...but if I could make a boxing analogy... Obama would be Muhammad Ali and Trump would be George Foreman, duking it out in the Rumble in the Jungle. Obama playing it coy, doing the Rope-a-dope, picking his spots and unloading a flurry here and there, slowly wearing down his opponent. Trump like Foreman would be flailing away right out of the gate for five or six rounds, punching himself out and draining all his energy, until he's finally ripe for the picking.... then BAM, a sock to the jaw and down he goes!!

Maybe I've got too much Covid time on my hands, lol I don't know....

And the entire world benefitted from Obama's swift action -- which mind you was nothing he did personally, but was done by deploying a team of experts to contain the virus from spreading and educate countries on how to stop it in its tracks. I don't believe Obama sought any personal glory by containing it, he was just using the science and technology that is currently available to look out for the world's health and well-being.

Contrast that with trump -- who has botched the Coronavirus situation so badly it is now an out of control monster. To trump, the handling of this pandemic is all about making money, giving medical supplies to those who kiss his fat ass, and ignoring the experts in lieu of his own pea-brain "hunches". There's no plan, no strategy, no teamwork, no competence, and no solution as long as this mobbed-up dickweed loser is in control.

Trump retweeted a tweet today that in part described Trump as "vain, insensitive and raw."

Not gonna argue with that.

I'd add incompetent, disinterested, lazy, ignorant, heartless ...

No one has ever been more incompetent than him. If he made this boast it would be the first time he was correct. Very, very bigly.
