      Trump's decision in early April to push for a quick reopening of the economy & wash his hands of Covid will rank as one of the biggest blunders of an American president, up there with Hoover's handling of economy, LBJ/Nixon's Vietnam policy & Bush Jr.'s war on terror.pic.twitter.com/9x8xHdntyn

      This Times piece is very convincing about the roots of Trump's world-historical failure on Covid. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/18/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-response-failure-leadership.html?referringSource=articleShare …

      It's difficult to wrap one's mind around the scale of Trump's failure on covid -- a world-historical disaster whose ripple effects will be felt for decades.

          Who knew electing a bankrupt grifter who couldn’t manage a piss-up in a brewery wouldn’t go well.

          You mean our children that this president wants to send to school in a pandemic that he’s doing nothing to contain. One shouldn’t have to die to save the other. A real president and decent people would know that. If my elderly family has 5 years left, they’ve earned to live it.

          Dr Brix is also going to go down as a colossal failure, and a political hack.

          If nothing else, it will be the forever* example of how not to manage a global disaster for future leaders to learn from. *Here's hoping there is never a worse example.

          What is the political motivation for the failure? Obvious with something like climate science and oil/gas lobby, but where is the political motivation that caused the right to make this into another culture war?

          Tribalism and distaste for the smart kids in the class.
