When he first accepted the GOP nomination, it was clear to anyone paying attention that a Trump presidency would have one goal: The exaltation of Donald Trump. Sadly, Trump’s base seldom pays attention. Their motto is “My mind is made up, don’t confuse me with facts.”
Indeed, facts are rare in Trump’s world. Because facts don’t matter, over 170,000 Americans have died. Trump calls COVID-19 the “China virus,” but given his abject failure in addressing it, Americans should call it the “Trump virus.”
In the eight years we fought in Vietnam, we lost 58,000 American lives.
Every single year we lose over 39,000 American lives to gun-related violence.
These are tragedies. But this year we lost 25,000 American lives to COVID-19 in the month of July alone.
If you are female, young, non-white or not rich, Trump cares nothing about you except discerning what lies will get your vote. Beyond that, you are invisible to him. If Trump wins, we all lose.
