Trump's disregard for the corona virus pandemic's impact on the health and safety of the American PEOPLE, which is a POTUS's primary duty, illustrated by his failure to develop a planned response...cared only about the economy, and they both suffered due to his neglect...more than 400,000 dead on his watch, and in his words "if we can keep it to 200,000...100,000 thousand deaths, we'll have done a good job"...unemployment rising, small business failures rising, US economy is still in various stages of lockdowns due to an uncontrolled surge in infections, hospitalizations and deaths...
his cockamamie ideas like magic cure hydroxychloroquine, ingestion of disinfectants and insertion of UV lights were utter disasters that elevated crackpot ideas over safe and scientifically proven measures...
his decapitation of CDC and FDA sidelined two critical federal departments which should have been empowered to lead a national response, but he only increased distrust of experts among his followers, about 40% of Americans, who followed his lead, with disastrous results...his followers resisted any efforts to protect themselves and others from the infectious plague helping to keep it spreading...the stifled and shutdown experts have been proven correct in their initial estimations of the worst case scenarios...he defiantly continued to hold public rallies ignoring safety measures, further spreading the virus...
his politicization of the pandemic during the first few months, pitted Red vs Blue... he criticized recommended public health safety measures and urged citizens of those states to defy, LIBERATE, stoking an anti government reaction...a prelude to more dangerous baiting to come
(four right there, and put together, will be history's judgement of the primary failing of his presidency)
leveraged American hate for his political purposes, magnifying our divisions, especially racial differences... and normalizing in-your-face rude, crude, belligerent and confrontational communications, coarsening how we speak to one another, stoking violence, culminating in his anti-American democracy attack on free and fair elections and the Congress of the USA
de-regulation that allowed businesses to pollute our air and water
