Couldn't agree more. Remember when he met with Obama at the White House shortly after the election? LOL. He looked scared to death. He knew damn well he was in over his head.
And he's never had the capacity to keep his cool the way Obama almost always did.
Many didn't like Bush but he really stepped up after 911. He was such a calming influence which our country desperately needed.
Bush was awesome at talking. He was great. I was at the 2001 National Boy Scout Jamboree and he had a good inspiring speech, if even it was via satellite due to a severe storm the day of the stage show he was supposed to be at. I started liking Bush less and less as 2004 came and turned into 2005. That said, had I been born before November 2004, I would have voted him over Kerry. Compare that to Trump at the 2017 National Boy Scout Jamboree and it is night and day. It became a Trp rally with a lot if inappropriate for Boy Scouts as an organization comments.
Ridiculous. The question was simply, "what do you say to Americans who are scared." This was Trump's time to shine, to project that calm demeanor you talk about. Trump did exactly the opposite -- he became rattled, and unglued. Later on in the press conference, Pence was asked exactly the same question and Pence nailed it. In a calm voice he explained that were on it and was optimistic for the future. So if it was such a set-up and nasty question, then why was Pence able to supply a decent answer? The answer is because Trump is unglued, and unfit. He's in the way, and needs to go.
Trump has lied from the beginning about the virus, or just been plain stupid. On every news conference in Jan and Feb he claimed the virus was not problem and under control. Then he just recently reversed direction and admitted it was a pandemic, but claimed he knew it all along. He's mentally ill, this man, and so are his followers.

It's ok for both of you to disagree with my opinion. On the other hand, I still hear my husband in the back of my head staying calm, saying we are going to be fine, and everything is under control. He's matter of fact and honestly, my husband was the same way. Part of that is what is helping me from freaking out.
Trump may be rough around the edges but I think he is doing pretty damn good with this. This is also with me being upset toward his administration for something completely off subject.
He has also done a heck of a job trying to keep the media on the subject that he had been talking about the entire news conference with the crappy media trying to bring it to something else.

Trump lies all the time and the media call him out on it. We need the truth, not lies Trump tells.
my wife can't stand Trump but thinks he's doing a good job with CV. He'll ride that into a second term. Kinda puts that failed impeachment into perspective.
She surely loves Trump for saying CORVID-19 was under tremendous control and would probably be gone in April when the weather warms up.
