The prosecutors in Trump's upcoming worldwide trial just received the most damning evidence live on TV. This statement by Doctor Anthony Fauci who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984 might as well have come gift-wrapped!
Let's break it down:
"I mean obviously if we had right from the very beginning"
Establishes a timeline. Trump's negligence will be based on two main factors. 1. When was he informed of the CoronaVirus, it's potential dangers to our Country, and the world. 2. When did he react. 3. What negligent actions on the part of Trump, his administration, and staff occurred in between 1. and 2.
ANSWER: TRUMP WAS BUSY CONDUCTING CAMPAIGN RALLIES WHERE HE GLOATED ABOUT "DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS" WHO PRESENTED FACTS AND PROOF BEYOND DOUBT TRUMP IN FACT EXTORTED UKRAINE, USED U.S. DEFENSE FUNDS TO DO SO, ETC ETC ETC.
"shut everything down it might have been a little bit different"
Defines the magnitude of the damage inflicted upon innocent people. Damages in this case are DEATH.
ANSWER: 25,000 PLUS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE REALLY REALLY REALLY PREFERRED "A LITTLE DIFFERENT" OVER DEATH.
"there was a lot of push back about shutting things down back then"
Established the REASONING of why health services, medial facilities, equipment supplies, supportive administrative personnel, hospital resources, military resources, government stockpiles of protective wear, ventilators, etc etc etc were NOT INFORMED/ACTIVATED.
FACT: TRUMP WAS NOT OPEN TO THE NOTION OF SHUTTING DOWN THE ECONOMY BECAUSE HIS REELECTION HINGES ON THAT ONE PERCEIVED POSITIVE OUTCOME OF HIS PRESIDENCY. STOCK MARKET NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED: But, Trump cut health services, public assistance, environmental protections, pandemic councils, etc these created revenues Trump portrayed as "economic growth". LOOK WHAT IT GOT US!
RESULT: Final numbers are yet unknown. As of today, April 14, 2020 at 7:40PM EST 602,989 Americans are confirmed to have been infected. 25,575 Americans are confirmed to have died from the virus.
Current trends estimate deaths from 125,000 to 240,000 as a result of CoronaVirus.
VARIABLE: The question that will be answered in courts of law in the USA and possibly world courts will address HOW MANY LIVES WOULD HAVE BEEN SAVED IF TRUMP AND HIS ADMINISTRATION ACTED MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVELY TO ADDRESS THE PANDEMIC:
1 Day sooner (Mid March 2020) ???,??? LIVES
10 Days sooner (Early March 2020) ???,??? LIVES
30 Days sooner (Early February 2020) ???,??? LIVES
60 Days sooner (Early January 2020) ???,??? LIVES
90 Days sooner (Early December 2019) ???,??? LIVES
UNDENIABLE FACTS:
A. Trump wasted PRECIOUS TIME, DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS standing in front of Americans boasting about his "perfect phone call" and calling Democrats "Do nothings" WHILE HE WAS LITERALLY DOING NOTHING TO SAVE LIVES!!!!
B. The CoronaVirus started in China but early evidence provided to Trump via security briefings and memos and statements from White House Staff, colleagues, Senators, and Congress correctly predicted it would infiltrate the U.S. AND IT'S SPREAD WOULD BE SWIFT, AND DEATHS WOULD HAPPEN EXPONENTIALLY.
C. Early statements by Trump seem to dismiss the severity of the virus, even mocking people who were sounding alarms. His position was at one point the virus was quote "A HOAX" concocted by his opponents to "Make him look bad". THIS IS A HORROR.
PUBLIC CONSENSUS: Although a sizeable number of original Trump supporters continue to stand by their decision to do so in the past month even some of the most staunch "Trumpers" (His terminology) have publicly condemned his late/weak response, his statements and lies concerning the virus, it's dangers and people dying.
ONE THING IS CLEAR: TRUMP WILL BE ACCUSED OF NEGLIGENCE RESULTING IN DEATHS. AND, IF YOU ARE A MEMBER ONE OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES WHO HAVE BURIED A FAMILY MEMBER, A FRIEND, OR NEIGHBOR YOU WILL WANT TO HOLD THOSE RESPONSIBLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LACK OF RESPONSE.
Over the past few days Trump and Pence have been boasting about their quote "early actions"... and even accu
