Donald Trump is America's worst mass murderer

You’re neglecting the PPE issue. The federal government had the power to be the single source of PPE and distribute it to the states, but instead Trump told the states to compete against each other for it, and even stole some from them.

Right, and I should add that that led to a bigger deficit in almost all states, caused in great part by the excessive costs in the efforts of getting that PPE. When you see Trump telling congress to not send economic aid to the states now…

Well, I just think about the people that will die (not just because of corona) when states will be forced to make cuts in their health care and other programs that are related to the well-being of the people. Point here is that I do think that more people will have to be added to Trump’s deadly count.

Actually some US presidents started wars that killed millions so Trump doesn’t win that award yet.

After The management change, there will be lingering results from the previous administration.
When can we start blaming the deaths on the new President?
One month, two?

Six months

I’d add LBJ and Nixon for Vietnam.

I don’t like Trump, but claiming that he’s responsible for even a single Covid death is ridiculous.

No, it isn’t. He INTENTIONALLY withheld federal distribution of PPE, forcing states to bid against each other for equipment; this caused the infection rate to increase. He INTENTIONALLY downplayed the risk (later admitting this) in his speeches, along with downplaying mask use. Had he come out at the beginning and told his followers that wearing a mask was the patriotic thing to do, we would have far fewer infections in the US, meaning far fewer deaths. No, Trump didn’t hold anyone down and FORCE the virus into them, but he held many maskless superspreader events posing as rallys. And these are the most OBVIOUS ways he increased the death toll.

I wonder what the medical result of the latest super-spreader event will be, some of those zombies will have been carriers - the event that the Trump faced one egged on
