According to an article by CNN journalist David Axelrod, Trump was defeated not only by Corona, but by deficiencies in his character as the leader of the United States.
“Even before the outbreak of the pandemic, many Americans were weary of Trump’s endless actions and tweets, his angry outbursts, and the conspiracy theories he promoted during his days in the White House,” Axelrod said.
He continued: “Trump created and spurred the emergence of a new industry, called fact checking, due to his massive falsification of data, coupled with his lack of seriousness and blatant disregard for democratic rules, laws and institutions, and worse still, his divisive and racist speeches. “
The American journalist explained that if Trump had “reacted differently with the onset of the Crown crisis, he would have managed to change the perception that Americans have of him, but he did not. He continued to promote conspiracy theories and continued with his threats. and continued to deepen the division, without anyone being able to get the country out of the crisis.
He added: “He made the use of masks a partisan issue, and urged revolt against democratic rulers who are imposing closure … He turned the first weeks of the Crown crisis into a strange and controversial theater.”
The article noted that their poor reaction contributed to deteriorating economic conditions, significant rise in unemployment, deepening disparities and the loss of many lives.
In the midst of that crisis, the article adds, came the crisis of the death of George Floyd, an African American.
He continued: “Rather than seek to resolve and contain the crisis quickly, Trump criticized the peaceful protests that led to riots and sabotage.”
David Axelrod concluded his article by saying, “The virus was not the reason that prevented Americans from re-electing Trump. Corona has served to remind citizens of Trump’s failed actions during the worst pandemic of the century.”
