THREAD The GOP is embarking on a victory lap for 100,000 dead Americans. They will claim the reopening as theirs alone, and celebrate a median age in the 80s. In March, I told you about 19 days when Trump's failure to act cost lives. @NarativLive
2. Thanks to the researchers from Columbia University we now know just how many lives could have been saved - 54,000 - had Trump responded just two week earlier. @narativlive #Covid19 washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/05…
3. Trump will use the $6+ Trillion stimulus we needed to clean up the mess he created to artificially boost the economy into November. That bill will be paid for by generations to come and we don't know how much Trump pocketed as grift. narativ.org/2020/04/05/vir…
4. Trump still claims that his ban on flights from China shows he took action but that ban backfired. It was the biggest hoax of the #Coronavirus pandemic.
5. This will be the GOP's cynical strategy into the elections, 'sure 100,000 people are dead but look at all the money'. If they win they will continue to destroy what we know of as democracy and an age of liberalism which made the world a more enlightened and equal place.
6. Trump's record: 100,000 dead (54,000 preventable), a Chinese flight ban that made things far worse. A failure to lead that should worry anyone concerned about the next looming crisis: climate change. All Trump did for the U.S. is what he's always done: rack up debt. /END
