Really makes you wonder if Trump's lack of response to COVID was intentional.

He expected it to decimate cities which are Democrats. But it ended up killing rural Republicans because they wouldn't wear masks or stay home.

He also thinks Blue states are going to wither away with a lack of disaster aid, but has overlooked the fact that the majority of Federal funding comes from those same states. He's making enemies of every friendly nation and cutting trade agreements while trying to make Americans too sick and hungry to fight back. Does he think his billionaire buddies are going to fund him when the Blue states turn against him and nobody else in the world wants to buy US products any more?
