Let's examine one of @POTUS latest tweets - another laced with rancid racism. And @PressSec - this will bring up one of the many instances where your "man committed to the truth" swore to God he would tell the truth, then perjured himself, in this instance, before Congress.../1
...this was back when Trump was trying desperately to stop Native American casinos - NOT because he wanted to stop them, but because they wouldn't do business with him.

Here is a summary of his whole testimony (excerpt from an article I wrote in 2016).../2
...and here are some of the words he used, arguing that Native American casinos would be overwhelmed with crime...
...and then the usual took place. Except this was 1993, not 2020 - people react with outrage at Trump's lying and racism, so he calls them names...
...which brings us to the perjury. Trump pretended he did this because he cared about the casino business and crime. He lied to Congress that he had never tried to do any deals with Native American casinos. Voluminous documents proved him a liar, perjurer and criminal...
...this is one of the many many examples of Trump's lying, racism and utter and complete incompetence in business. Want some entertainment? Read the whole piece - yet another one of many I wrote in 2016 pre-election warning of the dangers of this man. newsweek.com/2016/08/12/don…

Stop talking about percents. Let's talk about dead children.

57 million kids attend schools.

Assume a ridiculously low infection rate of 2% - that's 1,140,000 children sick. Assume a death rate of 0.5%. That's almost 6,000 dead children. Like two 9/11s, with just kids.../1
...now, we HAVE to assume numbers, because these idiots have no studies to figure out what infection rate will likely be in the middle of a HUGE outbreak, which no other country had on opening schools. So, let's change up the assumptions.../2
...assume a more reasonable infection rate of 20%, since these kids will be exposed like no one else has been.

Thats 11.4 MILLION infected children.

And let's drop the death rate really, really low - 1/10th of 1 percent.

That's 11,400 dead children. 11,400 small coffins..../3

Since Trump think he can just will schools to be fine with no national plan, with no mask requirements, without even making sure the schools have enough DAMN HAND SOAP, all while ignoring CDC guidance - help for parents.

As I see Trumpers having temper tantrums all over the country when urged to do their part by wearing a mask, social distancing, washing hands, I can't help but think how these selfish, fake patriots would have undermined the war effort at home during WW2. Back then, shame.../1
...had in impact. The message was, "We're in this together, and if you are not part of it, you are aiding the enemy." The same is true today - except Trumpers aren't in it.

Can you IMAGINE how Trumpers would react if government told their kids to eat corn cereal, not wheat?.../2
...and if families refused, theyld be subjected to societal shame. But they wouldn't throw tantrums screaming "
my freedom!" to be a selfish jerk. Those types would be shunned. And shunning is underrated these days.

Or how about an entire list of what households should do.../3
