Trump is Deliberately Worsening the Pandemic
Trump keeps claiming that the U.S. is behind at testing for COVID-19 because he inherited "obsolete" and "broken" tests from the Obama administration. If the Obama administration was attempting to test for the coronavirus, then they were absolutely brilliant and prescient because the virus was only discovered in December 2019 -- three years into the Trump administration.
Trump is lying about everything and is attempting to divert blame from his total failure as president. The media should stop broadcasting his lies. Reporters should develop a pact that when Trump attacks one for asking a valid question that he refuses to answer, the next reported called on should ask the exact same question. Repeat as necessary.
Trump's failures at protecting the nation from this pandemic are a result of his disdain for expertise. He disbanded the departments and people who could have organized an effective response to the unfolding disaster that Trump is exacerbating. He ignored repeated warnings early in his term about the potential for what is happening now. He refuses to use plans developed by the Obama administration that give step-by-step instructions even a moronic administration like Trump's could follow if they actually had any intention of saving lives.
Trump is incompetent. This is not a new revelation. What is new is the likely reasons for his lack of action to mitigate the pandemic in the United States. Is he using it to enhance his chance for re-election? Is he following some diabolical plan of Putin's to overthrow our country? A few short weeks ago, questions like these would have been deemed as ridiculous and in the realm of conspiracy nut-cases.
Not any more.
