Please, Mr. Trump, take better care of yourself. The Pres. is our leader, our role model, the anchor of The Good Ship America. On that balcony, I saw your brave face but also saw how often you supplemented your normal breathing by pulling in extra air through your mouth. I know you’re not feeling too bad, but, then, you’re on steroids that hide or lessen symptoms. You want to reassure us, but that doesn’t mean you must climb steps unnecessarily to stand on the balcony, or weaken yourself by taking a car-ride to wave to us.
In fact, you don’t need to be brave for us. We don’t think you’re weak when you wear a mask or take time off to rest or follow the medical advice of the best doctors in the world who are treating you. No. Instead, that makes us think you care enough for us to take care of yourself, that you’re being conscientious so you don’t infect others, and that you’re being a strong role model for us to prevent the spread of the virus and show us how to recover from it if we get it.
Please, Pres. Trump, take better care of yourself and, in the process, take better car of Americans.
