America has learned a lot about Trump during coronavirus crisis

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/14/opinions/in-coronavirus-crisis-america-has-learned-a-lot-about-triump-dantonio/index.html

----

When asked about the decision that disbanded a White House office on pandemics, the President said he didn't make the decision to shut it down and couldn't resist telling the reporter who asked about the issue that she posed "a nasty question." This is the Trump we all know, and the one we didn't need to hear from in this moment of intense crisis.

There was more. He made false statements about President Barack Obama's handling of the swine flu epidemic. And he remarked in a childlike fashion that he'd "learned a lot about this over the last two weeks."

Americans have learned a lot, too. We have learned that the President has failed to comprehend or act on the danger to citizens, or to provide calm, credible and steady leadership.

He should step aside, perhaps even go into self-quarantine for a while, and let the experts like Fauci and Birx take over. We have no need for a stressed-out master of ceremonies.

You have a chance to put this dipshite down for the count and trounce him in Novemember, along with the downballot Ruspublicans in the Congress and in state/local elections.

DO NOT LET THIS OPPORTUNITY GO. PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS, AND COMMERCIALS AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTINGS NOW WILL GO A LONG WAY TO WINNING AT ALL LEVELS ON NOVEMBER 3.

But, then again,what do I know?
