Donald John Trump’s state of denial is breathtaking in its scope.<\/p>\n

He said this past week that “vaccine or no vaccine \u2026 we’re back.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Actually, Mr. POTUS, we aren’t back. We are far from “back.”<\/em> Thousands of Americans are still dying daily. Thousands more of us are getting sick. Take away the decline in death and infection in New York, and the rest of the country is still spiking.<\/p>\n

Take a look at Texas — where my family and I live — and we see a surge in infection.<\/p>\n

So while the president can bellow, bluster, bloviate all he wants about us being “back,” the reality tells us something quite different.<\/p>\n

The death toll has surpassed 90,000 on its way to 100,000 Americans dying. Who knows when it will end? Trump doesn’t know. Neither do the medical experts he has brought aboard to coordinate the pandemic response.<\/p>\n

So, Donald Trump needs to do us all a favor \u2026 and keep his trap shut!<\/p>\n\n
