ed, when the President contradicts every qualified authority and asserts his whim of the moment, it is not leadership. It is incompetence in action. All he can see is his endangered re-election. The economy was to be his salvation, and it's the focus of his concern, not your health. I'll repeat it again Bill...... Mid January the head of the WHO is proclaiming no evidence of human to human spread of Covid19. Feb 1 Trump closes the border with China and he's called a racist who is over-reacting. In hindsight he should have done it Jan 1. The MSM touts the small and wildly successful chloroquine test in France for three day, until Trump does. Then Trump is an idiot. I mean, come on now. And if you think the health carnage that will result from laying waste to the world economy won't be on par with the death toll from Covid19, well, you don't don't understand how the world works.

CB, I can't be too worried about the economy or my own portfolio when we're weeks behind in dealing with the pandemic. If you and I, our families, survive the disease, then we can begin to worry about picking up the pieces. I'm perfectly willing to credit Trump with the early China closure. It's the only thing he got right so far. I'm not trying to defend criticism of that impulse. That the WHO got something seriously wrong is no defense of Trump's ineptitude. In a crisis he is no leader; he's an albatross around the neck of people who ought to be listened to and followed. He has no expertise himself, and in his narcissism is hostile to everyone who does.

There has been a failure of leadership at the national level in just about every first worlkd country. In some ways it's stunning and in other ways it's not. Don't feel special. Idiots abound. Trudeau has Trump beat hands down. Among other things he sent our governmental emergency supply of (Chinese made) face masks to China in February. China hadn't even appealed for help...he just sent the stuff. Virtue signalling of the highest order and now we are running out. https://i.postimg.cc/25jMTDb0/575-FC745-3-E7-B-409-F-834-D-3-A9-CD60983-F6.jpg

CB, I can't judge the effectiveness of Trudeau. I don't pay attention to him. Trump I watch step by step. He is utterly clueless. He contradicts his own specialists at every turn. He doesn't have any knowledge applicable to the crisis ,and yet he can't stand not to appear in control. Let me say again, this is not partisan. My hatred of Trump is aside from my dismay at his handling the present crisis. His turning the management of it over to Pence is a cruel and unusual joke. It's Fester and Carbunkle to the rescue.

Bill, you just admitted to hatred of Trump. Do you really understand the meaning of the word hatred?

Stan, Yes, I think I do. In this case it means that I see a man with no principles, no moral compass, no information, no wisdom, no compassion, no empathy who is pretending to be a leader, a man who couldn't manage a garage sale. Never mind his ridiculous hair. Look at the turnover rate in the WH. No one with any ability or ethics can survive in that swamp. He can't stand competence b ecause he has none himself. I hate Trump because I see the daily damage he does to the country. Evangelicals worship him because, like him, they reject science and reason in favor of a tooth ferry version of Christianity. Hatred is a dangerous state of mind, but there are situations where no other response is available that does not make you an accomplice.
