The president should resign

This leadership has been missing from the start of the crisis. If a president has faced a moment such as this and been unable to create effective leadership after 12 weeks of death and economic destruction, then it is unlikely he is capable of it.

At this point, the single most effective action President Trump could do to to save lives and put our country back on a footing toward health and economic prosperity is to resign.

The only explanation for why we are where we are is gross incompetence in the carrying out of the most basic executive functions of the presidency.

In the normal course of events, such incompetence can be endured until an election provides a remedy for the nation. But this is not an ordinary time.
