Imagine if 250,000 people had died in a war over the past 7 months & there were predictions another 200,000 would die in the next four months. And the Commander-in-Chief had abandoned his post, just walked away. (After greatly contributing to the losses we'd already incurred.)

Hard to fathom, right? In part that's because we have never lost that many people in a war. (We've already lost more people than the 218K total combat deaths in the Civil War, we'll pass the 291K lost in four years of World War II in a month or two.)

In part, it's hard to fathom because we have never had a leader so craven, so incompetent, so uncaring about the America people, so irresponsible in his dereliction of duty, as Donald Trump.

Note: If we hit the U. of Wash. projection of 511K dead by Feb 28, that will amount to more than 1300 people dead every day or, roughly, more than one 9/11 every 3 days...for a year. Remember the sharp stabbing pain of 9/11? And the president wants us to imagine this is nothing.
