Any one of the previous American presidents in modern times would have already given a prime time address to the nation in which truths would have been told and in which a plan for going forward would have been explained.
We are without leadership. We have been without leadership for three years.
This is a fact equally as frightening as the virus itself.

(45,433 posts)over the cold callous disregard we are currently getting. Trump and his administration don't want the truth coming out because it makes them look incompetent and useless. America needs new leadership.
When the stock market and jobs and whatever were up, it's easy to miss. But when our country is in a crisis, then more voters notice that the people in charge have no idea what they're doing and can't handle it.

(15,643 posts)situation and Wall Street reaction we now have. These situations are both of tRumps own making as well as all of those serving in appointed federal positions under him. We are living with the chaos created by the vast incompetence of our pResident. We wouldnt be dealing with or experiencing either the Coronavirus scare or Wall Street collapse if we had a reasonably normal President. We dont. Instead, we have a crooked incompetent who surrounds himself with other crooks and total incompetents so that he can feel like hes in charge. This was totally avoidable. It was created by him personally, by his sheer incompetence. I so hope he ultimately pays for it.

(8,726 posts)In the Saudie/Russia oil war. Both his LOVERS. Or, are they uniting to crash us further by making our oil worthless. Would be a great way to destroy our economy, they already destroyed our democracy. We are down on the mat, the ref is counting and is up to number 8. Our enemies threw a massive upper cut, set up the many chins of trump and then landed a POWERFUL RIGHT. We are nearly out for the count. A DOWN goes Frazier, I MEAN MURKKKa. MAGA. All the winning, Be Best. Least the trumps are fine, playing golf and tennis with our cash, and we pay for the courts. Like their new shirts say, "In God We Trump"? God be blessin us!

(23,097 posts)There's a cure used widely around the world, but no, drumpf wouldn't allow that - no profit. So CDC started to "develop" their own test, using his preferred vendor I'm positive, ensuring profits for him. So we are 2 months behind the curve due to drumpfs' killing greed and concern for no one or nothing but himself (Russia is now part of "him" because they own him). He's so stupid and incurious, I wonder if this was done to kill us or just out of greed and ignorance? With him it could be either or even both.

He is not only a liar but is also a blooming coward.
