Donald Trump gave himself a perfect 10 for his coronavirus response

Donald Trump has been accused of genocide by netizens.

The president of the United States is leading Americans’ battle against coronavirus. However, many felt that Trump is failing them, with several even accusing him of letting his people die.

Just recently, Trump downplayed the need for more ventilators in hospitals. He said, he didn’t believe thousands of ventilators are needed to fight COVID-19.

“I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. You go into major hospitals sometimes, and they’ll have two ventilators. And now all of a sudden they’re saying, ‘Can we order 30,000 ventilators?’” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity (via The Guardian).

However, his statement did not sit well with the public, especially since the death tolls in the country has continued to rise.

“Donald Trump is a traitor,” author and political commentator Jared Yates Sexton wrote.

He explained that genocide doesn’t require violence, guns or mass killing. “Simply holding back necessary supplies and aid for political purposes constitutes genocide and has led to some of the most tragic moments in human history,” he added.

He concluded that what Trump is doing is “quiet genocide” and it’s a “slow-moving genocide.” Several Twitter users observed the same and slammed the POTUS on social media.

GENOCIDE.

What Donald Trump is telling you is that he is more than ready to sentence Blue State Americans to die of violent asphyxiation in overcrowded hospitals, alone and removed from their families.

He's talking about genocide.https://t.co/JC4nagCOVu

It is Donald Trump’s job to protect every American in every state. It doesn’t matter if that American voted for him or if the governor is sycophantic and effusively grateful.

If Trump lets people die for political purposes, and that is the case, it’s genocide.

Another added that Trump failed the American people for weeks and months. The netizen added that Americans die unnecessarily due to the POTUS’ negligence and incompetence.

You can invoke the DPA today. You have failed the American people for weeks and months. Americans will die unnecessarily because of your negligence and incompetence.

Dear @realDonaldTrump: It’s possible we have enough ventilators. Or not. For every ventilator we are short, a patient dies.

You downplayed risk of #COVID19 & now US has most cases in the world. Don’t downplay risks again & repeat the same mistake. Use the Defense Production Act. https://t.co/nIVPDJOzyz

It is shocking, insulting and sickening to hear @realDonaldTrump say he just "hasn't had to" use the Defense Production Act.

People will die because he has refused to use the power of his office to produce ventilators and other necessary equipment.#TrumpPressConf

Trump was once asked to rate his response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the president gave himself a perfect 10. Many reacted, with some saying that they would give him negative 10. Meanwhile, others wondered why the over-confident POTUS didn’t give himself 11, they concluded that maybe he knew he didn’t perform well about the issue.
