The Republican National Convention put President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic front and center on opening night, depicting him as a decisive leader who marshaled resources, forcefully responded to the deadly threat, and “moved mountains” to save American lives.
What it didn’t say is that the United States, with more than 5 million cases and more than 175,000 dead, with schools and businesses still closed and millions unemployed, has had one of the worst records on the pandemic in the world. Or that Trump repeatedly downplayed the virus threat until it had already spread throughout the country unchecked, and that to this day he inexplicably asserts that it will one day magically disappear.
But numerous public health experts, including top scientists whom Trump has diminished or contradicted, have said that the president failed, tragically, to mount a coordinated national response using the basic building blocks of public health, including a widespread, efficient and accessible national testing program.
When Republicans lie, Politico is there. When Democrats lie, Politico is taking a washroom break, and anyway, it's wasn't a lie because only Republicans really lie.
ReplyDeleteThe US failure to handle the virus shares blame at all levels of government. The NYC mayor and NY state government made huge errors but only Trump's seem to count. He lacked a national plan. First of all, a diverse nation like the US can't have a single national plan. What works for downtown New York would be completely useless for rural Iowa. Second, imagine he'd come up with a national plan. The same people blasting him for not would then turn around and scream that he was infringing on the power of local governors.
please provide a list!
