A Pandemic Exposed Trump’s Extreme Ignorance

Trump

Trump’s failures are astronomical in just over three years. Unless you are a member of his cult and unable to think for yourself, the coronavirus has revealed his extreme ignorance and how unqualified he is to be the leader of the United States of America.

The man-child was totally unprepared about what to do when a major crisis faced our nation and his only reaction was to claim that “it will go away,” and later a lie: “we are prepared to take care of the situation.” Trump waited over two months to take any action to slow the spread of a life-threatening virus.

Today the buffoon in the White House is under attack from both Democrats and Republicans for his ignorance about the science of this health emergency. Because he denies science, his initial claims were obviously based on conversations between men who lived in a fantasy world. The medical community was appalled when he suggested that a drug used to treat malaria would end the spread of the virus.

However, that display of ignorance was trivial compared to his latest assumption that “injecting Americans with disinfectants would destroy the coronavirus.”

Not only was he laughed at by the medical community and Democrats, he received criticism from Neil Cavuto, and Brett Baier on his television network, Fox Noise.

Today, other right-wing politicians are joining in the laughter at the orange man-child’s expense.

Maryland’s Governor is Republican Larry Hogan. Today he released a statement which appeared to be thankful that Trump has ended his daily “coronavirus briefings.”

Hogan, a Republican and chairman of the National Governors Association, said on ABC News’ “This Week” that from the beginning of the outbreak, it’s been important that officials communicate “very clearly on the facts because people listen to these press conferences.”

“They listen when the governor holds a press conference, and they certainly pay attention when the president of the United States is standing there giving a press conference about something as serious as this worldwide pandemic,” Hogan said. “And I think when misinformation comes out or you just say something that pops in your head, it does send a wrong message.”

Trump had been using his “briefings” as  campaign rallies for his ignorant supporters. Little information about the virus was offered to the American people. And what was offered often involved his opinions without any scientific fact.

Throughout the last 39 months Trump has proven that he is a poorly educated man who has little knowledge about anything. History proves that he has failed at every endeavor in his pitiful life, and he continues to fail the American people.

DJT is personally responsible for thousands of lives lost in the battle with this pandemic. If he had acted in a similar fashion to his predecessors, action would have begun in January to stem the virus. He has failed our nation once again and this time lives have been lost. He must be removed from office by any and all means possible. For me, Trump will be remembered as the “Coronavirus Assassin.”
