I recently found this article from Daily Kos, and somehow, it put everything about Trump’s shitty response to the pandemic, from urging states to reopen while cases were still climbing, to asking to scale down testing, to this self-admitted germophobe’s (someone who, last year, asked someone who coughed during a press conference to leave the room) refusal to wear a mask during a pandemic:
It also references this 2013 tweet about the recession to strengthen the case that Crises are just a Social Darwinist game to him.
And because Trump, in his own mind, thinks positively, he’s confident enough to not bother with a mask. And the 120,000 people who died because of his shitty response to the pandemic? If he’s willing to write off someone who died in an ambulance crash as a loser, what do you think he thinks of the faceless masses who died because he made the pandemic worse?

Quote: In How to Get Rich, Trump links his own germaphobia to the idea that some people are born losers. Winners are people who think positively—and positivity repels germs. “To me, germs are just another kind of negativity.” He then goes on to tell the story of an unnamed acquaintance who is driven home from the hospital in an ambulance after being treated for injuries sustained in a crash. The ambulance crashes and he has to be taken back to the hospital: “Maybe he’s just a really unlucky guy. Or maybe he’s a loser. I know that sounds harsh, but let’s face it—some people are losers.” The train of thought here is typically meandering, but the logic is clear enough. Losers are inevitably doomed by their own negativity, of which germs are a physical form. Infection happens to some people because they are natural losers.
