Donald Trump's Death Toll
Donald Trump kills. He kills government, he kills the rule of law, he kills checks and balances, he kills the Constitution, he kills science, common sense, common decency, morality, compassion, community, order, responsibility, accountability, seriousness, decorum, politesse, and just about every other value and institution and tradition on which he can get his dirty grifter’s hands. Above all, he has killed America, just as surely as if he had stuck a knife in her heart, which, in a very real sense, he has. But he is not only a metaphoric killer, which is something we have long granted him. Though one would think that a president’s primary obligation is to protect his constituents, Donald Trump devises plans and policies that have the inescapable consequence of meting out death, both here and abroad. He is the chief conspirator, the capo dei capi, sitting atop a network of murderous confederates - the one who sets the tone and gives the orders for others to execute, which is to say that, even if he doesn’t wield the knife or fire the gun or dispense the poison or starve the victim himself, he has been responsible for the deaths of countless people and will be responsible for the deaths of countless more as the horrors of his policies accrue.
This is not partisan hyperbole, however much one might want to dismiss it as such, however much I would want to dismiss it as such. It is not something you hear in political debate, even the most heated political debate, because calling a president a murderer seems to exceed the bounds of civility, even in the Trump era when civility is nearly non-existent. These are accusations you would make about Hitler or Stalin or Mao or Putin, not an American president, but then we have never had a president like this one. And it is not something you will read in the legacy press, though you should, if Trump hadn’t killed the press too, or at least the last remnants of its honesty and courage. During Trump’s first term, the Washington Post kept a running tally of Trump’s lies – a task for which they have apparently run out of patience in the second term as the figures mounted into the tens of thousands, virtually every time he opened his mouth. But neither the Post nor any other publication or broadcast of which I am aware has kept or is keeping a tally of the actual deaths he has caused – of the way in which his policies and tactics, sometimes carelessly, sometimes gratuitously, but also sometimes intentionally, I believe, have resulted in fatalities – unconscionable fatalities. (An associate professor of history named Al Carroll at Northern Virginia Community College did measure presidential body counts and placed Trump third behind Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, largely on the basis of the covid death figures, a significant portion of which was attributable to Trump’s derelictions.)
One should emphasize that this isn’t just a matter of his being wrong-headed or misguided or incompetent or ignorant or negligent – all of which he is. Those deaths wouldn’t qualify as killings in the legal sense that requires a mens rea, or an intent to kill. But Trump’s policies are so obviously hurtful, in many cases so obviously deadly, that he cannot be given the benefit of the doubt. These deaths aren’t collateral damage. They are the damage. As the Atlantic’s Adam Sewer put it in his book of that title, “the cruelty is the point.” Donald Trump luxuriates in cruelty. Donald Trump takes great pride in his cruelty. And when that cruelty tips into death, Donald Trump kills.
*
Part of the problem in arraigning Donald Trump for murder, however, is the issue of where to begin. . .and where to end. Brace yourself for a plethora of numbers here while I hope you remember that each of these numbers represents a life – a flesh and blood human being whose existence is seemingly irrelevant to the Trump administration. Nor should I need remind you that these numbers could be, perhaps are, your child, your husband or wife, your father or mother, your friends. The prestigious medical journal Lancet conducted a survey of Trump’s health policies during his first term and concluded that on covid alone, if the United States had had death rates equivalent to those of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and England – which we didn’t have, in no small measure, because of Trump’s fumbling or willful disregard - 461,000 fewer Americans would have died, but then these were mostly the elderly, so there was little alarm.
But covid was only part of the story. Dr. Steffie Woodhandler of the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College, one of the co-authors of the report, said, “Americans’ health was deteriorating even as our economy was booming.” Life expectancy in the last year of Trump’s first term fell by 1.13 years – the largest decrease since World War II. The number of uninsured Americans in that term rose by 2.3 million, due largely to Trump’s attacks on the Affordable Care Act, which, Lancet reported, led to at least 3,999 and possibly 25,180 deaths in his first three years – this before covid and after six years of decreases in the uninsured during the Obama administration.
And then there was Trump’s assault on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly food stamps. A study by Health Affairs found that participants in SNAP were one to two percentage points less likely to die than those who did not enroll, and that participation cut the mortality rate in half for individuals between the ages of 40 and 60. Moreover, in 2022 alone, 22,000 additional Americans died from environmental and occupational hazards, to a significant degree because Trump, during his term, had eviscerated regulatory agencies. Another study, this one conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency at the time Obama introduced the Clean Power Rule to protect us from air pollution caused by dirty power plants – a rule which Trump repealed - determined that doing so would result in 36,000 more deaths in the next decade and 630,000 more cases of respiratory infection in children. Note how even children’s lives were not protected from the administration’s hatchet.
These deaths weren’t accidents. These weren’t even the result of negligence. These were the outcomes of deliberate efforts to destroy programs and departments that protected Americans – from death. And we know that in many cases, the outcomes were anticipated. In any other context, it would be murder. But none dare call it murder.
That was just Trump 1.0, already a calamity. But Trump 2.0 promised worse – much, much worse: government murder on a nearly unprecedented scale, primarily because Trump’s obsession with extending his tax cuts, the overwhelming benefits of which, as we all know, go to the very richest Americans, must be offset with cuts in social programs: $1.5 trillion in cuts in the budget the Republican House recently passed.
What will the toll be? We don’t really know, because if there is the problem of where to begin and end in assessing the casualties, there is also another problem, and it is telling: the heretofore meticulous data collection by various government agencies has been effectively and intentionally destroyed by Trump, presumably to keep the evidence of his deadly activities from public view, so we have to rely largely on privately-collected data and on estimates. The body count will be obscured by the lack of tabulation. But, rest assured, it will be considerable.
*
How considerable? Start with the agencies toppled by the Musk/DOGE wrecking ball that were expressly charged with helping Americans and saving lives. An AFL-CIO report found that an estimated 140,587 workers died on the job in 2023. And that was when the rules of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA, a Nixon-era program) were in effect. Trump has promised to eliminate many of those guidelines, to close down eleven OSHA offices “in states with the highest workplace fatality rates,” according to the AFL-CIO, shutter 34 offices of the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and stop the enforcement of a new Biden-introduced rule on silica exposure – i.e., exposure to particulate matter among miners – and end investigations into hazards of that exposure. OSHA is credited with saving 712,000 lives since its inception, and the Department of Labor has calculated that the new silica rule would save 1,100 lives and result in 3,750 fewer illnesses. As the Atlantic put it: “DOGE is Bringing Back a Deadly Disease.”
Meanwhile, the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency, a former congressman and Trump stooge named Lee Zeldin, is scrapping most rules meant to protect Americans from polluted air and water, especially those regulating greenhouse gases, because, as Zeldin put it, he would not cave to the “climate change religion.” Last year, when Joe Biden’s EPA instituted National Ambient Air Quality standards, it estimated they would prevent 4,500 premature deaths. As Dr. Alison Lee, a pulmonologist who chairs the American Thoracic Society’s committee on environmental health policy, put it, “Rolling back the PM NAAQs means more asthma attacks, more heart attacks, more strokes and more deaths.” She might have added greater infant mortality, since infants are particularly susceptible to particulate matter in the air. Another Biden proposal, revising Mercury and Toxic Air Standards, was also reversed. Even before the revision the EPA determined that MATS had prevented 11,000 premature deaths, 4,700 heart attacks and 130,000 asthma attacks every year of its enforcement. No more.
In my own state of Maine, the EPA had financed research grants into perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoralkyl substances, PFAS, or so-called “forever chemicals” that had leeched into soil and water from sewage-based fertilizers, rendering farms unusable, and into food, threatening individuals who had been exposed to these chemicals with a bundle of conditions including decreased fertility, developmental delays in children, compromised immunity, and increased risk of cancer. Even Zeldin had told Congress that the grants would continue. . .until they didn’t. The grants were canceled, the federally-subsidized research terminated, on the basis, EPA spokesperson Mike Bastach said, that the Biden administration had, imposed “their radical agenda of wasteful DEI programs and `environmental justice’ preferencing on the EPA.” If that makes no sense to you, you are not alone, unless it means that there were too many Blacks and women involved in the research. The relevance here is that a peer-reviewed study has shown PFAS contribute to increased mortality, and a 2023 EPA study estimated PFAS mortality at 7,357 deaths from bladder and kidney cancer, and cardiovascular disease.
Even veterans were not spared the Trump death tumbrel. Though Trump loves to give lip service to how much he reveres our veterans, despite his having called them “suckers’ and “losers,” Trump’s Veterans’ Affairs secretary, Doug Collins, vowed to lay off 83,000 employees, including medical staff (this despite the fact that vets’ health appointments had risen 7% in FY2024), cancel contracts with vendors supplying what The American Prospect called “critical resources,” and cancel clinical trials, the effects of which could certainly lead to higher mortality rates. And Collins denounced, of all things, the budget for the Veterans’ Crisis Line – its suicide hot line, even though veterans are susceptible to depression and suicide. Trump has also defunded the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ+ support, despite 1.2 million crisis contacts and, despite, according to the Trevor Project, an organization committed to at-risk members of the LGBTQ+ communities, 1.8 million gay, bi, and transgender young people considering suicide. But no one expected MAGA to care about the lives of the gay, bi, and transgender communities when cutting appropriations for them might help Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos buy themselves a new yacht.
*
And so the toll continues to rise. Drastic cuts in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, whose research in climate change and whose modeling on which everyone from business to the military to the Federal Aviation Administration relies, and which is critical for weather prediction and preparedness, will, according to one NOAA administrator, send the science back into the 1950s. Another atmospheric scientist told Pro Publica, “We’re going to see huge impacts on infrastructure and lives lost in the U.S.” Lives lost. How many we won’t be able to determine because, once again, the Trump administration is also terminating the NOAA database that tracks damage and deaths. Why gut NOAA? Because NOAA doesn’t accommodate the Trump administration’s belief that climate change is a hoax.
And while the administration is quashing the means for preparing for weather disasters, it is simultaneously phasing out the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which provides relief for communities hit by disasters. Samantha Montano, a professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, said that if the cuts continue, “we will be seeing higher death tolls and more devastation, absolutely,” citing Hurricane Helene as dodging a “death toll into the thousands” thanks to NOAA forecasting and FEMA mobilizing. Instead, as reported in The Guardian, Trump has already denied assistance to tornado victims in Arkansas, flooding victims in West Virginia, windstorm victims in Washington state, and extended relief to victims of Helene in North Carolina where Trumpistas last year falsely accused the Biden administration of diverting FEMA money to immigrants.
Women will pay a particularly dear price in the Trump death march. “Much of the federal infrastructure that support domestic violence programs is damaged or gone,” Rachel Louise Snyder, an Opinion columnist and Stanford University law professor, wrote recently in the New York Times. Focusing on my home state of Maine, Snyder detailed how Trump is starving the system that protects abused women there – the shelters, the legal advocates, the hotlines and support groups and counseling, the specialized police units – so that women are now exposed to violence. As Trump hollows out assistance, there is only one conclusion: “People are going to die,” as Monique Minkens, executive director of End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin, a coalition of advocacy organizations, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. And this dereliction doesn’t factor in Trump’s decision to defund Planned Parenthood, which provides many services to women besides abortion – again, life-saving services. A 2020 study found that Planned Parenthood clinic closures “negatively impacted all women, increasing mortality by 6%–15% across racial/ethnic groups.” This was before the Dobbs decision. Since then, thanks to Trump’s first-term Supreme Court justices, a study by Pro Publica determined that in states with abortion bans “pregnant women have bled to death, succumbed to fatal infections and wound up in morgues with what medical examiners recorded were `products of conception’ still in their bodies.”
And so the toll rises.
*
Once again SNAP is squarely in Trump’s and his Republican conspirators’ crosshairs. The centrality of SNAP to Americans’ health and well-being is indisputable. SNAP has 43 million enrollees - significantly, one in five children in America. Forty percent of participants are younger than 18 and 12% are younger than five, and nearly half of children have relied on SNAP at some point in their youth. Just to make this crystal clear, these are Trump’s targets: America’s young undernourished. And I repeat: they won’t eat so that rich people get tax breaks.
The Trump budget proposal would not only cut $300 billion from the program, reducing stipends by the equivalent of one full week per month; it would impose stiffer conditions for receiving SNAP benefits, specifically work rules requiring recipients to be employed and to fill out forms attesting to it. This is another clever Trump/Republican ruse – floating the lie, the one Reagan had used on alleged “welfare queens,” that SNAP recipients are scammers and slackers who, as Speaker Mike Johnson sniped, are “playing video games all day.” “It’s easy to say, `Just get a job,’” Rebecca Hooker, the executive director of Christian Help, an emergency food program in Kermit, West Virginia, told Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, Jr., “but what do you do when there are no jobs or people don’t want to hire you?” Recipients are already required to work if they are young and able-bodied. Between the cuts and the work rules that are intended to throw even qualifying individuals off the rolls because they cannot fill out the forms, the Urban Institute has estimated that 5.4 million Americans would lose their food benefits under the Trump plan. many of them disabled and homeless. Another study, by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, puts the number of those at risk of losing SNAP due to work requirements at 11 million, including more than 4 million children.
One wouldn’t feel quite adequate in estimating deaths if one didn’t include Trump’s treatment of immigrants. We cannot know the death rate among the immigrants he has rounded up or detained or deported, though the New Yorker titled a story last March, “How Many Immigrants Will Die in U.S. Custody?” which gave an indication that their safety was compromised. The problem is that, yet again, Homeland Security isn’t required to report immigrant deaths. Another problem is that Customs and Border Protection has on at least several occasions paroled seriously ill immigrants before they succumb, with no other apparent purpose than to reduce CBPs own responsibility for the death. Other immigrants, while ill, been dumped over the border in Mexico. The article did report the deaths of at least two immigrants in custody, and over the most recent years for which there is data, 2017-2021, Trump’s first term, 52 died overall. Needless to say, the number is very likely to increase during Trump’s second term.
*
Those are largely the direct effects of Trump’s policies. But there are the downstream effects, long-term effects, which will probably increase the death toll dramatically and permanently. According to the New York Times, “Trump has cut science funding to its lowest level in decades.” He has terminated more than 1,600 grants for existing research projects, and intends to halve the budget of the National Science Foundation next year. This is clearly a political decision; Trump and the MAGGots distrust science, believing it to be some sort of liberal conspiracy. (Yes, of course this is idiocy – a refutation, as I wrote in an earlier essay, of the entire Enlightenment.) But that also means abjuring the benefits of scientific research, and those benefits, to put it mildly, have been life-saving. Another Times article listed selected research at Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health: everything from the cancer risk of eating red meat to links between environmental exposures and dementia to the parasites that cause malaria to tuberculosis prevention to the causes of Multiple Sclerosis to the increased levels of ALS among veterans. Now those studies are either imperiled or canceled. As a former dean of Harvard Medical School put it, whatever the consequences for the researchers themselves – and those consequences will be in some cases career-ending – “the effect on the care of patients could be dire.” Meanwhile, six directors at NIH have been forced out, costing the nation years and years of invaluable experience. Once again: the billionaires get huge tax breaks. You get cancer. As I said: Trump kills.
And still the death toll mounts. Without notice, Trump has canceled $12 billion in grants to states that, as the Times described them, were used “for tracking infectious diseases, mental health services, addiction treatment, and other urgent health issues.” One of these cancellations stopped work on controlling the measles outbreak in Lubbock, Texas. Others, according to the Times, were for vaccines to protect children, surveillance of respiratory viruses, investigation of chronic diseases, and preparedness for health emergencies. One health official told the Times, “In so many cases, these are lifesaving programs and services, and we worry for the well-being of those who have come to count on their support.” But Trump, the capo dei capi, doesn’t worry. Into Musk’s wood-chipper they go.
*
The biggest immediate domestic toll, however, is almost certainly to come with Trump’s and the Republicans’ war on Medicaid, the Lyndon Johnson-era program designed to provide health services for the poorest Americans. Destroying Medicaid has been a long-term goal of Republicans – the very peak of their cruelty. Since Republicans have committed themselves to extending Trump’s huge tax cuts for the wealthy, and because they have also committed themselves to pay for the cuts with massive reductions in social services, and because Medicaid accounts for over ninety percent of non-Medicare funding, Medicaid is facing $880 billion in budget losses in the House-passed budget. The new Senate bill is even more draconian.
This isn’t an easy lift, even for the cruelest of public officials. Seventy-two million Americans depend on Medicaid for their healthcare. Fifty percent of Americans have been on Medicaid at some point. Republicans know that Medicaid cuts are unpopular, even among many MAGGots. Moreover, they know that many of their constituents in the poorest Red states rely on Medicaid. So they have to deploy more of their trickery – once again, insisting on work requirements to qualify, and stripping away subsidies that the Affordable Care Act had required, both of which will result in forcing people off Medicaid rolls and badly disabling the ACA generally. That, after all, is the whole point – not just cutting funds but punishing the people who need those funds, even, to be brutally honest, killing them. One problem, a big problem, is that 92% of Medicaid enrollees under 65 are already working, and that compelling them to fill out forms has resulted in what the liberal Center for American Progress says are “significant coverage losses.” (It is pure, mean-spirited hypocrisy that while Republicans moan about red tape for businesses, they want to impose additional red tape on the malnourished in SNAP and the sick in Medicaid.) The Congressional Budget Office has already estimated that under the Republican plans 13.7 million Americans will lose their coverage. An Urban Institute study puts the number at 15.9 million by 2034.
But Medicaid doesn’t only provide healthcare for those who could not otherwise afford it – a mortal sin among Republicans who believe that health care is not a right but a privilege. By providing that healthcare, it saves lives – a lot of lives. And this is where the death toll climbs once again. As one healthcare worker told Rolling Stone of the cuts, the legislation “is going to cut the medical lifeline off for millions of human beings, millions of people. Millions of lives will be lost.” She is right. According to the Center for American Progress, “Multiple studies have found that Medicaid expansion is associated with significant reductions in mortality.” The opposite is also true: Medicaid reduction will likely result in significant increases in mortality. CAP did the math. It determined that reductions in the federal subsidies to states, subsides that had been mandated by the ACA and without which many could not afford health care, would result in roughly 34,000 deaths a year. The work requirements would result in 15,400. Another report, conducted by Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, estimated that the Medicaid cuts would result in a death every eighteen minutes. And one should add this. Though Trump has promised not to touch Medicare, Politico reported Senate Majority Leader John Thune as saying that Trump would reduce Medicare so long as the reductions could be justified as “fraud, waste, and abuse.”
Donald Trump will justify it. Donald Trump kills.
*
Finally, there is the single biggest threat to lives in Donald Trump’s death crusade, though this has gotten little attention since it affects those overseas: the discontinuation of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), or what was once commonly known as “foreign aid,” nearly all of it going to destitute nations in Africa and Asia where malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis, and malnutrition are still prevalent. Testifying before Congress, Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted, “No children are dying on my watch,” and then included adults as well, “No one has died because of U.S.A.I.D.,” directly refuting a report by Times columnist Nicholas Kristof that the death toll was already unconscionable (300,000 when Kristof was writing on May 31), and rising at a rate of 103 hour. An “impact counter,” devised, again, by Brooke Nichols at Boston University, tallying the number of dead due to the USAID withdrawal of funds stands at 343,377, including 232,131 children at the time I am writing this. Kristof personalizes the numbers by telling of two children, eight-year-old Evan and eight-year-old Achol Deng, both in South Sudan, and both of whom had been kept alive through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PREFAR), inaugurated by George W. Bush, which had saved 26 million lives and which Trump has now abandoned. Denied lifesaving medications, Evan and Achol have died. As Bill Gates told the Financial Times, speaking of Trump henchman Elon Musk, “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.” (The State Department, apparently realizing how appalling the publicity was, claimed it would issue waivers to continue PREFAR, but the Times reported that the funds still weren’t paid.)
And there is, if possible, even a more tragic dimension to USAID termination than the deaths of millions of children because of Donald Trump’s whim. In ending USAID, Trump also ended clinical trials, leaving, as Stephanie Nolen put it in the Times, “people around the world with experimental drugs and medical products in their bodies, cut off from researchers who were monitoring them,” not to mention the abandonment of drugs, vaccines, and procedures that could have saved lives, or that fact that doing so violated ethical regulations. A new malaria vaccine was being tested for children. Now it isn’t, despite the fact that malaria kills 600,000 people a year. Another discontinued program that provided vaccines for children had saved 19 million lives in the past 25 years. It is estimated now that 1.2 million will die without those vaccines. And yet another crisis awaits in a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh where the United States had once provided food rations to the starving inhabitants. But not anymore. “People will suffer, and people will die,” UN secretary general Antonio Guterres said. And who would be responsible?
But here is the most chilling part of all – the most inhumane part. Even as they were making arrangements to end USAID, the Trump appointees doing so KNEW that the termination of USAID funding would cost countless lives of poor, sick, starving people. Your government KNEW. A report by Brett Murphy and Anna Maria Barry-Jester of Pro Publica cites internal memos from USAID showing a “cursory” and “haphazard” approach to the so-called review of waste and fraud, and indifference to death. “One of the documents said that sweeping cuts to foreign aid promise to reignite outbreaks of preventable, deadly illnesses; fuel instability in war-torn areas; and put the U.S. at risk for outbreaks of infectious disease.” The scale of anticipated disease and death was staggering: one million children left untreated for malnutrition; 160,000 children dying from malaria; a 30% increase in cases of tuberculosis; 200,000 more children paralyzed by polio over the next decade.
They KNEW. And they didn’t care. Rubio himself was to cancel many programs that the staff had called “lifesaving.”
Those are the numbers. And that is the callousness. The toll is already in the millions and growing daily. Donald Trump kills.
*
And there is finally another tragedy in addition to the deaths themselves, especially the deaths of children, which is already a heartbreaking tragedy - a great moral tragedy. The weight of the toll isn’t only on Donald Trump and his awful minions. To the extent that he was elected president even as, during his campaign, he proudly boasted of his intentions to deport immigrants, and defund the ACA, and destroy environmental regulations, and to undermine science, and to dismantle agencies that serve the public well-being – to that extent, and to the extent that he represents us and that he still has substantial support among us, the blood is on our hands, too, and should be on our conscience.
Donald Trump was no awful accident. Donald Trump was, as he himself said, a form of retribution, particularly by white America, particularly by conservative and racist America, particularly by angry, self-pitying, backward-facing America. This is what all too much of America is now. We have had mens rea. We have had the intention to punish the poor, sick, and vulnerable. And we have done so with remarkably little regret.
There are no headlines about the deaths for which our government is responsible, no chants, as there were during the Vietnam War, for how many kids our president killed today. There are few tears for the hundreds of thousands already dead overseas because of USAID withdrawals – few for Evan and Achol. There are few hollers about how many will die because of the end of medical research in America, and even the termination of cancer research, which may have saved the lives of our own family members. There are few lamentations for the poor people who will die here because they will no longer have health insurance or because they have been poisoned by the air or don’t have enough to eat or have been subject to domestic abuse – all because our president let them, and because we let him. It is both sad and shocking that Americans, by and large, are not up in arms over how Trump and his Republican sycophants abandoned them and the world, not apoplectic that the desire to “own the libs” or to transfer money from the middle class to the wealthy or to just exercise sadism, or whatever Trump’s and MAGA’s perverse motives are, has meant sacrificing so many, many lives with so many more to come. Donald Trump kills. But does anyone really care?

Direct election of an unaccountable leader gave us Trump. The only way to prevent more Trumps is for the legislature, not the people, pick and remove the leader. Trump proves the Constitution is failure. He is not only a cause of evil, he is a symptom of bad design. Quit marching and start planning for a future that prevents tyranny
