Here’s how Trump is driving millions of American seniors into poverty
Donald Trump’s inept handling of the coronavirus pandemic is
condemning millions of older Americans to get by on much smaller incomes and
forcing many into permanent poverty
These people can anticipate shorter lives with less robust health,
while taxpayers will bear the burden of care for many years of increased welfare benefits and subsidies.
The pandemic forced 2.9 million Americans ages 55 to 70 to leave the workforce in just March through June
By the end of September, 4 million older workers could be displaced permanently from the job market,
Those forced out of work are disproportionately minorities and women, highlighting the structural racism and misogyny in America’s labor and retirement systems.
America having by far the highest infection rate among wealthy nations.
In the December 2017 update of my biography The Making of Donald Trump, I predicted he would fail to act effectively in a pandemic.
Whenever the big crisis comes the one thing we know is that
Donald Trump lacks
the deep knowledge,
critical thinking skills,
emotional maturity and
ability to separate sound advice from nonsense that are needed in a crisis.”
