With the 2020 Presidential election this year in the US, incumbent Trump is seeking to retain another four-year term. After being asked about a peaceful transition of power between himself and candidate Biden, Trump would not affirm this long-standing American value. This prompted former National Security Adviser HR McMaster to label this as "a gift to our adversaries". McMaster goes on to say "In fact, even talking about it, I think, is irresponsible." The conversation is happening because the President threw the matter into doubt. McMaster answered questions about Trump's St. John's Church photo op back in June but declined to comment about the president's response to the coronavirus.
