President Trump continues to fail us in so many ways that it is hard to pick his greatest failure. Perhaps his greatest failure is his response to COVID-19. Americans, especially old Americans, are dying because of that failure.
About 220,000 Americans are dead and hundreds are being added to that each day. Somedays it is over a thousand new deaths. In addition many are seriously ill. And sometimes this illness is long term (Long Covid)
Public health officials advise the population on how to save lives with simple measures such as wearing masks and social distancing. As the virus surges, President Trump defies and attacks these officials while holding large rallies which have been called super-spreader events for COVID-19 while teling lies about COVID and many other things.
Now we find out that the White House Coronavirus Task Force not only knew how bad it was but kept that information from the people while the President lied about Covid.
Yes, President Trump has failed in many ways but this could be the worst. And President Trump continues to fail us in addressing this pandemic. Several months ago it was 100,000 dead and now it is over twice that and rapidly increasing.
When you vote, please think about which candidate is more likely to successfully lead us through the pandemic and support those candidates for other offices who will help get us out of this mess.
