Hell, on Feb 10th Trump was saying it was nothing to worry about and it would "miraculously disappear" by April.

The Federal Government employees 2 million people and tens of thousands of contractors. Only one employee was impeached and then acquitted.

Markets are global. The world is not reacting to US media. This is the cusp of a global recession.

Trump did not cause the virus. Trump can’t control the virus. Trump can’t cure the virus. And he most certainly, does not control global markets. No POTUS does.

The first confirmed case in the US occurred on 1/19, nearly 2 months ago. This was the same date the first case was diagnosed in South Korea.

Trump down played the virus and called criticism of the Admin’s lack of response a hoax. The likes of Limbaugh and Hannity blew it off as the common cold. In the meantime, South Korea got busy manufacturing tests and testing. Trump resisted testing because if you don’t test you don’t know. If you don’t know you can sustain the narrative that the virus is magically under control.

It was not until global markets reacted that Trump got real. Despite this, Trump’s messaging continued to be inconsistent with the experts on Pence’s team. This team seems to be doing the best they can with the hand they have been dealt, which includes Trump’s inconsistent messaging.

And here we are, 7+ weeks after the first US diagnosis and MDs can’t test their patients when they believe it is necessary and ERs are being overwhelmed by patients referred for testing.

The Coronavirus is an equal opportunity infector and does not distinguish politics.

Do you think Trump should be lauded about his China travel ban when he has done nothing but botch the rest? I'm sorry, but Trump has never been "on" this.

So basically you are saying Trump can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
Presidents always have to deal with multiple situations at the same time so you are making up a excuse that he couldn't focus on the Corona Virus because he was being Impeached?
Last week Trump said the virus was going away so obviously it wasn't a concern to him despite the evidence that he dismissed to the contrary.
But hey you guys are always making excuses for his incompetence so knock yourself out.
