The Coronavirus Pandemic: (President Trump Gone Awol Mentally)

By Larry Murphy

This book is about the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in the United States without a qualified national leader in the Oval Office to lead the country in handling this pandemic, and exactly why the American people need to get him and Congressional Republicans backing and defending his foolishness and recklessness out of office. America needs qualified and moral people that will ensure the health and safety of all Americans, including immigrants seeking to become American citizens.

Chapter 1

Biden Preferred Over Trump

Majority of Americans Want Biden Handling

Coronavirus Response and the Economy

Not the incompetent and lying Donald Trump

Most Americans would rather see former

Vice President Joe Biden in charge of both

The United States coronavirus response and

The economy than current President Trump

According to data from a new NPR/PBS

NewsHour/Marist poll, however while Biden

.

Biden may have the upper hand in polling

In those areas, the results fall strongly along

Party lines with Republicans and Democrats

Out of those surveyed, 55 percent (55%)

Of those surveyed chose Biden over Trump

To handle the coronavirus pandemic

While 40 percent (40%) of those polled

Said they would rather see Trump handling

Coronavirus issues in the United States

87 percent (87%) of those who supported

Trump in that arena identified themselves

As Republicans and likewise 87 percent (87%)

For Biden labeled themselves as Democrats

Although Trump has taken credit for creating

A strong U.S. economy before the essential

Lockdown of the country due to the coronavirus

Only 44 percent (44%) of those polled say they

Would rather see Trump handle the economy

A little over half or 50 percent (50%) would

Rather see Biden take the economic reins

Biden garnering 51 percent (51%) of the poll

Those who were unsure about which candidate

They would choose numbered 6 percent (6%)

Democrats made up the majority of Biden’s

Support for handling the U.S. economy with

86 percent (86%) throwing the presumptive

Democratic presidential nominee their support

However, 92 percent (92%) of the Republicans

Polled wanted Trump to handle the economy

With only 7 percent (7%) of Republican voter

Leaning toward former Vice President Joe Biden

Overall, 48% of Americans disapprove of how

Trump is handling the economy which represents

A 3 percent (3%) increase of March’s poll when 45

Percent (45%) of those polled indicated they did not

Approve of how Trump is handling the economy

Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic

Garnered a larger jump in the disapproval rating

.

While 49 percent (49%) of those surveyed

Voiced their disapproval in the March poll

55 percent (55%) now say they do not approve

Of Trump’s response to coronavirus pandemic

Which is a 6 percent (6%) increase from March

Biden suggested during a Monday interview

On April 27, 2020 with CBS Miami that he would

Take a more global approach to economic matters

Former Vice President Joe Biden on the matter said

"I would get much more engaged in the world

We can’t step back, if fact, for example we solve

The problem in the United States of America

And you don’t solve it in other parts of the world

You know what’s going to happen, you’re going

To have travel bans and you’re going to not be able

To do and have economic intercourse around the

World when it’s America first, it’s America alone!!!"

Although stay-at-home orders issued by

State governors have impacted businesses

Forcing many to temporarily close or shut

Down completely, Trump has envisioned

A rapid rebound for the U.S. economy on

Tuesday, April 28, 2020 during a meeting

With Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, saying

"I think the fourth quarter is going to be really

Strong and I think next year is going to be

A tremendous year; that’s what’s building

Third quarter is a transition quarter

Second quarter is what it is!!!"

Business closures forced the U.S. Gross

Domestic Product (GDP) to fall at an annual

Rate of 4.8 percent (4.8%) for the first (1st)

Quarter of 2020, which represents the

First (1st) decrease in the GDP since 2014

Anthony Stephen Fauci is an American

Physician and immunologist who has served

As the Director of the National Institute of

Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984

Since January 2020, he has been one of the lead

Members of the Trump Administrations White

House Coronavirus Task Force addressing the

2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in the United States

Fauci is widely seen to be one of the most trusted

Medical figures in the United States of America

The White House will not allow the leading

Immunologist on the coronavirus task force to

Testify to Congress next week calling the request

Counter-productive to the administration’s efforts

To contain the coronavirus pandemic

Dr. Fauci’s testimony had been requested

By the House Appropriations Committee as

Part of an investigation into the White House’s

Response to the COVID-19 pandemic

A House Appropriations Committee s

Spokesman Evan Hollander on Friday

May 1, 2020 stated the following

"The Appropriations Committee sought Dr.

Anthony Fauci as a witness at next week’s

Labor-HHS Education Subcommittee hearing

On COVID-19 response

We have been informed by an administration

Official that the White House has blocked

Dr. Fauci from testifying!!!"

Fauci has become one of the most well

Recognized experts in the administration’s

Coronavirus response team and often speaking

Publicly during task force briefings, and at times

Seeming to contradict statements made by Trump

A White House official on the matter said

"We expressed openness from the White House

To having him testify but requested we be given

The parameters of what the hearing would entail

So we could determine if he was the best guess

Or if it was someone else’s jurisdiction!!!"

The White House official in a statement added

That the Chairman didn’t follow-up, saying

"If this was truly a serious effort to have someone

Testify on the appropriations need around

Coronavirus they certainly didn’t handle it

Like it was!!!"

On Friday, May 1, 2020 White House

Spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement that

"The administration was committed to working

With Congress to offer testimony at the

Appropriate time!!!"

Chapter 2

The PREDICT PROJECT

As we all can clearly see who care to see

That even during this coronavirus pandemic

In which more lives have been lost than lives

During the Vietnam War, which also known as

The Second Indochina War, and in Vietnam as

The Resistance War Against America or simply

The American War was a conflict in Vietnam

Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955

To the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975

This Vietnam War lasted for two (2) decades

Or Twenty (20) years and this Coronavirus

Pandemic is now just in its beginning stage

The Trump administration with the support

And backing of Congressional Republicans

Both in the United States House and Senate

Continue to play dangerous and deadly partisan

Politics with the coronavirus pandemic facts

Affecting the health, safety, and welfare of the

American people including family members

Who have gotten sick and many ultimately dying

From this coronavirus pandemic unnecessarily

Two (2) months before the novel coronavirus

Is thought to have begun its deadly advance

In Wuhan, China, the Trump administration

Ended a $200-million pandemic early-warning

Program aimed at training scientists in China

And other countries to detect and respond to such

A coronavirus pandemic threat

The project launched by the United States

Agency for International Development in 2009

Identified 1,200 different viruses that had the

Potential to erupt into pandemics, including

More than 160 novel coronaviruses

The initiative called PREDICT also trained

And supported staff in 60 foreign laboratories

Including the Wuhan lab that identified SARS

CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19

Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance

A key player in the PREDICT program said

"Field work ceased when the funding ran out in

September 2019 and organizations that worked

On the PREDICT program laid off dozens

Of scientists and analysts!!!"

On Wednesday, April 1, 2020 USAID granted

An emergency extension to the program, issuing

$2.26 million over the next six (6) months to send

Experts who will help foreign labs squelch the

Coronavirus pandemic, but program leaders say

The funding will do little to further the initiative’s

Original mission of detecting and responding and

Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance said

"Look at the name: Our efforts were to predict

This before it happens. That’s the part of the

Program that was exciting and that’s the part I’m

Worried about

It’s absolutely critical that we don’t drop

The idea of a large-scale, proactive, predictive

Program that tries to catch pandemics before

They happen

Cutting a program that could in any way reduce

The risk of things like COVID-19 happening

Again is, by any measure, shortsighted!!!"

It is unclear whether another five-year grant

Would have dulled the impact of the current

Coronavirus, but the Trump Administration has

Come under increased criticism for its past moves

To downgrade global health security, including

Proposals to slash funding to science agencies

And the elimination of the National Security

Council’s key global health post

Spokesman for USAID on the matter said

PREDICT was just one component of USAID’s

Global health security efforts and accounted for

Less than 20% of our global health security funding

A new initiative to stop the spillover of viruses

From animals to humans is scheduled to be

Awarded in August 2020!!!"

The PREDICT project, which operated on two (2)

Five-year funding cycles that formally concluded

Last September 2009 enrolled both epidemiologists

And wildlife veterinarians to examine the types of

Interactions between animals and humans

That researchers suspect led to the current

Outbreak of COVID-19

Jonna Mazet, Executive Director of the One

Health Institute in the UC Davis School of

Veterinary Medicine, who served as the global

Director of PREDICT for a decade stated

"The pandemic didn’t surprise us, unfortunately

The work had been ongoing for some time and

When the crisis hits, everybody stands up and

Takes notice and says, ‘OK, we believe you!!!"

The PREDICT project launched in response

To the 2005 H5N1 bird flu scare gathered

Specimens from more than 10,000 bats and 2,000

Other mammals in search of dangerous viruses

They detected about 1,200 viruses that could

Spread from wild animals to humans signaling

Pandemic potential

More than 160 of them were novel coronaviruses

Much like SARS-CoV-2

They also took blood samples from people

In rural China, and learned that, in living among

Wildlife they had been exposed to coronaviruses

A clear sign that if those viruses spread easily

Among humans, they could take off, Mazet said

"That raised the red flag

Coronaviruses were jumping easily across

Species lines and were ones to watch

For epidemics and pandemics!!!"

"The program also trained nearly 7,000 people

Across medical and agricultural sectors in 30

Countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East

To help them detect deadly new viruses

On their own and one of those labs was the

Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab

That quickly identified SARS-CoV-2!!!"

The Wuhan lab received USAID funding

For equipment, and PREDICT coordinators

Connected the scientists there with researchers

In other countries in order to synchronize

tracking of novel viruses before SARS-CoV-2

The project’s second funding cycle concluded

On September 30, 2019, less than two (2) months

Before the new coronavirus probably began spreading

It was granted a zero-dollar six-month extension

Through March 2020 to write up final reports

Dennis Carroll, a widely respected scientist

Who headed USAID’s emerging threats division

Oversaw the initiative for its duration, but retired

Around the time it was shut down

Carroll did not respond to an inquiry from The

Times, but told the New York Times last year

That by January 2019, the program had essentially

Collapsed into hibernation," and that its

Conclusion was due to "the ascension of risk

Averse bureaucrats!!!"

Other members of the consortium included

Columbia University’s Center for Infection

And Immunity and several institutes that manage

Major United States zoos

Earlier this year in 2020 as COVID-19 took off

United States lawmakers expressed frustration

Over the program’s end as Senators Elizabeth

Warren and Angus King wrote a letter to USAID’s

Administrators earlier this year in 2020 asking

For details on the decision stating on the matter

"Addressing and preventing the spread

Of coronavirus and potential pandemic

Disease outbreaks is a serious matter

That requires adequate resources for and

Cooperation between experts throughout

The federal government!!!"

On Wednesday, April 1, 2020 the PREDICT

Program was extended through September 2020

To offer emergency technical assistance to foreign

Labs battling the coronavirus pandemic

Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance said

"To date, PREDICT-supported labs in Malaysia

Thailand and Indonesia are actively testing

For coronavirus and he has been sending

Reagents and other supplies to assist them!!!"

Jonna Mazet, Executive Director of the One

Health Institute in the UC Davis School of

Veterinary Medicine, who served as the global

Director of PREDICT for a decade said

"Meanwhile, in Rwanda, scientists who had been

Trained in the PREDICT program triggered early

Social distancing measures and I do think that what

We were doing has changed the outcomes for a lot

Of countries, but unfortunately, not our own!!!"

Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance said

"He’s eager to further examine the hundreds of

Wildlife samples collected during the PREDICT

Initiative over the years, looking to identify whether

Any of them could have been intermediate hosts

For the virus currently sweeping the globe

But with the limited budget and timeline, efforts to

Continue in-depth field work under PREDICT will

Be minimal and most of the extension funding will

Be focused on squelching the current outbreak

And not preventing the next outbreak!!!"

"It’s common sense to know your enemy

Instead, we’re all hiding inside our houses as we

Wait around for a vaccine and that’s not a good

Global strategy to battling a dangerous virus!!!"

Chapter 3

Protests Against Lockdowns by States

Hundreds of people protested outside the

Michigan Capitol building in Lansing on

Thursday, April 30, 2020 with some pushing

Inside while the Legislature was debating an

Extension of Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s

State of emergency in response to the coronavirus

Pandemic and in according to NBC affiliate

WDIV of Detroit, protesters held signs, waved

American flags and even carried firearms

While some chanted

Let us in! and "This is the people’s

House, you cannot lock us out!!!"

Others tried to get onto the House floor

But were blocked by state police and

And sergeants at arms

A state police spokesman told NBC News

That it is legal in Michigan to carry firearms

As long as it’s done with lawful intent and the

Weapon is visible

Michigan United for Liberty organized

The protest dubbed the American Patriot

Rally to call for the reopening of businesses

State lawmakers who are Republican led in

Both chambers on Thursday night, April 30,

2020 declined to extend the state’s emergency

Declaration before it expired at midnight

Instead, they voted to bring a lawsuit to

Challenge Whitmer’s authority and actions

To fight the coronavirus pandemic

The Democratic governor quickly issued new

Orders stating that an emergency still exists

While also declaring new 28-day states of

Emergency and disaster

Democratic Governor Whitmer after the

Legislature’s vote said in a statement

"Republican lawmakers are putting their

Heads into the sand and putting more

Lives and livelihoods at risk

I’m not going to let that happen!!!"

Whitmer, who has faced fierce backlash

For her strict stay-at-home mandate

Extended the order earlier this month until

May 15, 2020, but she eased some restrictions

On public activities as the state’s coronavirus

Cases stabilize, Michigan, however, still has more

Than 40,000 cases and is one of the hardest-hit states

Who is wise and understanding among you?

Let him show by good conduct that his works

are done in the meekness of wisdom. (Ja. 3:13)

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking

in your hearts, do not boast and lie against

the truth. (Ja. 3:14)

This wisdom does not descend from above,

but is earthly, sensual, demonic. (Ja. 3:15)

For where envy and self-seeking exist,

confusion and every evil thing are there. (Ja. 3:16)

The emergency declaration gives Whitmer

Authority to issue executive orders during

A crisis and its extension is separate from that

Of the stay-at-home order

According to NBC affiliate WOOD of Grand

Rapids, as the protests moved indoors from the

Rainy steps of the Capitol, police took the

Like the Operation Gridlock demonstration

April 15, 2020 over Whitmer’s stay-at-home order

Many demonstrators appeared to be supporters of

President Donald Trump, donning "Make American

Great Again" campaign hats and in one instance

Putting on a dance routine by two (2) girls wearing

Masks that appeared to be of President Trump

And former President Barack Obama

The Coronavirus Pandemic Crisis is far from

Being over and it is not by any means whatsoever

Under control and these facts those who are wise

And understanding have received and accepted

And seek to follow recommended guidance

From medical experts specializing in this field

Of studies to stay at home and be safe and social

Distancing from one another of at least six (6) feet

However, there are those who are being wise

In their own eyes strongly pushing against medical

Experts’ recommended guidance who strongly seek

For things to be normalized as they were before

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic

Demanding states’ stay-at-home orders and

Social distancing guidance be lifted or rescinded

In spite of the possible dangers and likely deaths

That could and most likely will occur from such

Unrecommended gatherings during this deadly

Coronavirus pandemic crisis still lingering

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.

The tongue is so set among our members

that it defiles the whole body,

and sets on fire the course of nature;

and it is set on fire by hell. (Ja. 3:6)

For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile

and creature of the sea, is tamed and

has been tamed by mankind. (Ja. 3:7)

But no man can tame the tongue.

It is an unruly evil,

full of deadly poison. (Ja. 4:8)

With it we bless our God and Father,

and with it we curse men, who have been

made in the similitude of God. (Ja. 3:9)

Out of the same mouth proceed blessing

and cursing. My brethren, these things

ought not to be so. (Ja. 3:10)

Does a spring send forth fresh water

And bitter from the same opening? (Ja. 3:11)

Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives,

or a grapevine bear figs?

Thus no spring yields

both salt water and fresh. (Ja. 3:12)

The heart of the righteous studies

how to answer,

But the mouth of the wicked

pours forth evil. (Prov. 15:28)

Do you see a man

wise in his own eyes?

There is more hope for a fool

than for him. (Prov. 26:12)

Do you see a man

hasty in his words?

There is more hope for a fool

than for him. (Prov. 29:29)

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during

A Fox News town hall at the Lincoln Memorial

In Washington, D.C., on Sunday, May 3, 2020

Anxious to spur an economic recovery without

Risking lives, President Donald Trump insists

That you can satisfy both, see states gradually

Lift lockdowns while also protecting people from

The coronavirus pandemic that has killed

More than 66,000 Americans

President Donald Trump fielding questions

From Americans Sunday night, May 3, 2020

In a virtual town hall from the Lincoln Memorial

Acknowledged valid fears on both sides of the issue

Some people are worried about getting sick

Others are reeling from lost jobs and livelihoods

But while Trump increased his projection

For the total U.S. death total to 80,000 or 90,000

Up by more than 20,000 fatalities from what

He had suggested just a few weeks ago

President Trump struck a note of urgency

To restart the nation’s economy declaring

We have to reopen our country, saying

"We have to get it back open safely

But as quickly as possible!!!"

After more than a month of being cooped

Up at the White House, Trump returned from

A weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat

In Maryland for the virtual town hall hosted

By Fox News Channel.

The president said of his monumental backdrop

We never had a more beautiful set than this!!!

As concerns mount about his reelection bid

Trump stuck to his relentlessly optimistic view

Of the nation’s ability to rebound soon, saying

"It is all working out

It is horrible to go through

But it is working out!!!"

Many public health experts believe the nation

Cannot safely reopen fully until a vaccine

Is developed, however, Trump declared Sunday

He believed one could be available by year’s end

U.S. public health officials have said a vaccine

Is probably a year to 18 months away

But Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading

Expert on infectious diseases and member of the

White House coronavirus task force said in late

April 2020 that it is conceivable if a vaccine is

Soon developed, that the vaccine could be in wide

Distribution as early as January 2021

Though the Trump administration’s handling

Of the coronavirus pandemic, particularly its

Ability to conduct widespread testing has come

Under fierce scrutiny as Trump tried to shift

The blame to China and said the United States

Was ready to begin reopening its businesses, saying

"I’ll tell you one thing

We did the right thing and I really believe

We saved a million and a half lives!!!"

But Trump also broke with the assessment

Of his Senior Advisor and son-in-law Jared

Kushner, saying on the matter

"It was too soon to say the federal

Government had overseen a success story!!!"

Trump’s impatience also flashed out

While noting that states would go at their own

Pace in returning to normal, with the ones harder

By the coronavirus pandemic going slower

He showed his impatience and push saying

"Some states, frankly

I think aren’t going fast enough!!!"

President Trump singled out Virginia which

Has a Democratic governor and legislature and

He urged the nation’s schools and universities

To return to classes this fall in 2020

Federal guidelines that encouraged people

To stay at home and practice social distancing

Expired last week on April 30, 2020

Debate continued over moves by governors

To start reopening state economies that tanked

After shopping malls, salons and other nonessential

businesses were ordered closed in attempt to slow

A coronavirus pandemic that has killed more

Than 66,000 Americans according to a tally

Of reported deaths by Johns Hopkins University

Chapter 4

The United States Economy Suffers

The United States economy has suffered

Shrinking at a 4.8% annual rate from January

Through March 2020 the government estimated

And roughly 30.3 million people have filed

For unemployment aid in the six (6) weeks since

The coronavirus outbreak forced employers

To shut down and slash their workforces

President Trump’s advisors have nervously

Watched his support slip in battle ground states

And Trump was told by his advisors last month

If the presidential election was held on that day

He would lose to former Vice President Joe Biden

As such, the urgency of Republicans placing

The reopening of the economy above the health

Safety and welfare of the American people

For President Trump’s re-election interests

Should be noted and emphasized as inhumane

Totally without compassion for the misery and

Suffering for the American people during this

Coronavirus pandemic for his personal interests

President Trump’s aides believe "restarting" the

Economy even with its health risks, is essential

To a victory in November 2020 and are pushing

For Trump to pivot away from discussions

About the coronavirus pandemic and onto an

American comeback story

How is it that any decent and moral person

Having sympathy and empathy for others

Especially and in particularly those who have

Suffered and died during this coronavirus

Pandemic support and defend this idiot

Of a president that is only concerned about

Himself and himself only, seriously think

About and think about it seriously

These are thoughts and intentions of a wicked

Man with only his personal interests at heart

And to that end, Trump will begin traveling again

With a trip to a mask factory in Arizona planned

For Tuesday, May 4, 2020 and he is set to speak

In June 2020 at commencement for the United

States Military Academy at West Point

West Point students returning to campus for

Commencement will require graduates to self

Isolate for fourteen (14) days, but Trump insisted

That the event poses no risk to the cadets

The town hall which included an appearance

By Vice President Mike Pence included a rare

Mea culpa or an acknowledgement for one’s

Own fault or error as Pence said he should have

Worn a facemask during a visit last week to

Minnesota’s Mayo Clinic in which his failure

To wear a mask violated the Mayo Clinic’s

Guidelines and drew significant criticism

Elsewhere in Washington, the Senate planned

To reopen Monday, April 5, 2020 despite the area’s

Continued status as a virus hot spot and with the

Region still under stay-at-home orders

The House remains shuttered as debate continues

On what the next stage of the economic recovery

May look like as state and local governments are

Seeking up to $1 trillion in coronavirus costs

Which has been met with some objections

By congressional Republicans

Trump said that while he thought common

Ground could be found with Democrats over

An infrastructure package, he concluded saying

"We’re not doing anything

Unless we get a payroll tax cut

That is so important

To the success of our country!!!"

President Trump’s proposal has been met

With objections from both parties

The leaders of California and Michigan

Are among governors under public pressure

Over lockdowns still in effect while states such

As Florida, Georgia and Ohio are reopening

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

A Democrat said Sunday, May 3, 2020 that

"The armed protesters who demonstrated inside

Her state’s Capitol "depicted some of the worst

Racism and awful parts" of United States

History by showing up with Confederate flags

Nooses and swastikas!!!"

Trump on Sunday night, May 3, 2020 singled

Out Whitmer and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee

Also, a Democrat for criticism even as he praised

The federal coordination with most governors

Trump also complained that some Democrats

Would rather people get sick than given him

Any credit for pushing the use of a malaria drug

For treating COVID-19, though it has not been

Proven to be safe and effective for that use

Chapter 5

Assessment of Trump’s Character 2016

On May 4, 2016, about six (6) months prior

To the November 2016 presidential election

Bart Rossi a prominent political psychologist

Who holds a doctorate from Fordham University

Based on observation and not a medical

On Republican presidential frontrunner

Donald J. Trump make said the following

Trump has trouble with the truth and he has said

Things that he’s quite frankly wrong about and

That appear to be flat-out lies and fabrications

Rossi, whose career has included psychological

Evaluations of prison inmates and police officers

On President Donald Trump went on to say

"That doesn’t mean he’s pathological

Though I see him as a master manipulator

He’s deliberate in his fabrication

Pathological means that someone is going

To go from one lie to the next to the next

Possibly without control; in Trump’s case

It could very well be the opposite

Trump doesn’t appear to be delusional

He knows what he’s saying is wrong!!!"

In the world according to Cruz ironically

The man Trump nicknamed Lyin Ted while

Accusing him of underhanded campaign tactics

Trump would ostensibly fit the profile

Of a pathological liar

For example, Cruz claimed that practically

Everything Trump says is bull

Which would match the description at hand

Ted Cruz unleashed a stream of invective at

Republican presidential primary foe Donald

Trump on Tuesday, May 3, 2016 as voters

Headed to the polls in the crucial Indiana primary

Among the now-departed Cruz’s pronouncements

Trump is a pathological liar!!!

The blustering billionaire frontrunner does

Display traits of an authoritarian personality

Based on observation, not a medical examination

"What happens is a lot of these so-called

Authoritarian figures, they really stretch things

They spin and they make things up that are really

Really not true and in Trump’s case to present

Himself as this authoritarian figure

He will basically say almost anything to get

More attention [for] himself!!!"

On top of that Trump’s penchant or habitual

Liking for something or tendency to do something

For exaggeration may feed on itself because Trump

Derives what Rossi called secondary gains as a result

He gets encouraged because he can say things

That are outrageous and get away with it

And he goes down that road again

In short, Trump a former reality show star

Knows what his audience wants to hear

And how to convey it

"With Trump, it’s not the accuracy of what

He says that’s most important to his followers

They don’t even care if he’s going to build [a]

Wall on the U.S.-Mexico border as he’s promised

To do (on Mexico’s tab)

By saying he will build the wall he positioned

Himself as a strong leader who cares about

Bolstering national security or protecting American

Jobs supposedly being pilfered or stolen by immigrants

And anyway, as Rossi puts it, his followers want

Him to be a smackdown and putdown artist

Trump’s talk, whether claiming President Barack

Obama was not born in the United States or by

Some other unproven remark, has been lethal

To his opponents and Cruz is potentially next

On the chopping block as he stares down what

Could be his seventh (7th) straight loss in

Tuesday’s, May 3, 2016 Indiana GOP primary

If Trump becomes the nominee and Hillary

Clinton defeats Bernie Sanders for the

Democratic nomination, Rossi has a bit of advice

for the woman Trump calls Crooked Hillary

"They should [call him] Bankrupt Donald

I don’t think she should get into the gutter with

Him, I think she should have a pushback!!!"

From Rossi’s observation and my personal

Observation of Trump’s behavior practices

He has major problems with the truth

Has said and continues to say things that are

Quite frankly wrong and have proven to be

Flat-out lies and deliberate fabrications

He appears to hold idiosyncratic beliefs or

Impressions that are contradicted by reality or

Rational argument with false convictions

Not shared by other reasonable and sensible

Of honesty and integrity qualities

He is a master manipulator with his lies and

Uses his lies to gaslight those drawn into his web

Of deception filled with conspiracy theories about

Anything he opposes from his personal viewpoints

Whatever it takes to exalt himself he will do it

At the expense of belittling and crushing others

With his profoundly perverse and filthy mouth

Lying and stealing is the art of the deal from him

When Trump claimed Muslims celebrated

In New Jersey after 9/11, he set off a hunt

For evidence that did not materialize which

Never matter though to Trump because he had

Just completed another fabrication liken unto

The Obama birthism which has emboldened him

To be able to say anything and get away with it

Trump does not only present himself as an

Authoritarian figure but desperately desires being

An authoritarian figure like other strongmen he has

Admired and praised over the years reflects why he

Really stretch things, spinning and making things

Up premeditatedly and deliberately that are really

Not true while basically saying almost anything

To bring or to get more attention for himself

Which Trump does often and very often

This wicked man’s character is the same today

In May 2020 as it was the in May 2016

As a leopard never changes its spots applies

With Trump’s character as to how impossible

It is for him to change his wicked character

When he enjoys what he practices doing daily

His wisdom is earthly, sensual, demonic

But the wisdom that is from above

is first pure, then peaceable, gentle,

willing to yield, full of mercy and good

fruits, without partiality and without

hypocrisy. (Ja. 3:17)

Now the fruit of righteousness

is sown in peace by those

who make peace. (Ja. 3:18)

The wisdom of Donald J. Trump

Is certainly not from above but is

Earthly, sensual, demonic, and filled

With envy and self-ambition that drives

Him to boast and lie against the truth

Chapter 6

Ruin and Devastation in America

The American people are experiencing this high

Degree of ruin and devastation as a direct result

Of the reckless and careless handling of the

Coronavirus pandemic by the Trump administration

The handling of this coronavirus pandemic is one

If not the worst failure in United States history

The United States leads the world in the number

Of total coronavirus cases with 1,208,101 and total

Deaths with 69,579 as of May 4, 2020

Which equates to 13.7 times the total number

Of cases and 15.01 times the total number

Of deaths in China Mainland as of May 4, 2020

Spain is second (2nd) to the United states in the

Number of total cases with 247,122 which equates

To 4.9 times less cases than the United states

Italy is second (2nd) to the United states in the

Number of total deaths with 29,079 which equates

To 2.4 times less deaths than the United States

What has the United States done so terribly that

Has caused so many cases and deaths

Something went terribly wrong and that wrong

Was generated within the Trump administration

New models predict dramatically more deaths

As states relax shutdowns and social distance rules

An influential coronavirus model often cited by

The White House is now forecasting that 134,000

People will die of Covid-19 in the United States

Nearly double its previous prediction

The model, from the Institute for Health Metrics

And Evaluation at the University of Washington

Had predicted 72,433 deaths as of Monday

Morning, May 4, 2020

Relatedly, a Trump administration model projects

A rise in coronavirus cases and deaths in the weeks

Ahead, up to about 3,000 daily deaths in the U.S.

By June 1, 2020 according to an internal document

Obtained by The New York Times

Over the past week of April 27 thru May 3, 2020

About 2,000 people died daily in the United States

According to data from Johns Hopkins University

The sharp increases in the two (2) models are tied

To relaxed social distancing and increased mobility

In the United States across the country, including

FLORDIA, COLORADO, INDIANA, NEBRASKA

And SOUTH CAROLINA have eased restrictions

In attempt to revive a sputtering economy and

Calm restless residents in their impatience

Impatient dead people cannot work and impatient

Dead people have no need to be calmed from their

Restlessness here on this earth any longer

HME Director Dr. Christopher Murray told CNN’s

Wolf Blitzer that other factors included states adding

Presumptive coronavirus deaths to their statistics and

The rising number of cases in some meatpacking plants

In the country, states have to balance their actions, saying

"I think the challenge for us all is to figure out what’s

The trajectory of relaxing social distancing on a

Measured pace that will protect us from big increases

Or even a full-scale resurgence!!!"

The projections make clear

That these re-openings come with fatal risks

CNN’s Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth

Cohen stated on the matter of re-opening

"It’s simple logic: When you tell people

Hey, you can go to bars, you can get your

Nails done, you can go to a restaurant

Those numbers are going to go up!!!"

The novel coronavirus’s incubation period

Or the time from exposure to developing symptoms

Ranges from two (2) to fourteen (14) days

According to the CDC and the coronavirus can even

Spread among people who show no symptoms at all

With widespread testing still limited

The consequences of these re-openings

May not be evident for several weeks.

Ali Mokdad, a Professor of Health Metrics

Sciences at IHME told CNN’s John King that there

Are several reasons for the increased projections, saying

"One of them is increased mobility before the

Relaxation, premature relaxation, of social distancing

We’re adding more presumptive deaths as well, and

We’re seeing a lot of outbreaks in the Midwest

For example, multiple variables impact infections

Like heat, testing capacity and population density

But the most important one is mobility; Right now

We’re seeing an increase in mobility

That’s leading to an increase in mortality

Unfortunately, in the U.S.!!!"

Coronavirus has killed more than 68,000 people

In the United States and infected more than 1,180,000

According to data from Johns Hopkins University

President Donald Trump had previously said

He expected 65,000 Americans to die, but on

Sunday night, May 3, 2020 he revised that

Estimate death toll up to 80,000-90,000 people

It may not be the last upward revision

Dr. Deborah Birx, a White House Coronavirus

Task Force official, said projections have shown

Between 100,000 to 240,000 American deaths

Even with social distancing in place

In CALIFORNIA, anger had been rising at

Governor Newsom for keeping some beaches closed

Two (2) beach cities in Southern California

Dana Point and Huntington Beach "voted to file

An injunction" last week against the governor’s order

To temporarily close all beaches in Orange County

Newsom said Monday, May 4, 2020 that two (2)

Other cities, Laguna Beach and San Clemente

Can reopen on a limited basis: law enforcement

In those areas put together an outstanding plan

To reopen the beaches and that other beach opening

Announcements could happen in the coming days

Governor Newsome also said Monday, May 4, 2020

That some stores in California will be allowed to open

At the end of the week (around May 11, 2020)

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he does not

Think the city will reopen earlier than May 15, 2020

And SAN FRANCISCO Mayor London Breed said

They may need more time to open businesses

Responsibly so they don’t undo progress made

Against Covid-19, at a press conference saying

"We’re talking about new guidelines for restaurants

Now and we’re talking about new guidelines

For gyms and other places, but can we say

Definitively that those businesses are going

To be open this Friday, May 8, 2020

No, we can’t, and we don’t want San Francisco

To go backwards!!!"

Chapter 7

Further Re-Opening of the Economy

Among the other states re-openings that started

Monday, May 4, 2020 are the following

In COLORADO offices can reopen at 50% capacity

With other guidelines, including allowing 6 feet

Between employees’ desks and increased cleaning

Still, the state encourages businesses to allow

Telecommuting when possible

In FLORIDA phase one (1) of reopening begins

That phase allows non-urgent surgeries and

Restaurants can open for outdoor dining with 6

Feet between tables and indoor seating at 25%

Capacity and can reopen at 25% capacity

Other businesses including bars, gyms and

Hair salons will remain closed and three (3)

Highly populated counties are not included

In NEBRASKA most churches, salons and

Restaurants can reopen

In SOUTH CAROLINA, the work-or-home

Order is being made voluntary and restaurants

Can begin outdoor dining

In VERMONT Governor Phil Scott expects

Thousands of residents to return to work after

An executive order that allows them to operate

With new safety rules and manufacturing

Construction and distribution businesses

Can operate with ten (10) or fewer employees

Stay-at-home orders also expire Monday

May 11, 2020 in KANSAS and WEST VIRGINIA

Even in reopening states, officials continue

To recommend people stay at least 6 feet away

From others, wear a face covering outside the

Home, wash their hands frequently and avoid

Touching their face

The public pressure to ease restrictions is rising

Even in states with significant outbreaks, and this

Weekend, thousands gathered in CALIFORNIA

To protest coronavirus restrictions, leading to 32

Arrests at the state Capitol

In MASSACHUSETTS demonstrators on Monday

May 4, 2020 gathered outside the State House

In Boston and CNN affiliate WCVB said some

Of the hundreds of protesters wore masks

As is required, but most did not.

In CHICAGO, the nation’s third most-populous

City with 2.7 million residents has reached the sad

Milestone of 1,000 coronavirus deaths and

According to Mayor Lori Lightfoot at least 1,014

Have died according to the city’s health department

In two (2) months the number of coronavirus deaths

In the city of CHICAGO has now more than doubled

The amount of homicides in the city in 2019

NEW YORK Governor Andrew Cuomo reported

That the number of intubations in the state hit

Hardest by coronavirus is down, and the total

Number of hospitalizations is below 10,000

For the first (1st) time since March 2020

Still Governor Cuomo has expressed frustration

With the slow decline in cases, especially compared

With how rapidly cases increased initially, saying

"We’re on the other side of the mountain

But the decline from the mountain is not as

Steep as the incline, but the improvement does

Not mean the nation can let down its guard!!!"

BOSTON Mayor Marty Walsh said numbers

In his city have been steady for a few days

But he is concerned about relaxing restrictions

On CNN’s "The Situation Room With Wolf

Blitzer" Mayor Marty Walsh stated

"I appreciate that people are wanting to open

Up the economy; I want to open up the economy

"I also want to save people’s lives

And I find that that’s my job right now

And that’s what every governor and every

Mayor in the United States of America’s job

Should be right now, is saving lives

And reducing the spread of the virus!!!"

White House Coronavirus Task Force member

Dr. Anthony Fauci also warned that lifting

Measures prematurely could lead to a "rebound

Of the virus" that could put the United States

In the same boat that we were a few weeks ago

And a second (2nd) round of the virus is inevitable

Its severity will depend on how prepared the

Nation is!!!"

People flooded outdoor spots amid "relaxed

Restrictions" and a heat wave, and police had

Challenges at some outdoor spaces, including

A "lack of social distancing and "limited use

Of face masks"

For example, the Miami Beach Police

Department announced it would close South

Pointe Park again until further notice due to

"Non-compliance"

Across Miami Beach over the weekend more

Than 7,300 warnings were issued for failure

To wear a face covering according to police

More than 470 warnings were issued for

Failing to social distance and more than 1,300

People were asked to leave parks after closing

In NEW YORK where parks were full of socially

Distanced sunbathers this weekend, Gov. Cuomo

Said Sunday, May 3, 2020 that not wearing a mask

In public is disrespectful to others

NEW YORK CITY Mayor Bill de Blasio

Announced Monday, May 4, 2020 "to solve

That New York City is distributing 7.5 million

Face coverings at various locations around the city"

Five (5) million three-ply non-medical masks

And 2.5 million cloth face coverings will be

Distributed wherever social distancing guidelines

Are enforced, including grocery stores, public parks

And the Staten Island Ferry; The face coverings will

Also be made available at New York Housing

Authority sites and city-provided meal program sites!!!"

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

Said Monday, May 4, 2020 that the country

Needs to reopen, despite separate key coronavirus

Models forecasting that thousands may die daily

In the United States from Covid-19 and that more

Than 100,000 may die in total, told CNN’s Dana

Bash on The Daily DC Podcast stating

"Of course, everybody wants to save every life

They can but the question is towards what end

Ultimately and are there ways that we can thread

The middle here to allow that there are going

To be deaths and there are going to be deaths

No matter what; that we’ve got to let some of these

Folks get back to work, because if we don’t we’re

Going to destroy the American way of life

In these families and it will be years and years

Before we can recover!!!"

Christie, a Republican tapped to lead President

Donald Trump’s presidential transaction team

In 2016 comments made Monday, May 4, 2020

Echoed similar characterizations by other

Republicans including President Donald Trump

That the economic impact of coronavirus is just

As devastating to the nation as the virus itself

When Bash pressed Christie on whether people

Would be able to accept reopening in light of news

Of a Trump administration model projecting a rise up

To about 3,000 daily US deaths from coronavirus

By June 1, 2020 Christie responded saying

"They’re gonna have to

We’re in the midst of a pandemic

That we haven’t seen in over 100 years

And we’re going to have to continue

To do things!!!"

With governors facing mounting pressure

Mounting to reopen their states’ economies and

Trump itching to scale back on social distancing

Nationwide as soon as possible, more than half

Or 50% of states had lifted aspects of their stay

At-home orders as of Monday, May 4, 2020

Yet, a separate influential coronavirus model often

Cited by the White House is now forecasting that

134,000 people will die of Covid-19 in the US

Which nearly double its previous prediction

The model from the Institute for Health Metrics

And Evaluation at the University of Washington

Had predicted 72,433 deaths as of Monday

Morning, May 4, 2020

Christie, asked Monday, May 4, 2020 what his

Messaging would be to the American public if he

Sat in the Oval Office responded saying as follows

"The message is that the American people

Have gone through significant death before!!!"

Christie pointed to the first and second World

Wars as examples of how we’ve gone through it

And we’ve survived it; We sacrificed those lives

"We sent our young men during World War

II over to Europe, out to the Pacific, knowing

Knowing that many of them would not come

Home alive and we decided to make that sacrifice

Because what we were standing up

For was the American way of life

In the very same way now, we have to

Stand up for the American way of life!!!"

Former Governor Christie lamented the "economic

Devastation" as equally sad, and told Bash that

"While he wasn’t advocating for crowded public

Gatherings like rock concerts or football games

We have to let certain people get back to work

Because I can see my own state here!!!"

Christie encouraged vulnerable populations

To stay indoors, as they’re the ones who are gonna

Really swallow this burden badly, the elderly and

Those with respiratory diseases, depressed immune

Systems from cancer treatments or other things, saying

"Those folks are going to have to be even more

Careful than the rest of the population

I don’t know what the choice is!!!"

President Trump emphatically blamed China

For the coronavirus pandemic and again made
