It’s odd, to me. This focus on making sure we aren’t too mean to Trump in all this.
Of course he didn’t invent the virus. But we had ample warning and he refused to start testing and (along with Fox News) predicted it would be gone by now because he didn’t want anything to affect the single argument for his re-election — the economy.
There’s also the whole “I’m giving supplies to governors that kiss my ass” thing.
No other president would behave this way.
Seriously, if Obama or Hillary behaved this way, I guarantee the right would waste absolutely no time in holding them accountable. And rightly so! If a Democratic president behaved like this, was this inept in their response, they would absolutely deserve to be raked over the coals, too. And I would like to think, and hope, all of us on the left would be just as critical of them.
But no, for some reason, Trump can't ever possibly be held accountable for anything he says or does (or doesn't do). Somehow he's just totally untouchable and anyone who keeps trying to make him take responsibility for his actions is just being "mean", or just part of the evil deep state that wants to take him down.
It's insane.
There is also a generally interesting thing in that if you look at countries currently led by women, Germany, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Norway they have handled the situation with a lot more efficiency and clarity, locking down sooner and managing it better.
This honestly doesn't surprise me.
