Shrinking

Yesterday, the Boston Globe published a superb opinion piece (link here) with the title "The Incredible Shrinking President" and the secondary title of "As the country staggers through the coronavirus pandemic, Trump appears increasingly irrelevant."

Consider the following excerpt:

"Governors and mayors are providing vital information and genuine comfort to their fellow citizens. Health care workers, scientists, grocery store clerks, food bank volunteers, and first responders toil on the front lines of this crisis, rarely acknowledged or praised by the President. The gap between their selflessness and Trump's self-absorption is yawning."

"It's difficult to ignore the President of the United States. Yet, in the midst of the worst public health crisis to strike this country in more than a century, there's no denying the fact that rather than being the nation's 'total authority,' Trump has become an increasingly irrelevant figure."
