(63 posts)Youd be forgiven if you hadnt noticed. His verbal bombshells are louder than ever, but Donald J Trump is no longer president of the United States.
By having no constructive response to any of the monumental crises now convulsing America, Trump has abdicated his office. He is not governing. Hes golfing, watching cable TV and tweeting.
How has Trump responded to the widespread unrest following the murder in Minneapolis of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for minutes as he was handcuffed on the ground? Trump called the protesters thugs and threatened to have them shot. When the looting starts, the shooting starts, he tweeted, parroting a former Miami police chief whose words spurred race riots in the late 1960s. On Saturday, he gloated about the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons awaiting protesters outside the White House, should they ever break through Secret Service lines.
Trumps response to the last three ghastly months of mounting disease and death has been just as heedless. Since claiming Covid-19 was a Democratic hoax and muzzling public health officials, he has punted management of the coronavirus to the states. Trump has claimed no responsibility at all for testing and contact-tracing the keys to containing the virus. His new plan places responsibility on states to do their own testing and contact-tracing.

Good points by Dr. Reich. But the fact remains that Trump has at least 7+ seven months left in which he can continue his efforts to destroy as much of Remaining America as possible
