Nobody expects him to give definitive answers. But even a minimally competent president could calm anxieties by explaining what we know, what we don’t know and what we should do about the virus.

I have yet to see one of his officials, never mind him say that we should look at all the means of control we have, what they are and why we should use them.

Instead he says the exact opposite and curbs their speech.

How do you test, when testing kits don't exist? Maybe Obama could do it by waving his hand, but Trump is merely a flawed human, not a deity like Obama was.

"let today (my inauguration) be the day we remember as the day that the waters stopped rising and the planet began to heal..." Those aren't the words of a narcissist, no sir!
