This Incompetent Administration's Response to Coronavirus

At first I thought Trump was purely a moronic cipher...someone not really with a philosophy or world outlook. But if you examine not what he says but what he does a lot of his policies are straight out of the Calvin Coolidge Herbert Hoover playbook...although to compare Trump to Hoover is not totally fair to Hoover, who did some things that were progressive and never done before, like the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. He just wouldn't go as far as Roosevelt.
That was his downfall.

Trump only seems to change his rhetoric when he sees his election chances threatened, which was clearly evident at yesterday's Covid-19 briefing.
However he won't open up the enrollment to the Obamacare exchanges to help people get insurance, many of whom voted for him. Plus he lies so often you can't believe anything he says.

If I was Trump I would ask China to send immune Covid-19 health care workers to NYC because they are veterans who have fought this disease, know what they are doing and have the right protective gear.


Today he is trying to deflect his imcompetence with a war on drugs dog and pony show that no one gives a damn about right now.
That is something he will never do. Trump just looks at other people like a child looking at a busy ant hill. He can't imagine being one of the ants.

Pence seeks to blame CDC and China for any delay in US coronavirus response -- not Donny's initial failure to face reality

Right, Pence. History will be the judge. Donny will go down in the history as the worst fake president, ever. If there's any justice, he'll serve life behind bars.

When the next pandemic occurs (and make no mistake, it will) and the federal government is unable to respond in a coordinated and effective fashion to protect the lives of US citizens and others, this decision by John Bolton and Donald Trump will be why.

Donny and Bolton, not China, are 100% to blame for this mess. This could have been prevented.

Donny Replaced White House Pandemic-Response Team With Jared Kushner

https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020...ronavirus.html

At his coronavirus press briefing yesterday, Fox News correspondent John Roberts asked President Trump about his 2018 decision to eliminate the National Security Council’s pandemic-response office. Trump lashed out, “You know that’s a false story, what you just said is a false story … You shouldn’t be repeating a story you know is false,” accusing Roberts of “working for CNN.” (The charge of committing legitimate journalism is the most serious Trump could think to hurl at a Fox News employee.)

The story is not false. Trump did eliminate the job of coordinating a national pandemic response. And the strongest evidence of the damage he did is that this job is now being performed by Jared Kushner.
