QOTD: Deadly Virus Will Help U.S.



There are so many examples of the rotted-out core of the Trumpist Party. Vicious treatment of families at the southern border, cuts to the social safety net, the effort underway to make demagogue and fraudster Donald "Impeached Forever" Trump a virtual dictator through his impeachment trial, etc.

Then there's this from Trump's ghoulish and soulless Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross speaking on the Fux Bidness channel:
"Every American’s heart goes out to the victims of the coronavirus, so I don’t want to talk about a victory lap over a very unfortunate and very malignant disease, but the fact is it does give businesses yet another thing to consider when they go through their review of their supply chain on top of all the other things. [snip] I think it will help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America, some to U.S...."
Ross is one of the most demonstrably corrupt members of Trump's corrupt regime, with holdings in shady foreign banks, links to Russian oligarchs and more.  The fact that he's counting the growing number of dead human beings to calculate some sort of "benefit" to the U.S. is thoroughly sick, but totally fitting for a loyal Trumpist.
