The post from the group attached to the clip read, “Welcome to this week. Nearly 90,000 American lives have been lost. The virus is still spreading. And @realDonaldTrump continues to deny and deflect, failing the people he was elected to serve.”
The voice over in the video with the same words on the screen explained that, “Nearly 10,000 more Americans will die; 90,000 deaths and growing. Millions more will file for unemployment. Small businesses are dying. We’re not testing enough.”
“It’s still spreading,” the video added. “Here’s what else is coming this week. He will lie to you over and over. He will tweet instead of lead. He will blame others for his failures. Welcome to this week and the next week and the next and the next… until you do something about it.”
The “Avengers” star has repeatedly attacked the president during his four years in office. Most recently, Ruffalo called out Trump for focusing on “past grievances” after Trump tweeted about “fake journalists” who reported on the Russia investigation.
“Dear @realDonaldTrump, A decent leader would put his attention on those many families and loved ones and mark the importance of their grief and loss,” the “Dark Waters” star tweeted.
Dear @realDonaldTrump,
A decent leader would put his attention on those many families and loved ones and mark the importance of their grief and loss. You dishonor these Americans by focusing on your past grievances. Be thoughtful. Just a suggestion. #BePresidential https://t.co/CJF2MB3oIs— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) May 11, 2020
