A former defense secretary and CIA director said yesterday that Donald Trump has "essentially gone awol (absent without leave) from the job of leadership that he should be providing a country in trouble during the coronavirus pandemic," The Guardian website reports today (July 2, 2020).
Leon Panetta, who served under nine U.S. presidents, accused Trump of surrendering to the virus and abandoning Americans to their fate.
Panetta said top infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci has warned that America may hit 100,000 new cases a day -- twice the current rate.
He added, "We have a president that is not willing to stand up and do what is necessary in order to lead this country during time of major crisis. I have never experienced a president who has avoided that responsibility."
