This is Trump's worst crime in my opinion. His criminally negligent handling of the pandemic led to a huge number of preventable deaths. I don't know of any American President who has killed more Americans than Trump.

The level of sheer stupidity that one person displayed was amazing. The fact that he was president only made it worse.

1) Ignore the issue completely and pretend it will be fine.

2) Once ignoring it failed, blame everyone else for it happening.

3) Ignore possible problems that might come up with regards to supplies.

4) Politicize masks as some kind of weakness. Honestly, this is one of the worst.

5) Insult the experts and encourage disobedience of expert advice. Second worst thing he did in my opinion.

6) Randomly mention that they should explore injecting bleach as an option and shining sunlight into people.

7) So so so much more.

Trump is the worst thing to happen to America.
