A week to forget for President Trump By John Zogby
The president of the United States had nothing to say about COVID-19 during the worst week for new cases and deaths since the pandemic began.
Ironically, the development of the vaccine has occurred on his watch, so his administration will be credited. But President Trump has not shown the kind of empathy or concern required of a national leader.
A federal judge ruled that Trump's policy of no path to citizenship for immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children must be overturned, and job growth fell far below expectations during November.
Meanwhile, the public face of the president has been to continue challenging the election results, even though Biden's margin has now exceeded 7 million votes. His attorneys continue to embarrass themselves by either discouraging Republicans from voting in the Georgia Senate elections in January or by appearing at a Michigan state legislature committee hearing with a very loose cannon.
And Trump is now at war with Attorney General Barr over the election. Another very sad week.
