I understand Trump’s consciousness. Not news to anyone. But what about the people around him? Has no one been begging, demanding that he use his power over the last few weeks? Is their obsession with not disturbing private industry so great that they’re willing to let people die?

I keep wondering the same thing...
We should all do what we do best. Miracles will help more than the government seizing all the power it can right now. You're praying for the wrong thing.

Playing God and deciding who will live and who will die like they have for generations re: acceptable deaths from industrial and agricultural toxins allowed in our air, water and food - No more "acceptable" number of deaths for the sake of an archaic heartless economic model.

In order for the people of this planet to survive and thrive, we need a better leadership model than acquiescing to the whims of demagogues.
