I wonder if Trump can be sued ( class action) for his premeditated lies about Covid.

Many people lost loved ones because Trump lied about Covid. Many people have been disabled by Covid. The pain and suffering from Covid is off the charts and Trump is to blame. Trump withheld information from the American people, flat out lied about Covid. There is evidence he knew, was told how bad Covid was. In private he was telling people Covid is really bad. He was telling the public Covid is under control, it's going away. He knew that was not true and I think it can be proven.

If you go back and look at all the things Trump said to the public about Covid, it reads like the rantings of a madman who is attempting to kill people. Which he did. Trump killed a lot of people with his lies.

Every word a President offered would be parsed and run past legalese AI bots connected to lawyers. It would paralyze the country.

Information changes..... There were conflicting and contradictory messages weekly

President Biden even said at one time that if you are vaccinated, you can't get Covid, and no longer have to wear a mask.

For a whole bunch of things but also for stealing our shipments of medical supplies, that we bought without federal $$, at the beginning of the pandemic. He should hung for that alone.
