During the final presidential debate last night, Trump’s performance highlighted his failed response to the virus over the last eight months: Trump spewed lies, attacked health experts, and continued to downplay the pandemic.
Americans have paid a high price for Trump’s failure to combat the virus – 223,000 deaths and 8 million cases and counting – and the embarassing show he put on at the debate proves he only intends to make this crisis worse.
