I Lied, Thousands Died. What, Me Worry?

“I wanted to play it down”, trump told Bob Woodward in a recorded telephone conversation last February.

“I still like playing it down because I don’t want to cause panic.”

Almost 200,000 Americans have been killed by the Corona Virus and many others have fallen grievously ill, perhaps for a very long time.

To WikiLeekZ, that’s completely unacceptable and should be to any American with a scintilla of humanity and love for his fellow citizens.

200,000 and still counting with no end in sight as long as trump is president. That’s 75 times the number of deaths on 9/11 and before it’s over it will be well over 100 times those murdered in NYC, WDC and PA on September 11, 2001.

Just imagine, if you will, if George W. Bush, on receiving incontrovertible intelligence that a murderous act would take place in NYC that was going to blow up the World Trade Center, decided to play down that threat.

What would trump’s inaction be called? Dereliction of Duty, a Traitorous Act, a Mass Murder?

Now, multiply George Bush’s imaginary inaction and put trump in his place with Covid 19 foreknowledge and multiply the human death toll by 70 -100 times.

Q-What would that be called?

A-Mass Murder on an unprecedented scale in America?

A-Unimaginable Incompetence?

Or

A-The reality of decision-making by a man without a shred of humanity, without a heart, a man whose narcissism  and avarice is without parallel in the annals of our country.

What about those official enablers in his administration and the Senators and Representatives in Washington DC who, for almost 4 years, have acquiesced to his every whim regardless of how heartless, stupid and venal?

Tomorrow, we commemorate the anniversary of the September 11th murder of 3000 Americans. Twenty years from now, what will we write? What will feel and say about the year 2020 and those who don’t even acknowledge their complicity in the needless deaths of tens of thousands of American citizens?

And what will we think of the millions of Americans who have voted, enabled and supported an individual who, for all intents and purposes, is largely responsible for the deaths and suffering of so many citizens and families throughout out country.

Tomorrow is a sad, national day of mourning.

How will we remember and mourn those killed in 2020 so needlessly in the future?

When our grand children ask us what ‘What did you do to fight for those lives lost’, what will you tell them?

What will we tell ourselves? What can we tell ourselves?
