Bottom line: tRump was the ONE PERSON in the USA who could have mitigated the virus' devastation

...and he blew it. Blew it entirely. Blew it at a level that no one else would have or could have blown it.

And now - with the virus raging - tRump is doing what he always does when he fucks up: blame others, create scapegoats, distract, change the subject, walk away from the problem, lie about everything. It’s as predictable as it is unacceptable.

We need Ds to point this out over and over again. This IS the Trump Virus in every sense of the word.

What about the senators who, on hearing of the coming outbreak, placed frantic calls to their stockbroker, instead of walking to one of the omnipresent microphones outside the chambers to warn their constituents?

They knew it was coming, they knew the president was unable to perform his duties, and they didn’t do anything to inform us, or reach out to anyone who could actually do anything to help mitigate the situation.

Even if they had informed the public, they don’t have the power the president does to make a difference.

A competent president was the ONE PERSON who could have mitigated the virus devastation.
On the other hand, Don the fucking dunce Con is an unmitigated plague on his own.
