Boston Globe Editorial Board: tRump Has "Blood on His Hands" Over Coronavirus

[ffr]

The Boston Globe‘s editorial board condemned President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying the “profound impact” of the virus on the American way of life was “preventable.”

“The months the administration wasted with prevarication about the threat and its subsequent missteps will amount to exponentially more COVID-19 cases than were necessary,” the editorial board added. “In other words, the president has blood on his hands.”

“It’s not too much for Americans to ask of their leaders that they be competent and informed when responding to a crisis of historic proportions. Instead, they have a White House marred by corruption and incompetence, whose mixed messages roil the markets and rock their sense of security. Instead of compassion and clarity, the president, in his near-daily addresses to the nation, embodies callousness, self-concern, and a lack of compass. Dangling unverified cures and possible quarantines in front of the public like reality TV cliffhangers, he unsettles rather than reassures. The pandemic reveals that the worst features of this presidency are not merely late-night comedy fodder; they come at the cost of lives, livelihoods, and our collective psyche.”

At least 4,066 people have died in the United States since the first death was recorded on February 29. - PoliticusUSA

Not just tRump, but also his main accomplice, Moscow Mitch McConnell, who is still going on the offensive, skirting all blame for allowing this crisis to fester into what it is. AND STILL, NEITHER ARE ACTING to help Americans.

Unreal!

Thank you Boston Globe for speaking truth!
