We tend to push global responses to crises such as pandemics and lend our support to nations struggling with responses. However, this time, we had a complete moron sociopath as president and he chose to lie, set up competition between state governments, and international organization like the WHO, and bash China and other countries rather than lead a united response.

Had Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Barak Obama, or basically any other person, including some Republicans been President, the response would have been very different.
