I was just thinking on the way into work today, that of all possible crises a president could face (with possibly the exception of a race war), the is probably the one that is most tailor made to highlight Trump’s incompetence.
Properly dealing with this crisis would require a president who is willing to listen to experts, tell hard truths to the public, taking actions that will result in short term hardship in the hopes of alleviating pain down the road. Its also one in which the solution will require assistance at all levels of society. The standard Republican policy of screw the poor in favor of the middle class and the rich isn’t going to work, as the disease can spread from the poor to the rich.
