Someone questioned in the Oct. 8 Valley News forum in response to a previous Oct. 4 article where the “sympathy or concern for [President Donald Trump’s] health issue” has been. They go on to say, “Shame, shame, shame. He is our president!”
Just because he is the president, does not make him deserving of my, or anyone’s, sympathy and concern. That is for sure!!
First of all, he has seemed to cause his own infection of coronavirus by not wearing a mask. And by encouraging others to do the same, he spread the virus to his staffers and various others.
He knew since February (and still knows) how easily this dangerous virus spreads just by breathing in the droplets from the air.
My precious compassion and sympathy are for all the innocent people who died or got sick because of Trump’s not-so-presidential actions in his handling of this deadly pandemic.
