His willful and negligent bungling of the fight against Covid-19 has already resulted in nearly 170,000 deaths.
Now his willful and malevolent “kneecapping” of the Postal Service is sabotaging delivery of life-saving medicines to millions from sea to shining sea. Notably, this is affecting the poor and elderly – whose Obamacare health coverage he spent the first year of his presidency trying to “repeal.” But it is also affecting hundreds of thousands of military veterans – who depend on the US mail for timely delivery of meds to treat PTSD and other more visible wounds of war.

In a rare public rebuke against the president, Obama told his former campaign manager David Plouffe on a podcast that he ‘worries’ about protecting the integrity of the election process amid a pandemic. …
Obama’s attack comes days after Trump said he did not want the Postal Service to get much-needed funding because he doesn’t want it used for mail-in voting, which he’s baselessly stated will lead to voter fraud.

The only question is how many more deaths will he cause between now and then …
Incidentally, if you’re one of those die-hard Trumpasites, don’t kid yourself. Because the death he causes could be yours or that of someone you care about.
After all, but for the FDA refusing to approve hydroxychloroquine for sale, his willful peddling of it would have already poisoned many of you to death. This, when he wasn’t trying to get you all to ingest bleach …
