Ironies Abound

It is a cruel and tragic irony that citizens residing in the twelve remaining states on limited or no lockdown orders will be those put most at risk by officials following the example of the Trump Administration in delaying a proper and conscientious response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The very same people who comprise the base of DJT's support are now in line to suffer an inordinate and unnecessary loss of life as a result of the lack of leadership on a federal level in failing to issue a stay at home mandate to the nation and, in so doing, needlessly further endanger the lives millions of likely Trump-supporting Americans.
It is equally ironic that these same citizens, many of whom use the term 'snowflake' to describe other fellow Americans with whom they might disagree, are treated to a daily exhibition of whining from a leader who melts under the pressure of having to answer perfectly legitimate questions from representatives of a free press whose job on behalf of the American people it is to ask sometimes difficult and probing questions of those occupying positions of power in their government.
