He must explain what happened, and/or apologize for being duped. No fucking way can he just walk past the destruction of the pandemic lie and all the shit that came along with it.
Yes, Trump could do that. Imagine how healing it would be. A president apologies for misleading We the People? That would like biblically historical and people, lots of people would ask what else they have been mislead.
But no, if he can't do that, he can go to hell too.
