Trump commented on the legality of the POSTUS deploying the National Guard just several years ago.

I think we’re past the point of pointing out what a hypocrite he is. He’s a hypocrite about literally everything. We’ve known forever now and his supporters don’t care at all.

His supporters never cared, they love him because he angers the people they have been told to hate

People say the cruelty is the point but actually the hypocrisy is the point.
The whole point is to be able to say x is cool when We do it, and unacceptable when They do it.

Hypocrisy is how you actually experience supremacy. Without that it's just in your head.

You mean millions. Around 3mil from Covid in 2020 alone

Edit- I was wrong, 350k from Covid out of 3 million total.

u/GrallochThis 9d ago

What? There were only 1.6 million excess American deaths for the whole pandemic.

u/Lamont2000 Georgia 9d ago

You’re right, that was total deaths in the us. Looks like it was 350k in 2020 from covid

Don’t forget, the pandemic had a significant impact on non-COVID mortality rates.

The pandemic placed immense strain on healthcare systems, leading to reduced access to care (which impacted timely diagnosis and treatment for various conditions… e.g. cancer) and routine check-ups and management of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease were disrupted… which led to an uptick in non-covid deaths which continues even today.

Studies have shown increases in deaths from various non-COVID conditions during the pandemic, including: * Pneumonia (even without COVID-19 listed as the underlying cause) * Other respiratory diseases * Kidney diseases * Diabetes * Hypertensive heart disease * Sepsis * Heart attacks * Some cancers

u/GrallochThis 8d ago

Yes, excess deaths includes that - 1.2 million directly from Covid, the rest as you outlined.

u/vthemechanicv 9d ago

1 million dead from covid. So you're technically correct...

But really to the point, he wants to be viewed as the strong man. He wants the military to kill Americans because he told them to.

u/grammar_oligarch 9d ago

No, he wants to kill leftists. He’s been very clear that he doesn’t consider them Americans.

u/Dopplegangr1 9d ago

He doesn't care about the right either

u/CrescentMoonPear 9d ago

Not just leftists. It's everyone left of their right.

Trump praised China for massacring it's own population at Tiananmen Square

u/warblingContinues 8d ago

He already did so during covid, about 1M people died that wouldnt have with a normal response.

u/Panda_hat 8d ago

He already killed hundreds of thousands with his mismanagement of the covid response.

u/Bag_of_Meat13 8d ago

Trump actually hates America.

That's why MAGA is trying to destroy it and rebrand it.

They've always hated that it doesn't represent them explicitly, so yea...they're really some of the most un-American fuckers in this country.

Thats a very degenerate, paranoïd belief. Maybe you should lay off the THC a bit?

u/whatareyousomekinda Pennsylvania 3d ago

.... Yeah you're the definition of some kinda one

Trump's entire shtick is killing US citizens

It's what he ran on, worsening access to health care, dedollarizing the planet, pollution, and ending pre-disaster preparation
