This post is interesting in multiple ways. First, there is a definite biased against the Trump administration and his leadership, or lack thereof, during the majority of the COVID pandemic. The author makes some interesting comments, although somewhat skewed, I do think the his election was founded on the luxury that we have as Americans and our rebellious nature against the government. If has no doubt left a long lasting effect as there is still a massive and entitled attitude afforded by many Americans. Aside from President Trump, there is a more pressing issue that the author noted-the acceptance of experts and their advice. There is no doubt that a number of Americans continue to wear their “I Know Best” hat, but many pulled together and trusted those who have studied for years. This renewed sense of trust in medical experts surely gives faith that one day the government may be able to win back the large number of Americans that have lost faith in them.
