Seriously? Leadership begins at the top, and all it took for the guy at the top to say, "The experts say we need to take this seriously, so let's do that. We're working on testing, but for now wear a mask and distance. If we all look out for one another we'll get through this."

Instead, we got, "It's not serious. It won't affect us. It will just go away. Masks? Nope. I don't need 'em, and neither do you. What are you, weak? Distance? Closures? Hell no. People want to get on with their lives."'

Which message do you think caused more deaths?

Donald took something that affected everyone and twisted it into a politcal issue that divided everyone.
