Trump's managerial incompetence has hobbled his presidency, set back his campaign and given him the worst self-inflicted October surprise in history.
Stephen Miller, President Trump’s senior advisor and speechwriter, became the latest member of the White House to test positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday.For months, Trump and most of his aides flouted public health guidelines. They staged campaign rallies and White House ceremonies, including one on Sept. 26 to introduce Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett that may have been a super-spreader event.
— and his failure to express any empathy for the more than 210,000 Americans who have died of COVID-19 in the last six months.It also showed the incompetence that has been one of Trump’s trademarks for the last four years. He launched a federal effort to coordinate medical supplies, then abandoned the effort and told governors they were on their own.He encouraged supporters to stage uprisings against Democratic governors who wanted lockdowns, and he praised Republican governors who reopened their economies too hastily.
His hospitalization for COVID-19 guaranteed that the crisis will remain Topic A until election day, now only a month away. Another priority, deregulation, has been hobbled by Trump’s failure to recruit qualified staff. The Trump administration has lost 84% of its regulation cases in court; most administrations lose 30%, according to a New York University study.“Many of his executive orders have been badly written, and that gets them overturned by the courts,” Elaine Kamarck, director of the Center for Effective Public Management at the nonpartisan Brookings Institution, told me.
