Trump’s Oval Office failure

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/12/trumps-oval-office-failure/
"Unfortunately, the president’s delinquency in dealing with a worldwide pandemic and his utterly insufficient response, coupled with the blizzard of misinformation he and his lackeys are spreading, have real-world consequences. The blame for the health and economic crisis will lie largely with him. (Indeed, other democracies, contrary to Trump’s attacks, have acted with greater urgency and farsightedness than Trump to protect their people’s health.) Trump’s self-absorption and incompetence never fail to amaze. At a time when state and local governments are pleading for social distancing and banning large events, Trump refuses even to mention these important mitigation efforts. (He quietly canceled events, however, in Colorado, Wisconsin and Nevada.) To soothe his own ego, he quite literally is willing to make Americans sick."
