There are good people in the world, bad people, selfish people, sociopathic people, immoral people. Trump is a combination of all the worst characteristics. Yes, he's probably the product of a cruel family and yes the American political system is so broken that it resulted in him being a candidate in the first place. But, irrespective, he's there now and the effect of his presence is an existential crisis to a major world democracy, historical ally of western Europe and nuclear power. It would be fanciful, at this point, to put faith in a clearly compromised electoral system, decentralised and clientilist, to get him out. And so, it is better for everyone, including his own tortured family, that he be dead. Better that Mike Pence fight the election as a straightforward ultra Conservative Republican and let that be the contest. Or, now that I think of it, Trump could be fine and this could be step one in the ruse to delay the election, perhaps indefinitely. I wouldn't put it past him and his people.

Why are the American people listening to these whingers trying to destroy our economy and shut our liberties down? Covid isn't a problem, I am living proof of that, vote for me.

DeadHand wrote: » One of the manifold hypocrisies we see from many of those who profess to be progressive, here and elsewhere, is the malicious glee with which they react when their perceived political enemies suffer serious illnesses or other personal maladies. Hypocritical because many of the same people claim to be informed in their political outlook by tolerance and compassion. Indeed, they will excoriate the “other side” for, in their own narrow view, lacking these virtues. We saw a similar proud outpouring of spite from the same quarters when Boris Johnson took ill. Some who have contributed to this thread would benefit from honest introspection and, perhaps, to put political comment aside until they have their own emotional house in order.

What you say certainly is plausible and definitely something he would do. The trump supporters will just ignore the 200k deaths and convince themselves it's no worse than a runny nose.
