Donald Trump's incompetent handling of the coronavirus pandemic is causing a worsening of the economy. His failed leadership is causing crises after crises in communities and individuals who are being affected in shocking ways. In fact, the second pandemic after the vector virus is the incompetence coming out of the mouth of Donald Trump. First Trump said the virus was a hoax, then he labeled the Governor of Washington State as a "snake" because he dared to challenge the Trumponian denial about the seriousness of the caronavirus.

Many Americans don't know the facts about the enormous threat of the dangerous caronavirus and how much worse Trump has made the pandemic through his bungled response.  Early in his administration, Trump literally shut down the office responsible for responding to pandemics, then falsely claimed that he did not know the office was eliminated.  If Trump had been prepared and taken swift action during the first crucial days this epedimic could have been contained. He was warned about threats of pandemics the day he was inaugurated , ingored this unfolding crises, failed to secure tests, and intentionally downplayed the level of infections.  

Apparently, he believed that this impending crisis would interfere with his re-election campaign.

Moreover, Donald Trump has defied the reality of virology by stating how warmer weather the higher temperatures will somehow make the coronavirus "disappear" "like a miracle". In fact, there were warnings for months that this was coming.  This is not the usual Trump circus of lies and insults.  This is a public health disaster in part created by Trump himself.
