But what about the exhilaration he can get from the power over others life or death. I somehow think he would get satisfaction knowing he holds the key to people's lives. (Think ventilators, testing, PPE, etc.) Each time the Federal government could have managed the logistics and supply, even prior to the pandemic, Trump chose not to for really no reason at all except to show people he controlled the very breath they breathe.

(82,849 posts)Yes. Trump wanted there to be a lot of deaths. As Robert Palmer once sang, "The truth is irrefutable."

(32,626 posts)around on a dime. He chose not to. And his fellow Republicans in D.C., and in Republican controlled states have been on board since the get-go. They too could have chosen to save lives, but chose not to.
This was brought up tangentially by NYTs Peter Baker after a bad Fox poll was released on Covid and likely voters.
The more deaths the more fear means a higher percentage of Ds will not risk in-person voting vs. the percentage of Rs who feel the same.
(As I recall, that difference was about 13%)
That % difference put the margin of victory in play. Trump could win on deaths!

(22,691 posts)I don't see him jumping in trying to rescue any American from injury or death. Do you?
He's a psychopath / sociopath and he's thriving on the power he has to cause harm. It's what they do.
We should all be terrified and doing everything we can to make sure that he loses his power and suffers for his evil ways.
I am amazed and disgusted by anyone too naive and ignorant to see this, especially politicians everywhere. This is no joke. He's deeply and truly evil.
We are truly in the fight for the soul of our nation, for our lives and the lives of our loved ones.
I have been sick to my stomach every day since he was elected. He MUST be removed by any means necessary. And I mean Any.
