The standard Trump answer has been to deny all responsibility for any coronavirus deaths. Trump has tried to blame everyone from China to the nation’s governors to Barack Obama for the number of coronavirus deaths. Trump has never taken any responsibility for his intentionally neglectful handling of the pandemic. The situation in the United States is so bad that the EU is considering banning US travelers from entering.
There are many reasons why Trump is in a position to lose the presidential election, but one of the biggest is that he has abandoned the leadership and responsibility roles of the presidency.
