Disgusting

Last Thursday, the Denver Post published an editorial (link here) about Donald Trump's whole new level of corruption — he's handing out lifesaving ventilators as political favors.

The editorial begins powerfully: "Trump is treating life-saving medical equipment as emoluments he can dole out as favors to loyalists. It’s the worst imaginable form of corruption — playing political games with lives. For the good of this nation during what should be a time of unity, he must stop."

The piece then goes on to detail how when Colorado's Democratic governor begged for ventilators, he got nothing. When the state's Republican Senator asked the Trump administration, he got ventilators.

If a state doesn't have a GOP governor or any GOP Senators, they may be shit out of luck.

Ventilators are critically necessary. If a patient needs one and can't get one, there's a good chance he or she will die.

Hence, people will die because Trump is playing politics.

This is criminal. What a horrible, horrible man. Hopefully when things calm down somewhat, prosecutors can dig deeper into this and file charges as soon as he leaves office.

This is yet another example of why Trump must not be reelected.
