Is Trump Responsible for More than 500,000 American Deaths?

 Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Two facts of great importance no American can ignore, especially on November 5, 2024: More than one-million Americans died from the effects of Covid-19, and Donald Trump is directly responsible for a large number of these unnecessary deaths. This fact is based on his policy of “it will just go away,” and therefore he did nothing for three months as the virus spread rapidly.

The list of reasons why electing Trump as our nation’s 45th president is long and was the biggest mistake ever made by the American people, but one stands out above the rest. The primary purpose required of the President of the United States is to care for the needs of and protect our nation’s people from harm whether it be from a domestic or foreign source: all of us. Trump failed his primary directive.

Fake Republicans are desperate to redirect the truth, focusing on allegations about the beginning of Covid-19 in a Wuhan Lab. This lab was partially funded by the CDC under the control of Dr. Fauci.

However, thanks to the mainstream media’s collusion with the right wing, the truth has been hidden from the American people. For example, on April 7, 2020, Trump learned that the coronavirus was affecting Hispanics and Black Americans disproportionately. The leader of white supremacy in America wanted to ensure that this would continue.

The New York Time wrote: “The coronavirus is infecting and killing black people in the United States at disproportionately high rates…

“In Illinois, 43 percent of people who have died from the disease and 28 percent of those who have tested positive are African-Americans, a group that makes up just 15 percent of the state’s population. African-Americans, who account for a third of positive tests in Michigan, represent 40 percent of deaths in that state even though they make up 14 percent of the population. In Louisiana, about 70 percent of the people who have died are black, though only a third of that state’s population is.”

Trump, his fake Republican Party, Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh all celebrated. Limbaugh: “With the coronavirus, I have been waiting for the racial component.”

And here it was: “The coronavirus now hits African Americans harder,” Limbaugh intoned, “harder than illegal aliens, harder than women. It hits African Americans harder than anybody: disproportionate representation.”

All of this proves one thing: Trump was not concerned about the growing deaths of American citizens, and he had no idea what to do about it so he claimed it would “simply disappear.”

The latest facts allege that Trump is directly responsible for between 300,000 and 500,000 deaths which were preventable. Is this a man who deserves to be our president?
