To the editor: No single occasion demonstrated former President Trump’s management potential higher than the pandemic. I keep in mind folks feeling remoted and scared as docs and hospitals had been initially with out robes, masks and different important gadgets. Folks, particularly the aged, had been dying first by the tons of, then by the 1000’s. (“Trump spoke to Putin as many as 7 instances since leaving workplace, Bob Woodward stories in new e book,” Oct. 8)
For months it was chaotic till companies and Dr. Anthony Fauci of the Nationwide Institute of Allergy and Infectious Ailments began setting tips to fill the void created by Trump’s inaction. Thankfully, Trump didn’t stand of their method, however he appeared completely helpless.
Greater than 1 million People have died from COVID-19, essentially the most documented by any nation.
So let’s pause once we consider turning our authorities again over to a frontrunner who acted so selfishly and ineptly throughout a disaster. It’s arduous to really feel something apart from anger now that we all know Trump really despatched COVID-19 assessments to Russian chief Vladimir Putin earlier than they had been simply obtainable to People.
I’m certain that those that misplaced family members, particularly throughout the early months of the pandemic, should be indignant.

To the editor: My remark is just not particularly about whether or not or not Trump spoke with Putin or what was mentioned. I used to be appalled on the feedback made by Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, who responded to journalist Bob Woodward’s e book with identify calling and insults.
Cheung referred to as Woodward a “sleazebag,” demented, incompetent and boring, and mentioned his e book needs to be used for bathroom paper. That is the form of rebuttal we hear from Trump’s camp — they haven’t any information and stoop to trash speaking and insults.
This schoolyard identify calling doesn’t belong in a civilized political area.

To the editor: No worries. These calls reported by Woodward had been most likely Putin simply asking Trump for extra secret paperwork or further particulars concerning paperwork already given to him.
Let’s transfer on. Concentrate on the longer term.
