Trump falsely claims frontline healthcare workers are profiting by claiming false COVID-19 diagnoses

Here the president falsely claims frontline healthcare workers are profiting by claiming false #COVID19 diagnoses.

In reality, they are working nonstop, often without adequate PPE, because this administration failed.

To date, more than 1,700 have died.

Let me be very clear: the president is saying healthcare workers - who’ve had to risk our lives every day all over the country because this administration refused to take this pandemic seriously - are liars.

Previously he accused us of stealing PPE. But this is a whole new low.

No doctors are diagnosing people with COVID to make money!

I’m so sick of this BS. I’ve got a sister who thinks mask mandates are unnecessary because “99% of us have already been exposed.” And a friend who is an anti-vaxer who believes the crap about masks being “toxic” to the wearer. She visits her 90+ year old mother all the time and I know she would feel horrible if she infected her mom, but there is no convincing her that masks help prevent infection.

Ugh...no wonder we have the most deaths in the world.

And she loves her mother dearly. She is not racist, she is not stupid, she is one of the kindest people I know. But she bought into the whole anti-vax crap and that sort of thinking tends to also believe in the “masks are toxic” bs as well.

Trump, when he thinks of other people at all, appears to feel that most, perhaps all of them are at best extensions and reflections of him, just as corrupt, just as amoral and ruthless. But he's the smartest, the best, of course.

He can barely speak two sentences without projecting and boasting.
