The true test of a President is how he/she handles a crisis. Trump has failed this test.

Among many, many others.

He was unfit for the office from the beginning; he's more unfit than ever now. That is why, more than ever, we need to get his dumb narcissistic criminal ass out of the White House.

Don't just vote him out, but get your family and your friends and your friend's friends and everyone you know to vote the SOB out. We won't survive another Trump term.

Trump is not capable of handling a crisis. Right after the election, I wondered what he would do if we had a 9/11 - type incident or a massive hurricane or earthquake. I just couldn't see him comforting the nation in a crisis. And those thoughts have proven to be true. Trump can't speak without belittling other people or pumping himself up. Now, more than ever, we can see how unfit for office he is.

trillions of dollars being thrown around, and donnie gets to allocate it! there's no way he's not going to profit from this big time.

oh, you mean *america* will suffer because of what he's doing, ha, ha! how quaint, as if donnie's trying to help america.

no, sorry, he's only trying to grift as much as he can, and with a big crisis comes big truckloads of money, and donnie will siphon off all he can.

the rest of us may curse his name, but he and his backers will have our money in their bank accounts.

because with very little effort he could have saved the day and put himself in a very good position for reelection.

But that was never going to happen.
