      Yes that was the implication. That’s why I said infinitely more mathematically. Even one is infinitely more than zero. And for Trump it’s easily in the hundreds if not thousands

        If we’re talking just deaths, with his closure of USAID, reductions in health insurance, cuts to CDC, his covid response, etc. Trump has been the cause of millions of avoidable deaths.

        Lancet estimates that Trump’s USAID closure alone will kill ~5 million children under the age of five by 2030.

          To be fair, USAID is also partially responsible for killing millions. It’s a deliberate tool of soft-power that often gets funneled into the hands of pro-US dictators for military equipment, etc. The role of USAID is to make imperialism seem better.
