re: #244 Hecuba’s daughter

It’s impossible to know how this would have played out with a competent President…

could hardly be worse, although a lot of RW talking points will attempt to “prove” just that.

Trump had a very simple equation in his mind: “Strong economy = reelection”

He could only see Corona as a threat to the economy, and therefore a threat to his chances, rather than as a chance to accept that the economy was gonna take a hit, but to nonetheless demonstrate leadership and rally the nation to his side.

But he has no concept of leadership beyond giving orders to his circle of lackeys.
