No, president not doing a good job protecting us

I really have to take issue with the letter from Mr. Schwarz on May 6. Trump is not doing a good job protecting us. He wants the country "opened" now to make the economy look better for his campaign, no matter how many more lives are lost due to spreading COVID-19. He doesn't care. It's all about him.

He said in a clip that has been played over and over "in April it will miraculously disappear." How did that work out? And another clip, he said "the virus is a Democratic Hoax." Really? Trump knew about this virus coming months or at least weeks before we got hit and he did nothing. That is really protecting us.

And now he wants to dismiss the COVID-19 Task Force to keep us in the dark? Although when he was participating in the daily briefings, before he finally listened to his advisers that he was doing harm to his ratings, his suggestions to ingest disinfectants ramped up calls to poison control for those followers who actually believe him and his documented lies. That was really helpful, wasn't it.

And yes, he IS rich, in part because he many times, doesn't pay contractors that he hired.

So many people would be happy if he resigned and permanently spent the rest of his life on the golf course.
