At the time of posting this, President Trump has tested positive for COVID-19 and has mild symptoms. One of my children on finding out said that they wished that he died of this, a view that not only I disagree with, but told them off for expressing it.
Back in March, there was a similar issue when Nadine Dorries developed symptoms of COVID-19 and one of my elected representatives posted something about it which I felt was out of order. I despise many of the views of Nadine Dorries, but she had not contributed to COVID being worse, denied it's existence, ignored advice to isolate or underplayed it's significance.
Trump has acted in a disgraceful manner. His campaigns have contributed to an increase in cases of COVID, and he has not led by example when it comes to preventative matters such as the use of facemasks.
Do I wish that he dies due to this? No. If he does, I will consider it justice. While I am religious, he is not going to feature in my prayers, as I feel there are others who deserve the intervention of god far more than he does.
But, if he does die, I think that there will be an increased vote for the GOP in the US elections in November as many republicans will not vote for him and some are active in campaigning against him.
