I loved this column -- we shouldn't be complaining about how Trump totally botched dealing with pandemic in the middle of the crisis. Ummm, when exactly would we talk about Trump's astounding incompetence? (thread)
A traveling salesman comes to this guy's house trying to sell something. He noticed that there is a big leak in the roof in the corner of the house. The salesman tells the guy his roof is leaking. The guy just goes "I know."
The salesman then says "why don't you fix it?" To which the man responds, "because it's raining."
The salesman then says "why don't you fix it when it's not raining?" To which the guy responds, "it don't leak when it's not raining."
If there is going to be any real debate about Trump's handling of the pandemic crisis, it is going to be now. When this is over, any discussion of Trump's failings will be treated as old news.
