Trump's Deadly Legacy


I resisted the temptation to say much about Donald Trump yesterday because it was a day to look forward rather than dwell on the past.

But Trump will be remembered as the American president who failed to take Covid-19 seriously until he caught the virus himself - then he was whisked into hospital by helicopter and provided with the kind of state-of-the-art medical treatment money can't buy. 

For months before he became sick himself Trump mocked the threat posed by Covid and encouraged his supporters to do the same.

As President he showed disdain for social distancing and the importance of wearing face masks - he insisted Covid would just fade away, then he suggested tackling the virus with bleach, then he said it was all a hoax that would magically disappear after Election Day. 

Yet 400,000 Americans died under his watch and with the possible exception of President Bolsanaro in Brazil I think it's fair to say that no other world leader has behaved in such a reckless way.

 

Donald Trump - 'Superspreader-In-Chief' (19/10/20)


The Saturday Night Live team spoofed Donald Trump's erratic behaviour over Covid-19 back in April 2020. 

Since then Trump has ended up in hospital as a direct result of his refusal to take seriously the need for social distancing and the wearing of face masks. 

 

Donald Trump - America's 'Superspreader-in-Chief' (07/10/20)

















Most of the staff at the White House including Trump's wife and senior advisers have been infected with Covid-19.

Private Eye, the UK's best and only fortnightly satirical magazine, knows that the responsibility lies with Donald Trump - America's 'Superspreader-in-Chief'.

 

Trump's Sweaty Old 'Superspreader' (20/11/20)

Rudy Giuliani gives a masterclass in how to spread Covid-19 while not wearing a face mask, though in Rudy's case it looks as if a Hazmat suit might be required to stop Trump's personal lawyer from spreading his sweaty germs everywhere.

Rudy 'Pants' Giuliani (23/10/20)

Young woman (Maria Bakalova): "Shall we have a drink in the bedroom?"

Rudy Giuliani: (Donald Trump's personal lawyer): "You can give me your phone number and address" (While patting the young woman on the ass).  

Rudy Giuliani: lies on bed and puts his hand down his pants.

Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen) barges in and demands: '"Shut down your phone - she's 15!"

Rudy Giuliani (later): "I was just tucking in my shirt!".
