What's this?

Trump's #1 policy goal right now is asking his supporters to ignore science

and literally risk their lives during a deadly pandemic, so long as they go out and spend a few bucks in the process to help the economy so he can get re-elected.

He's not literally shooting people on 5th Avenue, but he sure as hell is figuratively shooting people on 5th Avenue, as over 1,000 Americans currently die each day as he encourages people to go out and ignore the pandemic.

He doesn't care how many Americans die ("it is what it is," "I don't take responsibility at all"), as long as they spend money on their way to kicking the bucket so he can get re-elected.

That's the policy vile gets you.
