Donald Trump is President... during a major national emergency. And sadly, things are going about as horribly badly as that sentence suggests -- his inaction, and actively damaging action, is killing Americans and will kill more.
And sadly, Trump doesn't understand that his inaction isn't just killing or hurting a lot of people -- he doesn't care about that -- but he does care about the stock market. And what he doesn't understand is that what the stock market actually wants is a plan to believe in and strong guidance from the government, something he provides none of.
It's tragic that this had to happen now and not a year from now after a Trump defeat, but hopefully we can get through this without things going as badly as they have in Italy, despite Trump's utter failure of action.
Meanwhile, the public panic is insane; toilet paper is probably sold out nationwide now, huh. Hope you have enough... strong governmental leadership could have averted insane panic buying like this, something not connected to actual need in most cases, but with THIS president? Forget it, panic buying it is.
I hope that Biden (our nominee now), Pelosi, and Democratic governors can come up with a good plan, regardless of what damage Trump does to the anti-virus (COVID-19) effort.
