GOOD RIDDANCE: “Day after day after day he brazenly denied reality in an effort to blunt the economic and political harm he faced. But Trump is in the process of discovering that he can’t tweet his way out of a pandemic.”-@peter_wehner @TheAtlantic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
CON MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN: “Americans have seen the con man behind the curtain. The president*, enraged for having been unmasked, will become more desperate, embittered, unhinged. He knows nothing will be the same. His administration*..will be only a hollow shell.”-@Peter_Wehner
AVALANCHE OF LIES: “The avalanche of false information..has been most alarming of all..There is no one who can do to coronavirus what Barr did to the Mueller report: lie about it and get away with it..The president’s misinformation and mendacity..are head-snapping.”-@Peter_Wehner
😔“Schadenfreude is never a good look..That said, the president and his administration are responsible for grave, costly errors: epic manufacturing failures in diagnostic testing, decision to test too few people, delay in expanding testing to labs outside the CDC.”-@Peter_Wehner
🙈“These mistakes left us blind and badly behind the curve, and, for a few crucial weeks, they created a false sense of security. We now know the coronavirus silently spread for several weeks, without us being aware of it and while we were doing nothing to stop it.”-@Peter_Wehner
MASSIVE FAILURE: “Containment and mitigation efforts could have significantly slowed its spread at an early, critical point, but we frittered away that opportunity.. this is a massive failure in leadership..Trump is shrinking before our eyes..The Trump presidency is over.”-PW
INCAPABLE OF HONESTY: “Trump is such a habitual liar that he is incapable of being honest, even when being honest would serve his interests..His disordered personality makes him as ill-equipped to deal with a crisis as any president has ever been.”-@Peter_Wehner @TheAtlantic
