Horrifying thought: What if Trump found out in 2019 that the Russians were paying $100,000 bounties

[LaMouffette]

for dead Americans and he thought to himself, "Hey, now! I could really cash in here!"

That would explain why his response to Covid-19 was so slow, why he called the pandemic a "hoax," why he encouraged people to drink bleach and take hydroxy-whatever, why he has been pushing so hard for businesses to reopen, and now why he wants the schools to reopen. Maybe he gets more money when educated people like teachers and those seeking an education, like schoolchildren, are killed.

I'm just being facetious with this idea of Trump's completely botched response to Covid-19 being caused by his wanting to cash in on the Russian bounty money. He's just phenomenally incompetent and 1,000 percent fixated on winning the 2020 election and keeping his own hide out of prison.

But you have to wonder. It certainly seems like he wants us all dead.

1. Yes, it does seem like that, doesn't it?

It certainly doesn't feel like any kind of election strategy.

2. Money is tRump's #1 thing

So, that would certainly fit with the profile...

3. Okay

Why is it a horrifying thought? If Mary Trump's book is accurate, getting a percentage of the bounties...would be exactly what Trump would do!

As for the COVID-19 situation...he likely ignored it because he found it was a way to funnel money to his allies and cronies...it's also been rumored that he has a small stake in a company that produces hydroxychloroquine...an added bonus was how COVID-19 affected the Black and Latino community!

In the mind of Trump and all Republicans, the more dead black and brown people, the better chance they have of holding onto power...

He wants those who don't worship him to die...it doesn't seem that way, it is that way!!!

4. I think it's generally assumed that's what's happening. But, you know, got to pack them courts!!11!

5. Once upon a time

I would have dismissed this as nonsensical, like the possibility of someone like Trump being president.
