Discussions of a new book about President Trump by respected journalist Bob Woodward include audio clips of the president freely admitting that he lied to the American people regarding COVID-19.

The president traded stock market health and the well-being of America’s wealthiest 10% for the physical, and in many cases the economic, health of the rest of us. While being well aware of the severity of the pandemic, Trump publicly downplayed or even denied its deadly swath. He failed to timely utilize our country’s vast resources to stem the deadly tide. He lied to the very people he swore an oath to protect.

Surely, fair-minded and decent folk of any political persuasion can agree that this unprincipled and morally and ethically challenged individual does not deserve to be president of the United States?
