IF YOU’RE LEANING TOWARDS VOTING FOR DONALD TRUMP IN NOVEMBER, PERHAPS YOU NEED TO STEP BACK. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.

Trump has proven he’s not fit to manage the presidency in times of a majpr crisis. Consider his shameful performance during the worldwide COVID pandemic. Scientific American gave Trump a blistering review in March of 2021, in which they said: 

“Faced with the pandemic, Trump suppressed scientific data, delayed testing, mocked and blocked mask-wearing, and convened mass gatherings where social distancing was impossible. Despite the mounting threats of COVID-19 and global warming, he pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization and the Paris climate accord. He installed industry insiders in regulatory posts tasked with protecting Americans from environmental and occupational hazards; their regulatory rollbacks resulted in 22,000 excess deaths from such hazards in 2019 alone. He pushed through a $1.9 trillion tax cut for the wealthy, creating a budget hole that he then used to justify cutting food and housing assistance for the needy. He tried, but failed, to repeal the ACA (Afordable Care Act), then bent every effort to undermine it, pushing up the number of uninsured Americans by 2.3 million.”

Additionally, in comparing US deaths from COVID, a commission sponsored by Lancet, a British medical Journal, reported the U.S. had 40% higher number of deaths per capita compared with other high-income, industrialized countries. With over 1 million recorded deaths from COVID-19, that means over 400,000 Americans paid the price for Trump’s inept management of the crisis. 

If you don’t think his shameful pandemic performance disqualifies Trump from ever holding office again, watch this space for other, equally compelling reasons.
