Here's the thing: Trump didn't cause the coronavirus. And any pandemic with this level of infectiousness and mortality rate is not the sort of thing that a government can probably ever a) be totally ready for and b) handle without a hitch. Mistakes are always made when government and/or the private sector is forced to confront such a massive challenge.The real danger is when the person at the top of an organisation is unwilling to own those errors.
Just look at how he handled a series of questions during the news conference regarding what responsibility he felt for a series of decisions made by his administration.Asked whether he took responsibility for disbanding the office of pandemics, Trump called it "a nasty question" before adding: "When you say 'me,' I didn't do it. We have a group of people [in the administration]. But I could perhaps ask Tony about that, because I don't know anything about it.
Of course, like all right wing rednecks, hey Scomo.
Hahaha. That’s because he’s NOT a good leader
is going full ABCaustralia. 🤣
Does he not look at what happened in Italy? China?
Can somebody tell me how reputable is that old dr.? He looks like a snake who eats whatever trump gives him. Hope he isn't a trump scare dee cat.
What a way to twist those words.. I suggest people actually watch the question and answer in its entirety and make your own mind up about it. That was definitely not what he was saying, and I thought he shut down the reporter nicely..
Sounds familiar here in Australia.

Trump said 'coronavirus was a hoax' but 'Americans now know it's serious' | Sky News AustraliaThe Perth USAsia Centre’s Gordon Flake says Donald Trump's announcement of a month-long travel ban from Europe to the US is 'concerning' as 'it sends the message that this is a foreign problem' and the United States can be protected by 'barriers'. \n\nOn Thursday, President Trump announced a month-long travel ban from Europe to the US in an attempt to confront the coronavirus crisis. \n\nThe US president said he was in charge of 'the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history'. \n\nSpeaking in a rare Oval Office appearance, President Trump said he would be 'marshalling the full power of the federal government' and respond to the threat “with great speed and professionalism”. \n\nMr Flake told Sky News, in the wake of the travel ban, the suspension of the rest of the NBA season and confirmation actor Tom Hanks had been infected with the virus, many Americans will now realise the severity of the disease.\n\n'I think the average American is going to wake up and realise this is far more serious than they've been led to believe,' he said. \n\n'Three weeks ago, the president was saying it's a hoax, two weeks ago he was saying there was only 15 cases'. \n\nTrump's announcement 'was intended to be an address assuring the American public,' however, ' I don't think it's likely to do so in the wave of other information that's coming down,' he said. \n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump Or does it simply mean that the US is trying to minimise the number of cases brought into the country which they'll then have to deal with alongside the cases already present? realDonaldTrump It’s started in China and he never said it was a hoax. realDonaldTrump Siege mentality, not healthy in the 21st century.
