re: #144 Decatur Deb

There was a magic moment when he could have endorsed masks, distancing, and shutdowns all to the same effect. (That’s where Nate Silver was inartfully heading yesterday.) Trump didn’t have it in him.

Asshole is as asshole does.

A true President can rally the nation around him even in times of crisis. But that calls for leadership, which he does not have, just bullying and berating.

So he tried to deny and deflect from the crisis while simultaneously playing it down and blaming everyone and anyone else he could for the undeniable results.
