Art Of The Deal’ Co-Author Spells Out Why Coronavirus Deaths ‘Don’t Matter’ To Trump “The deaths, I know this is extreme, the deaths don’t matter to him,” Tony Schwartz told MSNBC’s Ari Melber.

Tony Schwartz who ghost wrote "The Art of the Deal" and knows Trump well says the answer is Trump does not care about those he condemns to death, has no conscience and cares only about winning. It is why Corona deaths ticking upward around the country and will do more so as people are prodded in a frenzy by Trump go back to work.  Many will not adhere to CDC guidelines by wearing a mask, keeping distance mandates, washing hands and many other requirements for staying safe in a pandemic.  Those deaths in nursing homes and otherwise do not matter to him. The stock market and the economy matter to Trump more even though if the deaths from Corona increase the economy will sink. One is inversely proportional to the other.  If it comes to saving himself or saving others there is no doubt that he will save himself. What a sickening choice for a president who lords over life and death matters and whose policies dictate it. The entirety of Trump makes sense when you think of it like that. The nation and all of us are doomed if we keep him in office.

This explains to me why I loathe this unconscionable man so much.  I am the opposite of him.  It explains my politics as well.  I care about what happens to people especially for those who were not born lucky.  It is one thing to want to survive as most people want that but it is quite another thing if you are in a position of power and the decisions you make spell life or death to others. 

It is why the humanitarian aspects of Christianity appeal to me.  Matthew 25:40 "Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.’" Too bad Trump who calls himself a Christian does not know the first thing about it, never asks for forgiveness and cannot answer any questions about the faith or any other faith for that matter.  He is ignorant.  He knows only how to use religion to solidify his power.  Many in his base swallow it and succumb to the con.  If he needed to believe in the tooth fairy to gain power he would.  Nothing matters to Trump except Trump.
