Trump puzzled by his unpopularity? Here's some help

By Tom Burke / Herald columnist

Last Tuesday Donald Trump said, “nobody likes me. It can only be my personality;” expressing bewilderment because, he said, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Barbara Birx were “very highly thought of,” but he wasn’t.

Hey, Don; errr Mr. President, it ain’t your personality nobody likes, it’s what you do that nobody likes.

Well, OK, your personality is pretty awful, hateful even, just ask your niece Mary Trump who lays it all out in grim detail in her book, “Too Much and Never Enough.” So yeah, maybe you do have a terrible personality. But that ain’t the point.

The point is: People don’t like what you do:

• The 150,000 dead from your abject failure to combat the coronavirus.

• The fiasco of your testing and contact tracing nonprograms and, before that, your killing incompetence providing personal protective equipment where it was needed.

• Your insistence on “opening” business as 1,000-a-day die.
