The 'Idiot Circus'

To the Editor:

A misleader, standing with a bunch of sycophants, who found themselves trying to cover for President Trump’s misstatements and stupidity. Trying to put lipstick on a pig by suggesting things aren’t as bad as they seem.

A sampling of President Trump’s response to COVID-19:

Jan. 22 – “We have it totally under control.”

Feb. 2 – “We pretty much shut it down coming from China. It’s gonna be fine.”

Feb. 24 – “Stock market starting to look good.”

Feb. 25 – “We’re very close to a vaccine.”

Feb. 26 – “Fifteen cases; within a couple of days, it’s going to be down.”

Feb. 27 – One day, like a miracle, it will all disappear.”

March 6 – “Anybody that wants the test can get it.”

“How do I know so much about this? Maybe I have a natural ability.”

March 29 – COVID-19: 145,029 cases; 2,500 deaths and more, and deaths continue to climb.

There will be a day when COVID-19 declines and America can get back to their lives. Maybe Trump’s “idiot circus” will disappear on Election Day – a miracle that I pray for.
