[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Because he's an asshole. That's what they do.

1. Because...

Because he was born.

2. Because Putin wants him to and put him in place to do it?

4. It's what he's always done -- he thinks there are no consequences

The fat piece of shit has never been held accountable for anything in his wretched, miserable fart bubble life

5. It's called social murder

When ruling elites purposely enact policies that they know will harm or kill large swathes of their own populations.

...excess death as a result of bad public policy.[2]

This term needs to be better-known and understood. It is inconceivable to modern nations that their own government would purposely destroy large numbers of people. The masses need to understand that Trump, Musk and the collaborators are committing social murder against the American people. Need to name it before we can figure out how to stop it.

Historic examples
- Britain passed laws that they knew would worsen starvation in Ireland during the Potato Famine.

- Genocides of Native Americans

- Stalin 's Holomodor in Ukraine when they took all of the food from Europe's breadbasket and left the producers to starve enmasse

- Trump's failure to address Covid

- Dismantling of public health, vaccines, research

- Climate destruction
