But the question it poses is one that MUST be asked.
I hope we'll start hearing and reading lots more messaging like that.
Here's one of my new fave-raves:
Boston Globe (Opinion):
Say it loud, say it clear: Donald Trump needs to resign over his handling of the coronavirus
By Michael A. Cohen Globe Columnist,Updated April 25, 2020, 5:00 a.m.
The United States has just over 4 percent of the worlds population, but had about one-third of all global coronavirus cases and one-quarter of the fatalities, as of Friday.
This is a catastrophic failure that can be laid largely at the feet of President Trump. Editorial boards and politicians both Democratic and Republican should be calling on him to resign immediately.
Its not just the catalog of screw-ups that led us to this point the playing down of the threat, the lack of testing, the spread of misinformation and lies, and the government-wide inattention to the issue. Its that Trump represents an ongoing danger to the health and well-being of the American people.
Consider, for example, the strange case of hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malarial drug that Trump began publicly touting several weeks ago as a potential treatment for the coronavirus. What do you have to lose? the president asked, about a drug that had not been approved by the FDA for that purpose. It turns out the answer is your life.
