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.


my point Bill is in this crisis you are under the impression you have an extra bad leader. That's not true. 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.
