Awww, he's really just trying to speedrun beating his COVID numbers, isn't he? The little rascal.

Yes, I threw up in my mouth a little typing all that.

Trump’s greatest crime is practically invisible to Americans
Present company excepted of course.

I took a look at the tracker they’re using as a source, and this appears to be (for the few categories I checked the methodology for) referring to mathematically projected deaths, and not literal counted dead humans. I think that’s a pretty important note, especially if we’re titling it “at least 600,000 dead”. I’m not saying noone died, but “I’ve used math to estimate that half a million people died based on this set of assumptions” is a very different statement from “We have tallied up literally half a million dead people over here explicitly because of USAID going away”

Same argument as holocaust deniers. Good point.
I appreciate the clarification. But let’s give the dead the benefit of the doubt before it becomes another COVID that kills everyone’s grandparents. People like you desire to see death first hand before believing it only because you likely have not seen it yet yourself, so through sheer inexperience doubt such loss can be on such a large scale. It is. Whether these stats line up perfectly yet or not. It’s still happening.
And to be clear. This isn’t the first time Trump has killed this many people through sheer negligence.
He does not have the benefit of the doubt here. Nor deserves it. So you should not be giving it. Don’t be the guy that looks the other way from the mountains of dead until someone you know is in the pile. Looking the other way is how they get there.

Also another crime of our mainstream, billionaire-owned media.
Most people don’t know this and will never know because the MSM won’t talk about it, and if you’re a Democrat the chances are your algo is trained to tell you all the awesome and meaningless symbolic shit that Dems are doing, and if you’re a Republican, your algo is programmed to keep telling you over and over again how awesome Donald is.
I’m glad we still have the Fediverse.

It’s a swimming pool full of marbles and every marble is a terrible crime.
He’s killed more in deathcamps.
On track to surpass his role model’s numbers by end of year 4!
Stalin?
Pretty sure he means Hitler
I think that means he’s passed his old covid numbers from his 1st term.
Bird flu reporting to duty, sir.
It will get much worse. 3 more years to go, at a minimum.
Assuming he doesn’t try to get a third term, people will still die well into his successor’s term.
And I am certain that the republican party will point that out ad nauseum.*
*Depending on the type of person who died. Poor and non-white people excluded.

All rich people have blood on their hands.
All of them need to pay for it.
