7. His Covid response resulted in a US death rate

Almost double that of all the countries in Europe combined. He didn't have to be the best, just average. That's more than 500,000 citizens dead because of his incompetence.

9. Yes, this was by far his worst failure or crime-- gross negligence or worse-- and it rarely gets any attention

it has angered me no end how much he screwed up our anti-pandemic defenses... enabling anti-vaxxers, mocking masking, he brought people into the White House who pursued a horrible strategy of mass immunity, where everyone gets infected-- truly evil stuff

in the US when compared to other western countries. It is a combination of a grossly incompetent president and a failed health system.

Think of all the loved ones lost, directly or indirectly because of Trump's deliberate denials, obstruction, and self centered arrogance. And it gets little or no attention.

8. Some just disgusting things and 1 bribe.

He gave them a great place to live in a basement. One model said she woke up to someone peeing on her through the window while she was asleep. Just looked it up. He was accused of withholding up to 80% of 1 models pay for expenses. Also accused by others that the company didn’t obtain the proper visas for them. He closed the company down in 2017.

He gave the Florida attorney general a big donation and his case went away.

Used aliases to get headlines on how much of a player he was. I think 3 of them? John Barron was one. Then named his son Barron. Called the paparazzi so they could see Melania walk up on him and his wife at the time Marla Maples at a outside restaurant.

Said John McCain wasn’t a war hero since he was captured.


He’s just a sleaze ball.
