Debate questions for Trump

The presidential debates are just around the corner, giving voters a chance to question the candidates. Here are some questions for President Trump:

What is the most important lesson you learned from your mentor, Roy Cohn? You also look up to Vladimir Putin, Recep Erdogan, Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, and other strongmen. What do you see in them? Do you mistake being ruthless with courage? You regard members of the military as suckers and losers, do you have a similar disregard for your followers?

You played down COVID-19 to buoy the market and avoid panic. You have remained calm over the past eight months, as now 200,000 of our fellow citizens have died horrible deaths. How have you remained indifferent? So, for the right price would you forsake your followers?

President Trump hopes to have two or more term in office. We deserve some honest answers to these and other simple questions.
