The United States dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, killing as many as 226,000 people, thus forcing Japan to surrender. Japan had no idea we were capable of inflicting such destruction and death and was totally unprepared to defend itself. Today, by comparison, we have known for months that a virus with the potential to wreck our economy and kill Americans was on its way, and our president has yet to outline any detailed health plan to seriously protect the nation. The threat is very serious, and the only response lately from the president has been to announce an extraordinary ban on travel from Europe to the United States, and called for a series of stimulus measures to blunt the economic side.
“We the people” are not being represented.
— John Wolaver, Glen Ellyn
Note from KBJ: You're an idiot, John. President Trump has done far more than any previous president, including the sainted Obama, to "protect the nation."
