In this part 1 of 2, Dr. Fraad takes on the question of why so many Americans still support Trump. Donald Trump has shown himself to be utterly incapable of helping Americans to recover from the CoronaVirus Pandemic. Americans are 5% of the world's people and we have fully 25% of the world's COVID-19 victims. Countries like Taiwan, China, Scandinavia, Vietnam, Singapore, and Cuba- nations both rich and  poor have protected their citizens from the pandemic and massive unemployment.
