If you think Trump is doing a good job managing the Coronavirus pandemic, how many deaths will it take for you to change your mind? How many months of a suppressed economy are you willing to live with, all because infection levels are STILL too high to reopen safely, due to partisan disputes over mask wearing and social distancing fueled by the president?
\nBecause frankly, we could’ve been back to a new normal months ago, if Trump had listened to the experts at the CDC, WHO and NIH and designed one. THAT was his job, to design and construct a new covid-ready normal and help us get there. He Failed. Miserably.
\nI am personally sickened by Trump’s absolute ineptitude in managing the crisis and his lack of even basic compassion at the resultant loss of life. Every other country in the world has done better than the USA at things that we are supposed to be among the best at: healthcare and crisis management.
\nEvery American should be ashamed of where we find ourselves now, as the rest of the world is deciding between laughing at our President or crying for the American people.<\/p>\n
