Dear Mr. Trump,

How unfortunate that you do not value the lives of the people who support you! If you actually valued their lives, you wouldn’t be holding a campaign rally in a crowded indoor auditorium this Saturday. If you cared about their lives, you wouldn’t be encouraging people not to wear face masks.

Obviously, you don’t care. As I have often pointed out, you don’t have a shred of human empathy in your makeup.

You know that people will die because of attending this rally in Tulsa. That’s why you won’t let anyone in unless they sign an “assumption of risk” form purportedly absolving you of liability for your campaign’s gross negligence and reckless conduct.

When people die, however, they will still sue your campaign and still get their cases in front of a jury. One doesn’t need to have legal training – as I do – to be able to read the applicable Oklahoma statute:

The defense of contributory negligence or of assumption of risk shall, in all cases whatsoever, be a question of fact, and shall at all times be left to the jury, unless a jury is waived by the parties. 2014 Oklahoma Statutes § 23-12.

What excuses will you give these juries, who will see thousands of their fellow Oklahomans having become ill and died as a result of your selfish behavior?

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
