Letter: Trump only cares about himself

By Patty Brucker, Vancouver

The president does not care about anyone but himself. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee. He insisted on holding a rally despite warnings from health authorities. Six of his campaign workers in Tulsa have tested positive before the event. While responsible U.S. citizens heed the advice given by scientists and physicians, Trump tries to pack 19,000 people into an inside arena, while not enforcing social distancing or the wearing of face masks. Why? Because he wants to show the thousands of people who come to his rally, against the few that might be present at a Joe Biden speech because Biden and his supporters heed the advice of experts.

When are Trump supporters going to wake up to the fact that Trump only cares about himself? All I can say is I hope those rally attendees have reserved their ICU beds and ventilators.
