Joe Biden: Trump is worst possible leader to deal with coronavirus outbreak

Joe Biden - Opinion contributor

The possibility of a pandemic is a challenge Donald Trump is unqualified to handle as president. I remember how Trump sought to stoke fear and stigma during the 2014 Ebola epidemic. He called President Barack Obama a “dope” and “incompetent” and railed against the evidence-based response our administration put in place — which quelled the crisis and saved hundreds of thousands of lives — in favor of reactionary travel bans that would only have made things worse. He advocated abandoning exposed and infected American citizens rather than bringing them home for treatment.

Trump’s demonstrated failures of judgment and his repeated rejection of science make him the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health challenge.

The outbreak of a new coronavirus, which has already infected more than 2,700 people and killed over 80 in China, will get worse before it gets better. Cases have been confirmed in a dozen countries, with at least five in the United States. There will likely be more.

The State Department has scheduled an evacuation flight and advised Americans against traveling to Hubei province, the epicenter of the outbreak, and is evacuating non-essential personnel.

Trump has blithely tweeted that “it will all work out well.” Yet the steps he has taken as president have only weakened our capacity to respond.

1. No truer words spoken.

2. Warren put out a comprehensive pandemic crisis plan in January,

that included a plan for the economic crisis she said was certain to occur because of it.

Why is this Diana Prince taking shots at Warren.

4. Biden doesn't usually waste words

"Trump is worst possible leader to deal with _____."

Joe coulda stopped right there and let everybody else fill in the blank.

5. Joe Biden Wrote That Just Five Days After First U.S. Case

Joe could see the writing on the wall and he was laying out what needed to be done. It was not a big secret, yet Trump refused to take the tried and true steps for responding to such an outbreak.
