Twin Pandemics (COVID-19 and Racism) and Safe Spaces

As an addition (28 September 2020) to the above comments re: the twin pandemics and growing authoritarianism in the USA where extrajudicial executions are carried out because of the color of one's skin in violation of every civilized norm and human rights convention: Trump's actions make sense after The New York Times reported among other things that he $300 million in debt, among other things, to banks, individuals and entities in Russia (explains his distaste for NATO and decision to remove U.S. troops from Germany), Saudi Arabia (explains his protection of the crown prince who ordered Kashoggi's murder) and Turkey (explains his abrupt and ill-advised withdrawal from Kurdish areas in Syria leaving them susceptible to Erdoğan's genocidal ambitions that were fortunately halted due to widespread international protests). His "audit" is also more akin to a standoff with the IRS to whom he owes up to $100 million in back taxes. Furthermore, based on The New York Times report, he likely committed tax fraud. No wonder he resists the notion of a "peaceful" transition of power and may not accept the results of the election if he loses. If out of the presidency, he and family members who may also have engaged in tax fraud could face criminal indictments and prosecution.

In all fairness, President Trump calls these reports, "Fake News." He also complains The New York Times obtained his tax records illegally. It can only be one or the other. If it is the former, let Trump produce real evidence such as a cancelled check or bank statement that refutes The New York Times' story. If it's the latter, well then the reports are true and our "billionarie" president paid less taxes than people earning $20,000 a year. Also he may be in a compromised position and have already acted against the interests of the USA in which case the unprecedented modification of his national security clearance would be in order. :(
