Trump clearly unfit

Recently, Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19. Surprised? Well you should not be. At the outset of COVID-19, Trump called this deadly virus a Democratic hoax. Trump ignored early U.S. intelligence reports of a possible pandemic. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, stated that had the federal government acted earlier concerning COVID-19, many of the U.S. pandemic casualties would have been avoided.

The wearing of masks has been proven to be an effective method to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Yet at Trump political rallies, Trump refused to wear a mask, and the people attending these rallies were not required to wear masks or maintain social distances, becoming superspreaders themselves. Now over 200,000 Americans have died from this so-called hoax.

It is quite clear had Trump acted immediately and decidedly concerning COVID-19, the lives of thousands of Americans could have been spared. Trump has proven to be grossly incompetent and indecisive, ignoring the advice of medical and scientific people. His reprehensible and disrespectful conduct at the recent debate with Mr. Biden proves that he is not fit to be president of our nation.

On November 3rd, we can turn Trump out of office.
