COVID-19 -- Is this tRump's "Reichstag fire"?

[lastlib]

Will he use this crisis to seize dictatorial powers? Can he be stopped if he does?

Asking for a friend.

1. please stop

2. Yes, there are still people who will give him the benefit of the doubt

... because they aren't facing his threat first hand

[SixString]

3. OMFG.

[Ilsa]

4. No, I think it will be his Katrina.

Sure, there will always be his 30-35% that stick with him no matter what. But reasonable people are starting to see the danger of having a narcissist in charge: that he puts his (political) needs above the nation's.

5. This

6. No, Maria was his Katrina.

[Ilsa]

8. Sadly, not enough Americans on the mainland "felt"

the absolute disaster of Maria. Only those of us who know Puerto Ricans or have other connections or watched Rachel Maddow realized the pain mf45 left for PR. I doubt trumpers and many democrats remember what happened (short memories).

This, however, sticks it to almost everyone as they see goods disappear from store shelves, hospitals cancel elective surgeries, scarcity of medical services and equipment, schools closing, elderly people isolating themselves, etc. The effects are not limited to an island or the media.

7. No. The Coronavirus *will be* his undoing.

It's extremely unfortunate that our country and the rest of the world will also suffer.
