Dear Mr. Trump,

Against the advice of experts, you are continuing to downplay and lie about the coronavirus crisis. You would clearly rather have people continue to spread the disease and have the death toll mount if only you could encourage the stock market to go up. What’s more important, you ask: a few hundred thousand elderly people who will die someday anyway or the health of your IRA fund?

Apparently, you don’t know that businesses can be brought back to life from the dead, but that people cannot. All those people you’re encouraging to congregate together in churches are putting, not only their own lives at risk, but those of the rest of their community. Obviously, you don’t care.

And when you claim that you’ve already sent 4,000 respirators to New York, but we know you’ve sent only 400, it’s just another example of your unstoppable lying.

You are the most ill-equipped president in the history of this country to handle any crisis.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
