Trump’s Legacy of Tremendous Harm

The death of the man who attacked an FBI office in Cincinnati reminds us that, by the time Trump is removed from our lives, and his active influence finally dissipates into virtually nothing, the amount of damage he will have done will be incalculable.  You’d have to measure him against Joseph Stalin to find a more evil influence.

Consider:

• The hundreds of thousands who died of COVID and those living with permanent health issues, who could have been saved by an honest response to the disease

• The few hundreds who are incarcerated for their roles in the insurrection

• The tens of millions of Americans who no longer believe in the integrity of our elections

• The thousands of parents who are separated, many permanently, from their young children at the southern border

• The millions of QAnoners who got their introduction into the Cult of Stupidity from a pathological liar and criminal conman

• The tens of millions of American kids who will receive substandard educations from a system that was deliberated devastated

• The thousands of schoolchildren killed by lunatics with assault weapons, and their bereft families

• The millions of people with health conditions related to the relaxation of environmental standards, and all those people around the globe who will live on a planet whose temperature is rising uncontrollably

It’s a horrible legacy, among the very worst in world history.
