    Jeet Heer Retweeted Nate Cohn

    Smart thread -- I agree that the overwhelming political fact is that a strong majority of Americans think (rightly!) Trump has botched Covid. That's unlikely to change soon, if ever.https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1281567483493847043 …

    Sometimes, American politics is complicated. Right now, it's extremely simple: the public has reached a harshly negative judgment of the president's handling of the most important issue facing the country, and the issue is so paramount that there's little room to wiggle out of it

        if he hadn't totally - and criminally - messed up, he'd be on his way to re-election.

        Yeah Cuomo honestly fucked up pretty bad too, but he gave sober and reassuring speeches and it worked.

        It won’t change but it may decrease in salience if a vaccine is found and rapidly and effectively deployed. Unfortunately for both Trump and literally everyone else, this is unlikely.

        Or it could be we've all underestimated the genius of "preserve monuments to slavery" as a campaign strategy. Never been tried, how would we know?

        He hasn’t just “botched it”. He has consistently undermined efforts to get it under control. He acts officially and unofficially as an accelerant. He actively makes it worse.

        The mistake a lot of contrarians are making when predicting a Trump rebound is the assumption that Trump can respond like a normal human being. He is and has always been mentally unfit. The light bulb won't come on because there is no light bulb.

        Saying Trump botched Covid assumes getting the plague under control was on the agenda. As far as I can see the agenda is full of profiteering protected by authoritarianism. Doing anything for the populace except stoking fear and anger to be directed at minorities is not
