Letter to the editor: Trump deflects and lies

Once again Donald Trump has tried to deflect responsibility for his slow response to the pandemic to someone else. In this case, China. Why would he praise President Xi for the good job he was doing and then try to blame him? Why would he believe a communist regime in the first place? Oh, I forgot, they’re good friends.

Trump was advised in January by doctors and scientists of the virus in China. What did he do? Well, he golfed and held rallies. This is the man who said “I won’t have time to golf when I’m president. I’ll be too busy running the country.”

It seems when Trump opens his mouth, out comes a lie. I could maybe overlook some of what he has done but I can’t forgive the lies. I only pray that the good people of this country, Democrats and Republicans, will rally together to get this inept man out of the White House.
