin. Trump needs to fake just like the pandemic just isn’t occurring, however the actuality is that Donald Trump knew the risks and selected to let Individuals die.
That is the Trump pandemic and the blood of those that died needlessly is on Donald Trump’s palms.
