Daily Kos: Faced with losing the senior vote, Trump pivots to killing them
By DARTAGNAN
Who could have predicted that the most reliable bloc of voters in this country would also be the most likely to die from COVID-19? Not Donald Trump, apparently. The New York Times reports that “the coronavirus and the Trump administration’s response to it have cost President Trump support from one of his most crucial constituencies: America’s seniors.”
As anyone with two functional brain cells to rub together ought to have figured out, the quality of the administration’s response (or lack thereof) to what is becoming the worst public health crisis in American history matters most of all to the group of people whose heads are on the chopping block if it fails. The nation’s oldest citizens are now rendering their verdict on Trump’s miserable performance, and the news for the former reality TV star is not good.
