Ok, but the "how" is a separate question.

Ok, but the "how" is a separate question.

America isn't leading in defeating COVID-19. That's ROK/NZ/Australia/Taiwan/Japan/Canada/Germany/China. President Trump has to own our failures here. That's what leaders do. The USA is far behind other nations in response efforts.

We're ranked 12 in the world in most deaths per capita.

Coronavirus Cases:

Maybe you're happy with that leadership performance — or content to judge the president based on his performance pre-pandemic. I’m not, because that performance is now irrelevant.

The President may not be able to wave a wand to fix this, but the buck stops at the top. He could at least have used his position to spread a message of caution and unity and responsibility.

He didn't, and he won’t. He won't even wear a mask — in September. He brings big groups together for rallies and conventions, without precautions. He talks about injecting bleach. He sows chaos and division on Twitter. He sidelines scientists. He says the alternative would be "worse," when we have almost 200,000 innocent people dead — and millions more infected with a disease with the potential for chronic sequelae.

Give me a break. This isn’t how a competent leader behaves.
