If the coronavirus fight is a "war," Trump has been a disastrous commander in chief

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump has framed the fight against the coronavirus as a war against an “invisible enemy.” But if this is a war, Trump has been a disastrous commander in chief.

He’s offered the nation no real plan to defeat the coronavirus. He continually undercuts the authority of his “generals” in this war — top health officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci who are critical to the war’s success. He’s failed to give his front-line troops — the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff working to treat and save coronavirus patients — the vital equipment they need. And he’s done little to bring the country together to support the war effort.

“I don’t take responsibility at all,” Trump infamously told reporters in March.

Americans must not only suffer the indignity of being drafted into Trump’s war, then, but also suffer the indignity of losing it. More US citizens have died from the coronavirus than during the Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq Wars combined.

3. I don't know what you mean

The virus is over, pools and beaches are packed, I can go to a movie, get a haircut and a tattoo, eat at my favorite buffet, schools are set to reopen on schedule, the stock market is coming back. Admit it, Trump, solved the problem single handedly, in spite of everyone working against him, and can now take his victory lap......

100,000 is a great beautiful number like no one has seen before. Because of the Don, that number wasn't a million......

This is what we have known we would face from day one.

4. By moving the goal posts to 2.2 million deaths, he tries to make himself look good.

When the time comes, he'll move the goal posts again.

If he had done as well as Germany we would have 65,000 fewer deaths.

You would think the U.S. could manage this as well as Germany?
