Top Five Stunning Details from Blockbuster NYT Report on Trump WH’s Belated, Chaotic Coronavirus Response

.... 1. In the early months of the crisis, both Trump and his economics advisers repeatedly pushed back against national security officials who wanted to publicly blame China for outbreak, for fear of angering the political leadership in Beijing and jeopardizing the administration’s recently-signed trade deal. ....

2. Despite his public claims to the contrary, Trump was, in fact, contemporaneously briefed about adviser Peter Navarro’s January 29 memo, which ominously warned of a potential coronavirus outbreak that could ravage public health and shatter the economy. ....

3. One of the Trump’s deputy national security advisers, Matthew Pottinger, a well-known China hawk, increasingly pursued a conspiratorial storyline that the coronavirus had been created in a Chinese lab and accidentally leaked to the outside world. ....

4. Trump repeatedly leaned on the advice of a small group of Wall Street and corporate confidantes, who continued counseling against shutting down schools and businesses for weeks after public health officials had pushed for those moves. ....

5. Dr. Deborah Birx played a key role in finally convincing the president to take the virus seriously and publicly endorse social distancing and shelter-in-place guidelines to help stop the rapid spread of COVID-19. ....

... Dr. Birx did not have the rough edges that could irritate the president. He often told people he thought she was elegant.

5. the original NY Times article is a litany of excuses for ignorance and incompetence

it's almost as if they are trying to salvage what's left of the national image after such a gross display.

6. The national image is at the bottom of the Marianas Trench

and won’t be salvaged soon, I fear.

Trump is the embodiment of every negative stereotype anybody has ever had about Americans and has confirmed everyone’s worst suspicions about us. Every bad impulse our society can belch up, sitting right there in the Oval Office.

7. Could you outline the "litany of excuses"? I skimmed the article & saw just long exposition of

SHITLER's "failure," starting with the headline/title: "He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus".

****Or am I reading your post wrong, that the "excuses" are those of the SHITLER crew?
