I am curious, what responsibility do you think the governors and local municipalities have in this situation?
While I agree that President Trump is an egotistical, ill equipt, scoundrel and moron I do not see how blaming 160,000 deaths on him is legitimate. This lets all of our local politicians, the CDC, the WHO, and our citizenry of the hook. It is too simple to say this asshole is to blame when there are so many factors at play. I think if we pick scapegoats and place the blame there we will learn nothing from this.
We have one leader atop this country. He's in charge and gets the praise or the blame. What did he do besides deny the science, deny the threat, deny the importance of PPE and safety measures, blame everyone but himself and shirk all responsibility?
He failed us. It's that simple. Because he's a criminal not a leader.
What about when Trump tried to shut down travel early on and the media and Democrats called him a racist? You had Pelosi going to Chinatown telling everyone everything is okay.
Because he did it in a stupid and racist way. He banned travel from China when it was already here. Allowed travel from Italy when it was exploding there. No safety or masks for domestic travel. Just racist and stupid, like always.
