Trump intentionally misinformed the nation, contributing to over 1 million COVID deaths. He knew he was lying but targeted Dr Fauci as the villain. No consequences for Trump or any of his sycophant clowns. Now RFK Jr expanded the lies, incorporating nonsense as policy. Definitely a sh*tshow.

1st mistake America made was believing Trump cared about the country. Only had to look at his very public history - fraud, sexual assault, tax evasion, bankruptcies, phoney self-promotion, racism, etc - to see who he is. Not a smart man, only a vulgar conman.
