The Trump presidency is all but over. [View all]

The huge surge in Covid cases means Trump's presidency cannot survive.

He threatened states if they didn't open, but that hasn't worked, as all the experts predicted. His only response is to keep saying it isn't that bad. It's because we do too much testing.

He isn't providing any solution. He's proven to all that he is a joke president. We have the worst Coronavirus crisis on the planet, and he has given up even trying.

He is mentally incapable of showing empathy to those affected and he simply doesn't understand anything as far as moving forward goes. He's a simpleton who thinks he knows better than the scientists.

This could still just be the start of this pandemic, and even the best scenario is grim until we have a president that takes bold and decisive action at federal level to address this crisis.

Donald Trump is just Tweeting crap and finding diversions to appeal to his base. That is the very best he can do when the nation needs a president to step up to the plate.

He will only continue to lose support as this virus causes more pain, death and economic hardship. It is over for Donald Trump and he knows it.
