Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Pol Pot are among the deadliest. Trump has also been associated with policies that contributed to significant loss of life and misery. COVID-era health decisions during his first term, along with RFK Jr.\u2019s policies in his second term, as well as the dismantling of the NIH and withdrawal from the WHO, have all been linked to avoidable deaths and illness. Eliminating or reducing global aid and health programs has likewise been associated with millions of preventable deaths worldwide.  &#8220;Drill, Baby, Drill&#8221; policies result in an additional 7 million deaths a year from fossil fuel air pollution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"\/albums\/Rebellion\/\">Rebellion<\/a>&#8220;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Intro] Hey, country!
