Should Trump apologize to Herman Cain's family or at least share some responsibility?

It looks like Herman contracted Covid as a result of attending Trump's rally in Tulsa. Trump held the rally with no social distancing, even though only a third of the seats were in use. He held the rally against CDC guidelines. He held the rally without insisting on the use of masks. He was so fearful of attendees suing him, that they all had to tick a box to agree to a Covid liability waiver.

Still Cain died, and we have no idea how many others contracted the virus at that event or passed it on to others, or died.

Should Trump apologize to Herman Cain's family, or at least share some responsibility?

I feel heartbroken. My heart sinks on the death of Herman Cain.

Knowing that this man died after being exposed to a deadly virus that we were all aware of and he did not take adequate self-protection measures. What breaks my heart is that this will not make the slightest bit of difference to Trump and his enablers.

It should be a wake up call to the president. He should feel some empathy for Cain's family., He should care that a colleague died. He should act like a human being and learn from it and see that masks and distancing are important. But Trump will just brush it off and carry on along his reckless path that will directly result in many more tens of thousands dying. That breaks my heart, that this is our leadership in America today.

Why isn't there loud, unified condemnation of Trump's cavalier approach to people's lives?

This pandemic could be controlled by modifying people's behavior, but Trump is hell bent on encouraging people to spread the virus.

Free trips to Florida to help the Trump campaign, rallies with no social distancing and barely any masks, the mocking of those who do wear masks, the downplaying of the danger of this virus, the banning of Dr Fauci from interviews, using masks as part of a culture war -- we need clear messaging that this is unacceptable and Trump's actions are killing more Americans.

Why isn't there a coordinated attack against Trump over this by every single Democratic lawmaker? He's acting this way and still has over 40% support. It has become an acceptable norm to too many ill-informed Americans. Shouldn't Democratic lawmakers collectively speak out? Shouldn't they organize themselves to make Trump's reckless behavior be the number one story? This isn't a time to be passive.

Every day Trump is killing more Americans. Sorry, but Benghazi had ten investigations over four deaths and was used to hammer Hillary Clinton and Obama, but every day Trump gets away with his shit that is killing us. I'm not even asking for an investigation. I just want Trump to be held to account by every lawmaker in the land who is as horrified at what he is doing as people are around the world who compare his stupidity and our out-of-control virus cases to their own.

Stop taking a pea-shooter to a gunfight. We can't simply wait for the American people to decide. Trump may steal the election and too many people will die in the meantime. We need to fight as if we are Republicans.

Would you support an international effort to save America?

The world must be looking at America, thinking what the hell went wrong, and how much worse could it get?

Whereas other nations see a curve of new Covid cases, in America it is out of control. We have an anti-science president who doesn't take it seriously at all, and has bungled it at every step. Infection is so rife, we are banned from traveling to many other nations.

Then we have the danger posed by a president who has proven he is unstable in his dealings with other nations. He has shown his authoritarian leanings, his disregard for human rights, and now he looks set to try to steal the election. If Trump succeeds, God help not only America, but every life on the planet.

What, if anything, should other nations do? Should they mind their own business or should they work together to try to save America?
