Dear Murderer-in-the-White House,

What else would one call a person who disregards his own government’s safety advice and urges people to ignore social distancing? What else would you call a person who would rather have dead people pile up in the street than be honest about the deadliness of this disease?

You’ve essentially never cared about truth or science; your mission now is to continue to divide our country, making science and government the enemy and encouraging people to become vectors of a deadly disease.

It doesn’t bother you in the least that over 100,000 Americans will die when you assured everyone that 15 cases would be the max and that the virus would miraculously disappear. Or even 200,000. Those numbers are meaningless to you, unless it would happen that more Democrats than Republicans will die. Then you will crave the highest death rate possible.

When you pretend and say that even one death is horrible, we know you don’t mean it and have no understanding of what it means to lose a loved one. Your voice is pathetically devoid of empathy.

So murderer is, I feel, an appropriate name for you. Sadly, many and perhaps most of your victims will be those who still unbelievably trust you.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
