Trust in our institutions has plunged over the last 20, 30 years. It started before Donald Trump got to office, but he has accelerated the downward spiral.
I think he's become much more erratic. But these rallies really are obscene. We are, as I said, staggering from one obscenity to the next as a people.
the way that Donald Trump is responding to the pandemic is, I think is, they are giving him a lot of rope on the Democratic side and he is increasingly hanging himself.
It is vital that as President, tell his base and tell the whole country that he believes Joe Biden is a legitimate President, that he has not been put there by fraud.
