Inside Sources (Op-Ed): Trump Is No Compassionate Conservative
As the COVID-19 death toll has continued to mount, Americans have waited for a sign that President Trump understands what we are enduring.
Many have lost loved ones, jobs, health insurance and retirement savings, but those who are suffering have barely drawn a mention in the Rose Garden or as the president leaves the White House in a helicopter to play golf.
