  1. There is more than enough evidence to charge Trump with criminal negligent homicide of at least 100 thousand Americans. In proving negligent homicide, the prosecution only needs to establish that the defendants knew the risks associated with their actions. 1. The defendant was aware of the risks associated with the actions that led to the other person’s death. ✔ 2. The defendant acted, or failed to act appropriately in a dangerous situation, and that action or inaction caused the victim’s death. ✔ 3. There is a direct link between the defendant’s conduct and the victim’s death. ✔ Trump has admitted to downplaying the virus from the very beginning. He has been telling lies to the American since January, and with lethal consequences.. Trump told Woodward he's been minimizing the threat posed by the outbreak. Trump: "I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down," Trump said. Trump during February 7 phone call with Bob Woodward: "It goes through air, Bob. That's always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don't have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than your, you know, your even your strenuous flus. This is 5% vs 1%. You know so, this is deadly stuff." Three weeks after that call, Trump told this lie to the public during a February 26 White House press conference: Trump: "It's a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we'll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner." March 19: Trump again talked with Woodward. He acknowledged emerging evidence that a wide age range can be gravely impacted by the coronavirus. Trump: "Now it's turning out it's not just old people, Bob. Just today and yesterday some startling facts came out. It's not just old -- it's plenty of young people," he said. May 6: Following a concerted push to reopen schools beginning in late April, Trump lied again when he suggested that children aren't susceptible to the coronavirus. Trump: "We realize how strong children are, right? Their immune system is maybe a little bit different. Maybe it's just a little bit stronger, or maybe it's a lot stronger," he said. Aug. 5: Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported over 240,000 documented COVID-19 cases in children at this point, Trump told this lie during an interview: Trump: "If you look at children, children are almost -- and I would almost say definitely -- but almost immune from this disease." He adds "They don't have a problem. They just don't have a problem." Trump knew that what he was telling the American was NOT true. And at least 100 thousand American citizens have died because of his lies. Allan Lichtman, the historian known for accurately predicting presidential elections, said that Trump’s downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic will be remembered as “the greatest dereliction of duty” in presidential history..

  2. NEVER FORGET...that it didn't have to be this way. Trump's presidency has been far worse than the tragedy of 9/11. 200 thousand American lives lost equates to about 66 9/11s. And the worst part of it all, is that It didn't have to be this way. It was all preventable, not just in hindsight, but in foresight as well. Trump said that COVID-19  “came out of nowhere” and “blindsided the world.”  His comments left scientists, doctors, and national security experts in a state of disbelief. Experts had been warning about the next pandemic for years and criticized Trump’s decision in 2018 to dismantle a National Security Council directorate at the White House, that was created by President Obama, and was charged with preparing for WHEN, NOT if, another pandemic would hit the nation. Trump spent "two months of completely ignoring every bit of scientific advice," Dr. Ashish Jha, the director of the Harvard Global Health Institute stated in mid-March. "We've wasted two months. And this is not a disease where you're allowed to waste two months." We owe it to the more than 200 thousand American souls that are no longer with us, to remove Trump from office.
