The gentleman who co-wrote Trump’s “The Art of the Deal” has never been a fan of the president, but his precise viewpoint has changed since he witnessed the response to COVID-19.  This video, less than two minutes in length, is actually hard to watch, as we see a man quite credibly explaining why Trump has done so little to curtail the virus.

Below is a link to a short but extremely well-done video from WBUR FM, which is Boston’s National Public Radio affiliate and the producer of massive amounts of content that we hear and see on a daily basis.  Here, climate activist Frederick Hewett does a great job at explaining what climate-driven storm flooding is in the process of doing to the previously predictable and life-giving rivers.

“What we have is precious and it’s also vulnerable,” Hewett says. “We have to face the reality of climate change because it doesn’t show itself in our lives every day. But it is very much there. It is very real.”
