Since Jan 20, 2017. So if it's a crisis in leadership, it's been there for almost 3 1/2 years now. The Corona virus stuff is demonstrating that the absence of competence is catastrophic in a crisis.

Even now they're soft pedaling the abject failure this administration has been. Not to be cynical, but did they just notice that people where dying? The litany of Trumps failures is long.

Trump's failure to lead has caused thousands of unnecessary deaths, lost billions if not trillions of dollars, and the actions he did take have made a bad situation worse. The incredible efforts by first responders, medical professionals, and everyday citizens have been completely wasted by Trump, and we're worse off today than we were months ago, weeks ago, days ago, and even hours ago.

The facts are plain, and media outlets need to make the bright line connection between Trump's hapless efforts and the public health emergency that gets worse every day.

This is the worse crisis Our Republic has ever faced since it's founding.

We The (Sane) People have to step up and stop him and his hateful racist fascist thugs, enablers and supporters.

10. The first rescue package was $3 trillion dollars. The upcoming one is likely to be of similar size.

This IS crisis leadership. Republicans will create one where there isn't just so they can sit back and enjoy the drama.... keep people from paying attention to where all the money and power is going.

DJT is particularly qualified to be a "crisis leader" . He has a long history of starting fires, fanning the flames, then pretending he put out the fire single handedly. All the while shoveling money into his own pockets while every was busy handing buckets of water one to the next because he made sure all the fire engines were padlocked before he ever lit the match.
