We are facing a pandemic about which US President Donald Trump appears incapable of telling the truth assuming he even knows it and without quick action, a lot of people are going to get sick. Some of them will die. The presidents incoherence has reached a level that is a hazard to public health. The best thing Trump can do for the country, to speed its response to the novel coronavirus, is resign and let someone capable take over.The new coronavirus is spreading through the US, where several states have made emergency declarations; the World Health Organization has declared it a pandemic. Here are the basics:
Is that Mike Pence? At this point, Im willing to find out.
Trump wont, of course. But as the markets plunge and people become increasingly frightened, there is a helpful course of action he could take immediately: stop talking. Trump should not open his mouth he makes things worse every time he does it.
Heres where were at, as of yesterday: the president accidentally started a trade war with Europe during a televised address about the novel coronavirus pandemic, which was then walked back with a tweet. He was trying to announce a travel ban.
These prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, he said in his speech. An hour later, he tweeted: Very important for all countries & businesses to know that trade will in no way be affected by the 30-day restriction on travel from Europe. The restriction stops people not goods.

Thats just over a month away- a lot can and will unfold, likely tragically, and the markets will continue to react to uncertainty and incompetence.

Fox News still holding on to: President Trump has this?
Can't fathom any of the usual RWNJ exploiters will drop the act, either?
GOOD LUCK!
