How far fetched would a Class action lawsuit against Donald Trump be?

I'm talking billions of dollars on behalf of the families who died from Covid because of Trump's complete ineptitude and failure to properly address the pandemic. His failure to keep his promises when taking the oath of office. It would take someone like the late, great "King of torts" Melvin Belli. Just wondering.

Legally I think there is definitely a valid argument to be made. Unfortunately there is also a long standing American tradition of presidents and their administrations being above the law.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Right! I was thinking as of Feb. 2021...But like hapless Rudy it would be, "Evidence? we dun need no stinkin' evidence!"

@Grateful4you The bigger problem I think is the fact that even when the US government was torturing people the only person to get locked up was the whistleblower so I am not optimistic anyone will be held accountable here either.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Probably not. But come Jan.21st. There are folks in NYC chomping at the bit to have their day in court but you are already aware of that.

@Grateful4you For a variety of reasons I wish them luck.
