Donald J. Trump will go down in history as a poor one-time President when he could have been remembered as a two-timer near the top of the second tier. Why? The lack of management and leadership during the pandemic causing hundreds of thousands of deaths that could have been avoided. In spite of a need to coordinate the response among states by purchasing and distributing personal protective equipment; at first he said he would, then changed his mind, then he would, and finally cast the states against each other.

            He belittled his scientific experts at the daily briefings and made extremely stupid suggestions about how to keep from getting it and how to kill it if they got it. He put a Fox talking head with had no expertise in virus to head the scientists. His example of not wearing a mask caused millions to emulate him causing tens of thousands of them and their families to die.

            Instead of a few thousand dead we have a quarter of the world’s deaths with only 4% of its population. Other leaders which followed his example have met with the same results. Brazil’s leader followed Trump’s example and Brazil is now second in deaths per 100,000.

            Proper leadership as in Germany, Austria, Italy, Japan and Australia are examples of how Trump should have led in the controlling of the pandemic. He claims his people got the vaccine out at Warp speed but many of “His” vaccines are from foreign companies. His efforts in distributing vaccines has been scattered and behind other countries. Those countries with national health services have tested more and faster, secured more vaccines per capita, and have injected it into more people than we have.

            We can only hope Biden’s experienced people will save hundreds of thousands of us from choking to death and long term disabilities.

           Why does Donald J. Trump want so much to stay President of the United States since he has spent so little time working on doing the job? Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution prohibits civil and state laws from applying to a sitting President. On January 21, 2021, he could be hit with subpoenas concerning at least two civil suits and several state crimes for income tax evasion, fraud, perjury, and other crimes he has been avoiding for years.

            Ivanka has already been before a grand jury involving an emoluments type crime and diversion of campaign funds regarding Trump’s D.C. Hotel. He has talked to staff members about pardoning himself and his family. Pardons would protect them from any violation of Federal crimes but not civil and state offenses.

            He had planned to live at his Mar-a-Lago Resort but he had signed an agreement limiting his time there to a few days per year. While the President’s area residents could only complain, now their suit can go forward preventing him from living there. That means Donald and Melania Trump’s votes may have been voting fraud since the club can not be his legal address.

            Since New York City and State want to be first in line, the Trumps will not be staying in their New York Hotel. Since most of Europe, in particular Scotland, will not welcome him, maybe his close connection to Netanyahu – oops, he is trying to stay in power because he has prosecutors waiting for him to leave office, too. Maybe an Arab country without extradition to the United States will be his new home.
