It should be no surprise that the U.S. problem with COVID-19 is getting worse compared to other countries.

It’s to be expected. And the American people are to blame.

The same mentality that drove Donald Trump’s election in 2016 is the same idiocy and poor judgment reflected in the failure to contain COVID-19 in this country. The people did the wrong thing once; why not twice?

It’s reflecting badly on this country as the world asks, “Why this is happening in the U.S.?”

If the U.S. can elect Trump as president, how can you expect that it can handle a pandemic?
