I am not defending Trump, but when was the last time a president had to deal with a crisis like this? 1918? I think trump and DeWine are trying to balance freedom and safety, and it’s impossible, just get it over with and shut it down for 2-3 weeks, cleArly we don’t listen to the social distancing if You venture out.
No one blames Trump for Covid-19. People blame Trump for Trump’s reaction to Covid-19 such as claiming it is the Democrats next hoax. Claiming the WHO’s epidemiological data was wrong based upon a hunch. Denying it was a pandemic. Disbanding the pandemic reaction team. Eliminating the CDC position in China to monitor and report these sorts of outbreaks to our government then complaining China won’t allow CDC officials into their country to monitor and report on this outbreak. Not providing clear guidance to the states during the outbreak. Not providing federal assistance to the states during the outbreak. For providing false or misleading information to the public. For discouraging testing to artificially reduce numbers as not to hurt his chance at re-election. For publicly admitting he would rather Americans on a cruise ship stay at sea rather than return to quarantine because they would increase our case numbers. For caring more about the economy than the people who create the economy.
