By July, it was obvious that #PPP, which was "sold to the American people as a program to help Mom-and-Pop shops keep their lights on during the pandemic" was really just a Trump scam that helped the well connected cut to the front of the line. #Corruptionthedailyedge.substack.com/p/corona-corru…

Trump is a psychopathic criminal cult leader in league with foreign powers and money lenders, backed by a corrupt, compromised party and a propaganda media network. If unstopped, he will criminalize dissent and embrace authoritarianism.
Here's a thread laying it all out: (1/9)
To truly understand Trump and the danger he represents, we need to first diagnose his psychiatric condition. He's not just a narcissist. As @DutytoInform explains, he's a psychopath: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/diagnosis-ps… (2/9)
Trump is also, undoubtedly, a criminal. Setting aside Mueller and impeachment, here's a list of 10 known crimes--from sexual assault to racial discrimination to tax fraud to money laundering--that we know he committed even BEFORE he became President: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-crimes-o… (3/9)
The Washington Post is now reporting there have been 7,000 additional nursing home deaths since the end of September. (1/3) #NursingHomeSlaughter#TrumpHatesSeniors
WaPo: Seema Verma, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head, vowed in late March to “keep what happened in Kirkland from happening again.” Since then, "homes that received a clean bill of health earlier this year had about 290,000 coronavirus cases and 43,000 deaths" (2/3)
Since March, more than 70,000 nursing home residents have died, plus hundreds of staff members, making up about 30% of U.S. coronavirus deaths.
Trump’s complete failure with #COVID19 turned what could have been a mild recession into a full blown economic crash—one that we may not fully recover from for many years.
The economy was weak heading into 2020 because of the failure of the #GOPTaxScam. Trump claimed his tax cuts for corporations and the already-rich would “skyrocket” the economy & deliver 5-6% GDP growth.
Reality: 2020 began with economists predicting growth of just 1.8%. (2/12)
Growing consumer debt was also slowing the economy’s potential heading into 2020. As Wall Street Journal reported: “consumer debt, not counting mortgages, has climbed to $4 trillion—higher than it has ever been even after adjusting for inflation.” (3/12) thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-economy-…
“Starting in 2017, the Chinese signaled exactly how they planned to approach their trade negotiations with Trump... the very night that Ivanka sat down to dinner with President Xi, the Chinese government approved three trademarks for Ivanka’s businesses.” thedailyedge.substack.com/p/ivanka-trump…
"Despite their best efforts, Senate Republicans could find no evidence that Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company directly affected US policy toward Ukraine."
Here is a Trump scandal so bad, even Fox News is talking about it. How DID @IvankaTrump get so many Chinese trademarks approved in the days after her dad’s first meeting with President Xi? #QuidProQuo#TrumpCrimeFamily
They made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm.
Ivanka was awarded trademarks from China in 2017, 2018 and 2019 as her dad negotiated with Xi. Meanwhile US farmers fell into bankruptcy & US manufacturing entered a full year recession in 2019 ahead of the #TrumpCrash of 2020.
Trump himself has received hundreds of millions in loans from foreign powers, millions in direct business, and he and Ivanka have been gifted trademarks from China in the midst of trade discussions. All of this is a flagrant violation of the Constitution.
