As you all know, Trump’s failure to display leadership in January cost the lives of far more Americans than Covid-19 would have, and is moving our nation towards a depression. These facts resulted in the United States becoming the world leader in both the number of cases and deaths by a wide margin.

Another huge mistake; a huge failure by your incompetent president, but Republicans in congress continue to defend the worst president in history.

Joni Ernst is the junior Senator from Iowa, and another of Trump’s many stooges. In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Ernst offered a ridiculous answer to a straight forward question.

CNN’s Dana Bash: “You said in 2014 that Obama showed “failed leadership” with Ebola, when only 2 Americans died. Would you say Trump’s showed failed leadership with coronavirus as 130,000 Americans have died?” Sen. Joni Ernst: “No, I think that the president is stepping forward”I

Does Ernst believe that holding hate rallies, and staging a campaign rally at the base of Mt. Rushmore is related to the enormous rise in Covid-19 cases in the last few days? The truth is that by his actions, Trump has abandoned all efforts to address the pandemic.

A quick note to my friends in Iowa: Ernst is up for reelection in November, and she is failing the people of your state. She serves Trump, not you and those you love.
