Not only did Trump fail to learn any lessons from covid, but his public health policies have somehow gotten far more dangerous and destructive in Trump 2.0. God forbid he and RFK Jr have to handle a global pandemic. We'll be pining for the days of Dr. Birx.

He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.

How does it feel to see a white man being given the Michael Brown treatment? I hope it feels terrible and I hope white people understand now that whiteness will not protect them from a fundamentally evil, malevolent person who is rotten to the core.
