1. At the very least Infection by Ignoramus.

2. I'm not a lawyer, but Wiki defines negligent homicide as...

Negligent homicide is a criminal charge brought against a person who, through criminal negligence, allows another person to die

3. Technically, he is guilty of...

Technically, he is guilty of 2nd-Degree Murder.

"When you're the President, they let you do it!" Trump replied.

4. Well . . . both of those require a dead body first.

At least as to his behavior this week, there are no dead bodies yet.

Given what I've heard about staffers being bullied into not wearing masks - if any of them have died that might make a good case (unless they've passed a law protecting employers by now). But I doubt it would stick for the country as a whole.

5. I agree with you, but I was more thinking along the lines of

probably something more general, that the more I think about it, would not stand a chance of holding up in court because of the lack of a provable direct relationship, and that is:

His encouragement of foregoing masks, going out, going back to work, general high risk behavior, etc.

6. Correct.

It would be near impossible to prove causation - especially on a criminal level.

7. The only remaining question is if he will follow the murders up with suicide

[LuckyCharms]

8. I've actually thought about that scenario, and it's not impossible.

[MLAA]

10. I think if he dies of Covid it is suicide since he willfully ignored all prevention

[Hekate]

9. I think Carl Bernstein just did

11. Yep, just saw the OP, thank you...but as

Ms. Toad and I exchanged, for that charge to stick, I believe Ms. Toad is correct in saying that it would take an actual death with a deceased body that could be directly linked to trump's actions. It is not to that point as of yet, but it might get there.
