Trump Admin Seems to Think Fighting Democrats is More Important than Fighting Coronavirus

By

We learned this week that the coronavirus is here to stay, that it will sweep through the country, but no one knows the extent of suffering it will cause. Trump has been thrown into a panic, hiring a new coronavirus czar after firing the last epidemic czar in 2018, blasting the stock exchange, his own officials, the media and Democrats for daring to bring on an epidemic in his election year. The administration is gathering nearly everyone from the cabinet and various agencies to meet this weekend to …

Go to CPAC and speak out as partisans against the ungodly Democrats. That is not supposed to happen in normal times, never mind during the opening stage of an epidemic.

For example, just like the attorney general or secretary of defense are not supposed to be overly partisan positions, neither is any other department or agency head. In adult administrations those people are there to run the government, not beat-up Democrats.

That was before Trump:

Go on:

The Department of Education and EPA have political agendas against the Democrats?

Why yes, under the Trump administration they certainly do.

So, while the country absorbs the fact that the Coronavirus is a real thing that we really are going to have to deal with, and all the attendant unknowns that go along with having to do so, an executive summit might not be such a bad idea – if it were to be held at the White House and focus on an actual objective problem, and not at CPAC swatting at the Democrats, again.

So much for “leadership” and taking bold action at nipping something in the bud with a real plan that both the public and Wall Street can trust. The “all hands on deck” approach is only used to fight Democrats, not pandemics.

Peace, y’all
