And Trump has fired all the people who could help prevent it.

He loves being able to kill people.
He is a sadistic cruel psychopath.
And he and Jared can make deals and sell live saving medication and equipment to the highest bidder.
Like Jared Kushner said duing the civid pandemic, all US resources belong to him and Trump.

He takes a good economy and crashes it.
And makes a deadly pandemic much much worse.
