The coronavirus pandemic has killed nearly 200,000 Americans. The death and illness counts are climbing dramatically. They&#8217;re still going up and up. Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, because the Trump administration refused to act decisively when the pandemic arrived. He has been running a scattershot operation. He contradicts the advice of his handpicked medical experts on measures needed to stem the sickness and death rate.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and then there&#8217;s the civil unrest, the turmoil, the deaths of black Americans at the hands &#8212; and knees &#8212; of some rogue cops.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a safe America? Is this the kind of nation we need to <em>preserve<\/em> with the re-election of Donald Trump? Hardly.<\/p>\n<p>And yet the Trumpkin Corps keeps harping about how the United States will head straight to hell if Americans elect Joe Biden as president.
