Letter: That’s not leadership

(Andrew Harnik | AP) President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he arrives at Sacramento McClellan Airport, in McClellan Park, Calif., Monday, Sept. 14, 2020, for a briefing on wildfires.

Donald Trump, in March 2020 and on tape, admitted to knowing how dangerous the coronavirus was. He is trying to downplay his remarks, saying he didn’t want to create a panic.

To me, using this logic would be akin to someone knowing of impending doom — say, 9/11, which is apropos during the 19th year of the 2001 attacks — and not warning the country or at least the intended targets because of not “wanting to create a panic.”

Meanwhile people were dying and businesses were closing.

Leadership? I think not.
