Mr. President, it’s St. Patrick’s Day, and I hear your voice as I turn on the TV. You brag about your unprecedented response to the virus and state that you took it seriously from the very beginning. Yet I watched you laugh at your Feb. 28 rally in South Carolina, stating that worry about the coronavirus was the latest hoax from the Democrats. That was a mere 18 days ago.
As Americans, we are frightened of what lies ahead, hunkering down in our homes, distancing ourselves from family and friends. Meanwhile, you promise that the economy will rebound better than ever and that we will “win” this.
This is not a game or a contest. This is real, and it is affecting each of us in a very big way.
At a time like this, we need a leader who shows compassion—for those who have lost loved ones or those who are suffering with this devastating disease. We need a leader who will own up to his failings and promise to do better in the months ahead.
Mr. President, until the lying stops, I refuse to watch your briefings. They are detrimental to my well-being and mental health.
Linda Yates, Parkville
Note from KBJ: Hatred has warped Linda Yates's mind. Sad.
