In some ways, underscoring Trump’s unfitness for office in general and for this virus in particular conjures up worries that this merely restates the obvious. The choir has been so thoroughly preached to that talking about Trump’s ineptitude is akin to saying When it rains, things get wet.
Yet amazingly this notion has not reached everyone in the country. Yesterday, I was sitting next to a table of five men who were all agreeing that the media and the Dems are over blowing the virus threat to make Trump look bad. To them, Trump’s fitness is not in question.They have concluded that this whole mess somehow is the media’s and those darn Dem’s fault.
Well, for all the Americans who have kept their logic caps on throughout the debacle of Trump’s tenure, this article from The New York Times (NYT) President Trump is Unfit for this Crisis. Period. validates that this pandemic is another in a series of issues for which Trump has been ill equipped. The bad news is that COVID 19 likely is the one of the greatest magnitude.
Writer Jennifer Senior has collected much of her evidence of Trump’s missteps from his statements. She lets his own words indict him. His narcissistic needs overwhelm and distort all of the other words which come out of his mouth.. ..
In the White House press conference yesterday, incredibly both he and Pence led off with statements about the stock market. Their lead story becomes Exhibit A in how they still are screwing up their priorities. Did they think they were speaking to only Americans who owned stocks? They were speaking to ALL Americans. Our very own Abbot and Costello heading the Executive Branch, don’t even understand that the LEAD story should have been COVID 19.
Here is a t-shirt that would be well worth creating and selling. “Keep calm and trust Dr. Fauci”Underneath in smaller print – Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. .And then follow it up with support for the following idea sent in by CJ from Westchester County as a letter to the editor to the NYT:
“The time has come to ignore Trump. Don’t cover him. Don’t ask him questions. Don’t let him be part of the story. There’s a job to be done. So ignore the toddler in the middle of the room saying Me, Me, Me and talk to the people who matter.” Amen.
