The economy has suffered tremendous losses over the last few months.  American people have experienced the loss of their family members -- numbering into the 150,000's due to an ongoing pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus.  Leadership up top (i.e., White House) is completely lacking with an appropriate response.  Federal troops have stormed cities across the U.S. in response to race protests over the unlawful killing of George Floyd (and others).  What is going on here?

Meanwhile, President Trump emerges yesterday at a news conference to discuss the possibility of voter fraud and litigation over the next presidential election this November.  President Trump further asserted that the possibility of delaying the vote while outrageous is not so shocking.  Top Republicans have shot down the idea of postponing the election this November.

Reporting on MSNBC's Morning Joe shows that newspapers across the board (Republican-leaning along with Democratic-leaning) have been honest regarding the outrageous assertion by the president.  Below is an image is taken from reporting on Morning Joe of an excerpt by the WallStreet Journal:

President Trump has always tried to stay in the limelight of the news.  Whether good or bad, the press has been focusing on the president and the administration.  And that is the way reporting should be.  Although, President Trump should rethink the strategy of throwing out unconstitutional ideas, such as delaying an election, while at the White House Press briefing room.  Such press will only serve to weaken the standing among the Republican party.

Nevertheless, the next few months leading up to the election will be full of excitement and sorrow.  The economic tragedies to come on behalf of those who will lose their houses and lives is terrible.  Action by the government seems remote, given the measures already taken to date.  

What are American people left to hope or think about?  Other than holding hope for a new leader -- one who can actually lead.  I had high hopes for President Trump when elected.  I did not vote for him.  Unfortunately, the president has let people like myself down along with other Americans.  The time for him to go has come.
