Opinion: Why Trump should resign today

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney, is the host of SiriusXM radio’s daily program “The Dean Obeidallah Show” and a columnist for The Daily Beast. Dean Obeidallah CNN During the course of the year, Trump mocked Joe Biden and a reporter for wearing masks to stop the spread of the virus, despite experts recommending face coverings as one of the most effective ways to save lives while treatments and vaccines were developed. As the Washington Post reported Saturday after speaking to numerous Trump advisers, the President has given up on dealing with Covid-19 since Election Day. The Post quotes one of Trump’s closest advisers as saying, “I think he’s just done with Covid.” “Done” despite the alarming spike in Covid cases and deaths since Election Day. While it’s true that the virus would have caused infections and deaths in America regardless of what any President would have done, many experts believe that Trump’s failed leadership played a key role in the virus causing proportionately more infections and deaths in the United States than in most other developed nations.
