There's No Way That Trump Can Take Any Credit For Anything Associated With This Crisis....
He discounted it from day 1. He called it a hoax. He didn't establish a national policy for dealing with it. He threw all the decision making to the Governors of States. The Governors had to fight him all the way and it was because of their fighting him that things got done. The health care workers that had to deal with the day-to-day had to endure all kinds of problems with respect to the PPE and equipment that they needed to treat patients with the virus. He didn't invoke the Defense Production Act to provide the materials that are needed to fight this crisis. There was lack of testing from the start and he still doesn't understand the reason for testing. He pushed to get things re-opened too soon. This rushed re-opening precipitated the predicament that we're in now in States like Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc. He didn't set an example by wearing a mask which caused all kinds of his deplorable's to follow his example of not wearing a mask and discounting the need and use of masks.
And depending on the group he speaks to - he changes his positions on this virus to suit the audience.
He was scripted today and I'm sure his handlers at the WH told him to stick to the script and don't deviate from it. He spoke today because he realizes his poll numbers are in the dumper and he has to do something/anything to try and turn them around. I don't think he really believes anything that he had to say today.
He's done nothing to show any kind of sincere leadership in dealing with this crisis. He has no basis for taking any/no/nada credit for anything that is slightly associated with this crisis.
Any strides we might have made with Covid - were not made by him. They were made by the care-givers dealing with the day-to-day management. They learned as they watched people present themselves as a positive case; being put on a ventilator and die. They learned what worked to help other patients that presented themselves as this virus pushed on. They applied what worked and now they are saving some lives.
Strides were made by the Governors of States that fought Trump every step of the way. They persisted and many times had to work around Trump and his administration in order that they were able to save people in their respected States.
Strides were made by the American People that listened to the Drs. and Public Health Experts and stayed at home; social distance; wore their masks and washed their hands.
Trump has been a total failure with this. He was in over his head from the start and he still displays no leadership in dealing with this crisis.
We can't be rid of him soon enough. GOTV!!!!
