From WSJopinion: It’s easy to separate the politicians who are fighting for their people from the politicians who are fighting for their self-interest, writes KimStrassel

Crises have a way of separating the leaderlike wheat from the opportunistic chaff. Coronavirus is the crisis of our time, and the political winnowing is something to behold.

opinion KimStrassel Anyone fighting for 'their' people *is* fighting for their self-interest. A real leader would be looking out for *the* people.

opinion KimStrassel How many will get COVID19? How many will be critical? How many will die? Assume everyone has been exposed. Issue is not cases, but number of critical care and deaths. Trying to avoid critical care and deaths, not cases. Trying to avoid cases is elusive.

opinion KimStrassel 'fighting for their people from the politicians who are fighting for their self-interest,' And what category would the narcissistic, megalomaniac sociopath be in? That individual who took time out from a briefing on a global pandemic to inform us he was 'Number 1 on Facebook!'

opinion KimStrassel Had to be an opinion piece by Kim because the mistruths,conjectures and outright errors are unbelievable.

opinion KimStrassel Selfless politicians don’t exist. If they did, they wouldn’t be politicians

opinion KimStrassel Sorry New Yorker you selected a parking dog instead of governor

opinion KimStrassel surprising coming from you, ....was it that your Fox orientation was being shown too obviously? that you had to at least acknowledge that 'little people' are now DYING?

opinion KimStrassel Outrageous. Navy Captain Crozier was relieved of his command of USS Roosevelt for blowing whistle on Coronavirus threat onboard. He put his sailors first, and Trump put his ass out. Shameful! Where is the outrage from all those “pro-military Republicans”?

opinion KimStrassel Thank God Kim Strassel OP-ED is behind a paywall.

opinion KimStrassel Since when WSJ became as far right as Fox? If it isn’t Trump calling it a “hoax” or “just flu” or “under control” and taking it seriously since day 1, there is a high chance we don’t need a stimulus bill or stay home order.

opinion KimStrassel Trump initially took Corona as a severe case of Flu, but has lately come to realize its severity and doing his best to manage it. You would expect that he would be humbled by his mistake of early inaction and stop attacking others, shifting blame or bragging. too much to ask?

opinion KimStrassel Complete bullshit!

opinion KimStrassel Indeed. That's the difference between selfish oligarchy marionette POTUS realDonaldTrump & true leader KremlinRussia_E who cares like a true great leader for his people.

opinion KimStrassel .wsj I am finally canceling my account. Opinion or not, any paper that will print that DJT has done ANYTHING in this crisis in the public interest rather than his own is not credible. His incompetence is stunning and is costing lives.

opinion KimStrassel djt cares more about being re-elected as potus than he cares about american lives lost/. WHAT? do you think?/.

opinion KimStrassel More irresponsible 'journalism' from a paper that should stick to covering Wall Street. Unfollow.

opinion KimStrassel 🙄 I guess we’ll just forget how the 🤡 cotus REPEATEDLY called this virus a “hoax” or saying “we’ve got it under control...it’ll disappear like magic.” How he marginalized it’s impact & accused it to be another democratic ploy. 🤦🏾‍♂️

opinion KimStrassel Takes a Fox expose for Trump to DPA 3M masks! Cuomo, Whitmer,DeWine and other Governors have been calling this out for weeks! How does that rate as leadership? Fox more powerful than state leadership! Go figure.

opinion KimStrassel Só não vê quem não quer!

opinion KimStrassel You DESERVE TO BE FIRED. You are so far off the facts. Donald Trump has screwed everything here.

opinion KimStrassel little tired of the daily frump rallies interrupting local news

opinion KimStrassel The total incompetency of the US President and this Admin is stunning.
