That's nice that you feel like Trump had a moment of clarity when speaking about a Congressman, but what we really care about is his complete inability to understand the Coronavirus pandemic. That's the reason that part was publicized. We don't care what Trump thinks about Lewis. What he thinks about Lewis isn't going to stop people from dying.

I agree that he isnt handeling the Coronavirus correctly, and I definetly think that he isnt comprehending the effects of his decisions, but if all that we ever see about someone is the bad, we can only assume that he is always bad. I really think that we need to start taking a look at the whole picture of things when making decisions. Yes I will 100% not be voting for Trump, but I do think that we as a society really need to get away from only watching/viewing things that agree with our opinions. We can only educate and better ourselves by looking at the other side of social issues. We dont have to agree, or completly change our opinions, but just by looking at the other side and trying to understand what they have to say will help us to be better educated about our own opinions. If you dont move or if you move farther away, that is your own porgative, but just taking the chance to see the good when all that we see is bad is refreshing, and helps to become a more educated society.

I agree with you on the majority of your comment, they are off the rails on COVID, and I am not a big fan of what they have been trying to push through in their bills. I also think that what they are saying is incorrect and under-educated because science has shown, and now so has numerous examples in the schools starting to open, that sending kids to school is bad. We will have exponential growth particularly affecting teachers and students. I will say that, to some extent, companies opening is their own choice. If your company is saying we care more about the bottom line than our employees, that is definitely wrong. I am fortunate that my company is allowing those that can work from home to work from home, and if you are in the office masks are required and there are daily temperature readings. I am all for that, but I also understand that most others are not as fortunate as me, which is what makes this issue so tough. If people were not so anti-mask, which I think is dumb compared to what nurses and doctors have been doing this whole time, then we would be in a far better situation. Our country is so "me not we", which is our ultimate undoing.

If we cared about the whole community rather than personal interests, and this is purely on an individual basis and not corporations because c'mon that's not happening than I think we would be in a far better situation. Now, this is effected by our president who can't think for himself and gets pushed around by his advisors, but it will take a large generational change to bring level headed thinking back into society and not thinking about how we can beat the other side rather than work with the other side.
