Four years ago, Trump continued his dereliction of duty in the face of national crisis, telling governors they were on their own in the fight against Covid. “Respirators, ventilators, all of the equipment – try getting it yourselves,” he told them.

    @rbreich@masto.ai People died because of trump’s approach to the distribution of masks and other personal protective equipment.
    States were forced to compete against each other and with the federal government for supplies.
    Feds were even confiscating shipments from the states. Governor of MD hid his state’s PPE from feds and called up National Guard to protect the stockpile.
    This is how bad it was during the trump admin. People wanting a 2nd term have somehow forgotten this or don’t care.

    @rbreich@masto.ai About a year later, in July 2021 just as the Delta wave was getting underway in the U.S., President Ice Cream told the country, “If you are fully vaccinated, you no longer need to wear a mask.” Tens of thousands of people, many of them fully vaccinated, needlessly died in that wave. A year after that, the Hair-Sniffer-In-Chief told one of the worst lies ever: “The pandemic is over.” The current administration’s policy, like the previous admin’s, is LET IT RIP. #CovidIsNotOver

    We in NY remember well.
    Kushner: “Cuomo didn’t pound the phones hard enough to get PPE for his state…. His people are going to suffer and that’s their problem.”
    These #DonTheCon Admin bastards must be prosecuted for all the people they killed. They didn’t give one shit and were just using this for their election purposes. Blaming the Governors in Blue States. That didn’t work out so well in the end did it you soulless Android. Red States fared far worse.

    @rbreich@masto.ai That mf’er knew what only the chinese goverment knew at the begginnig of the pandemic. It took the WHO almost a year to acknowledge this. And not only he did nothing, but he hid it.

    Trump and the Republicans did more than that…

    1. They told seniors they should volunteer to die

    2. They blamed black people for dying too much

    3. They spread disinformation to prolong & worsen the pandemic

    4. They engaged on a media blitz with Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, & Dr. Drew and we still don’t know who paid for it
