If I had an inside track to those who contribute to the Merriam- Webster dictionary, I would request a photo of Donald Trump be depicted next to the word "malevolent." The words "vile", "rotten", "deplorable", "evil", "repugnant" would also be top contenders, but no - I do believe "malevolent" nails it. Malevolent is more methodical, more deliberate. Like Trump. Please know Donald Trump does not care about your life, the life of your loved ones, or anyone else on this planet. He only cares about remaining in power and winning the election - period.
In what he perceives as a threat for his chance for reelection, he has viciously gone after Dr. Anthony Fauci who is telling the truth about the deadly coronavirus virus. As more people die day after day, Trump is minimizing Covid-19 and is pushing hard for governors to reopen up their states. Now Trump has deployed his cronies to go after Fauci in full fervor. Fauci is warning us that we are going in the wrong direction and need to correct our course immediately before this thing reaches a point of no return. If you can not see this is happening now, you just don't want to see it.
Anyone or anything that stands contrary to what Trumps wants is fair game. I don't care who it is - a long trail of ousted Trump puppets now lay by the way side. I believe unequivocally if his own kids stood in his way, he would throw them under the bus to protect himself. Dr. Fauci knows the situation is critical and he is sounding the alarm. Trump wants him silenced, so he is now proclaiming Fauci has made many mistakes regarding the coronavirus. News flash: No one knows everything about this virus, and many scientist and medical professionals have modified their original stances throughout the past 5 months. This is why it is called a novel virus.
Seriously Trump? Fauci made mistakes. You are the guy who suggested a big heaping dose of disinfectant may destroy the coronavirus. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, you also suggested a high beam of concentrated light to the body for the infected individual. I do believe it was the only time I ever seen you shamed in your utter stupidity and ignorance to the extent you claimed you were being sarcastic. Every one - and I mean everyone knew you were being serious.
Speaking of shame, how about that Governor Ron DeSantis?This is the kind of "man" that Trump wants to own. This is what Trump expects from his Republican stock, but Fauci did not follow suit. DeSantis is truly one of Trump's leading kept men - a position that he's earned, but should not to proud of. After breaking the record for the most coronavirus cases ever in any state on a single day, DeSantis is insisting sending kids back to school for the slaughter in August. He still refuses to issue an order for Florida residents to wear mask.
Ron DeSantis opened in reckless abandonment at the behest and approval of Trump. So it was no surprise to me when he downplayed Governor Andrew Cuomo's generosity to send supplies of Remdesivir to Florida. DeSantis said "They're not helping us." That is not only a lie, but he thanked Alex Azar and Mike Pence for securing the same drug. This is just plain rotten and mean spirited.Trump just might end up pinning the Medal of Moral Bankruptcy on DeSantis. Just ask Trump, maybe he will show you his - made of molten rock though...
Anyone that speaks out against what Trump is doing is vulnerable. Those who are willing to forfeit lives like DeSantis and Kemp in order to please Trump are safe. Andfor those not part of his controlled pawns, he goes after them even more. He will send out his hounds to attack and maul anyone he perceives standing in his way for reelection. Fox News will step up - ready to parrot whatever Trump says. Yet Trump is too dense to realize Fox News think he is an unwitting idiot and he is actually their pawn (as he is to the Republican Senate) to advance their agendas.
Kayleigh McEnany without much delay came out today in an attempt to water down the lies Donald Trump said about Fauci. "We need to use science, lean in to science but not use it, and cherry-pick it to fit whatever our particular political persuasion is," McEnany said. Seriously? Unbelievably, audacious because that is the whole modus operandi of Trump and his administration - they are the ultimate cherry pickers. She must have been trained personally by Trump and Sara Huckabee-Sanders because her ability to lie is just as effortless.
Donald Trump might even unleash bulldog Barr, who is the poorest excuse for an attorney I have ever seen. William Barr is Trump's attorney - he is not the Attorney General for the United States. He is here to be Trump's concierge and that's it. He has protected Trump from the get go and since the unfortunate time the Republican Senate voted him in. He does not care about America either, because if he did, Barr wouldn't be the instrument of enforcing Trump's self-serving schemes and consistent misuse of power in office.
I knew a few months ago it would be only a matter of time before Trump would attempt to discredit and get rid of Fauci. The quintessential requirements to work for Trump is one's ability to lie, protect him at all cost, and feel good about it. Dr. Fauci is just not wired that way. I will be honest here, at times I have been upset with Fauci for being silent on some issues. But to work in any capacity for Trump, which in his case it is being the lead scientist for the Coronavirus Task Force, you have to do a real tight-rope balancing act.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by George W. Bush in 2008. It would be an untenable position for most people to work with a vicious man like Donald Trump. If you do not do whatever Trump wants, you will never win. To Dr Fauci: You are well respected among the American people, and Trump's assault on you is not going to go down well. In the end you told the truth, and you put American lives over profit and the unethical whims of Donald J. Trump. You should be proud.
