I was referring to the riots not Covid. These riots would have probably happened no matter who was president. It has been building up for a while. I do think Trump played a role in the volcano finally erupting.
Covid doesn't care who the president is, it will be here just the same. Again, I think Trump fucked up in dealing with it. He denied its danger too long. He hasn't done much to help with either matter.
Our country needs a president who can bring people together. I honestly don't think Trump has done or will do that.
With Covid he waited to long and failed to take needed measures because he didn't want to admit fault. In the wake of these protests he is on the attack going after Democrats and saying he is going to send the military in to shoot everyone. That is not what we need right now. Not more fuel on an already out of control fire. We need a sensible voice unifying us. Representing all of us. Trump is not that voice. He refuses to be. Maybe he just can't be. I accept that.
He will be forced to bring in the national guard everywhere if this continues and it will and it will get worse. Is it ok too to do that? It won't matter.
The numbers of covid infections death rates will go up now anyway with these protests. Sky hi. We were starting to open slowly as this was happening. Some states were being Irresponsible in opening to quick. But, yes we needed to open. Our economy is buckling. Businesses are closing, social security is being eaten up, schools are going to millions less. I face the prospect of getting laid off in the fall.
There is no magical answer. I don't blame Trump merely for inaction. There was not a lot he could do to stop these protests (He did pull back restrictions on police officers) but he is an ineffective leader and he has and will continue to fail to unify us, because he doesn't have the ability. Maybe that is not his faults. His DNA just doesn't have that soft side, let's come together koombiya peace, or maybe he does and is afraid to show it.
