To the editor: No single occasion demonstrated former President Trump’s management capability higher than the pandemic. I keep in mind individuals feeling remoted and scared as medical doctors and hospitals have been initially with out robes, masks and different important gadgets. Folks, particularly the aged, have been dying first by the a whole lot, then by the 1000’s. (“Trump spoke to Putin as many as 7 times since leaving office, Bob Woodward reports in new book,” Oct. 8)
For months it was chaotic till companies and Dr. Anthony Fauci of the Nationwide Institute of Allergy and Infectious Illnesses began setting tips to fill the void created by Trump’s inaction. Thankfully, Trump didn’t stand of their means, however he appeared totally helpless.
Greater than 1 million Individuals 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 pacesetter who acted so selfishly and ineptly throughout a disaster. It’s laborious to really feel something apart from anger now that we all know Trump truly despatched COVID-19 checks to Russian chief Vladimir Putin earlier than they have been simply obtainable to Individuals.
I’m certain that those that misplaced family members, particularly in the course of the early months of the pandemic, have to be offended.

To the editor: My remark isn’t particularly about whether or not or not Trump spoke with Putin or what was stated. 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 title calling and insults.
Cheung known as Woodward a “sleazebag,” demented, incompetent and boring, and stated 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 title calling doesn’t belong in a civilized political area.

To the editor: No worries. These calls reported by Woodward have been in all probability Putin simply asking Trump for extra secret paperwork or further particulars concerning paperwork already given to him.
Let’s transfer on. Concentrate on the long run.
