once again Stephen sums it up nicely.
Leaders have a duty to keep themselves safe. If you saw a general taking up a battle from the front lines, drawing a sword and charging the enemy, you'd be looking at an idiot.
Trump had a responsibility to keep himself healthy and fit to do his job of providing leadership. Even worse, there was nothing to be gained by NOT being safe. In the case of the general at battle you could at least make the argument that he wanted to contribute to the front line. But Trump not wearing a mask serves no purpose.
Now we have a leadership crisis. This man is supposed to oversee a number of things. He calls the shots if we have to use troops, deal with international policy, etc. If we get attacked, if someone abuses our trade partnerships, if our allies get attacked or abused, we have nobody sitting at the desk that gets the call.
It's already clear that he is suffering of a bad case of covid19, with recovery taking weeks if not months. He's going to suffer of organ problems. His energy levels will be down. He'll need tons of rest for a long time.
While he is convalescing and heavily medicated he is not capable of executing the duties of his office. But regardless, whatever energy he has left is going to go 100% into campaigning. And after the Nov election his energy will go towards political outcomes (to fight the result of the election).
So because of his refusal to practice safety and wear a mask, we now are left without a president for the foreseeable months.
