This isn't going to help you, Mr. President.

Donald Trump cannot handle even the slightest bit of criticism, but Dr. Rick Bright, the ousted director of a crucial federal office, is about to drop a truth bomb on the former reality show star’s administration over its handling of the pandemic. Trump assigns nicknames to anyone who dares to criticize him, but at this time, the nation is facing almost eighty-five thousand deaths, and more than thirty-six million Americans are out of work while trying to flatten the coronavirus curve.

Dr. Bright is set to testify before Congress on Thursday to say that the US will face “unprecedented illness and fatalities” without additional preparations to curb the coronavirus pandemic. “Our window of opportunity is closing,” Bright is expected to testify, according to his prepared remarks. “Without clear planning and implementation … 2020 will be (the) darkest winter in modern history.”

Trump, after praising a judge’s decision to reopen Wisconsin, took to Twitter to call Dr. Bright a “disgruntled employee,” among other things.

Bright filed a whistleblower complaint last week saying he was removed from his post in retaliation because he didn’t promote a drug that noted virologist Donald Trump claimed was a coronavirus treatment.

Dr. Bright was ousted as the head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority and is expected to tell Congress that the Department of Health and Human Services ignored multiple warnings that he issued in January, February, and March which warned of the serious potential for an impending shortage of medical supplies that were needed to combat the virus.

Trump also took a shot at Dr. Anthony Fauci, our country’s top infectious diseases expert, yesterday. Trump lacks the empathy and awareness necessary to keep our country safe. People are dying, and Trump is shitposting on Twitter with blood all over his hands.
