It was almost a confession of guilt. Almost.

The word 'unnecessary' is such a tell.

Every once in a while, the liar-in-chief manages to reflect clearly on his own culpability, seemingly without the ability to realize that he is culpable.

Monday, April 27, the day on which we learned that more than 55,000 Americans have now died of the novel coronavirus, was one such day.

Impeached president Donald John Trump:

"There has been so much unnecessary death in this country. It could have been stopped and it could have been stopped short, but somebody a long time ago, it seems, decided not to do it that way. And the whole world is suffering because of it."

Still blaming Obama, aren't you.

There is no bottom to his depravity and fecklessness. No number of dead Americans will be enough for Donald Trump.
