    Between this and the Americans who died from his botched COVID response, Trump has killed way more people than Osama Bin Laden.

      Combine all the people he killed during COVID, cutting USAID, and RFK junior insanity and the death toll will be higher than American WWII casualties.

      Oh, wait, Pedonald already came pretty close, according to some estimates, with just the failed COVID response. Maybe him and his thugs are going for many multiples of that - it’s at least 2x WWII deaths (405K) if you estimate about 300K for failed COVID response + 600K for USAID. The damage from RFK junior being an unqualified dumbass is probably hard to estimate just yet.

      Oh, and then there is this: https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/excess-deaths/103566/

      This was excess deaths per year, annually, before COVID. JFC, conservatism really is a death cult.

      Trump’s playing in the big league of nutty mass-killing autocrats. He has already outdone Idi Amin and has people like Mao, Stalin and Hitler in his sights. I bet he’d take pride in that too, particularly the Hitler bit.
