Because an outsider coming in would document the mess he's made.

And Putin likes the mess.

of anyone or anything around them, the very idea is absolutely terrifying. He won't put anyone who knows more than he does about the situation in charge of it because he is incapable of admitting someone else knows more than he does and he is incapable of letting go of micromanaging everything and fucking it up completely.

We are going to have to look to our state governors. The Federal government will be incompetent until that man is GONE.

would be an admission by Trump that he and his feckless son-in-law have failed in their response to handle this crisis.

And you know he will never do that. He lives off the illusion of competence.

The states need to ban together and form a state level replacement for FEMA.

It's a matter of survival in the face of abject failure of the Trump Presidency to do their jobs and lead the nation through this crisis.

The horrifying part of all this is that we have 7 more months to the election. What condition will this nation be in by November?

Pay attention to Trump when he says the economy is going down the drain if he is not reelected.

He is telling us what shape he will leave the country in.

Despite his excuses, Trump gets full credit for any bad in the economy just as he takes full credit for any good in the economy.

I have met many a corporate executives like that. They intentionally hire un-qualified, less intelligent people to surround themselves so the people aren't a threat to them. They really love it when the people he surrounds himself with fawn all over them and tell them they couldn't be doing a better job of running the company........

It is most nauseating.

If you were to hire some one like Trump and all his menagerie, and tell them their complete focus is to do everything they can to Destroy America....you could not have found any better crew. Sorta makes you wonder if Trump wasn't given that command by anyone we know!!!!!!

"Those outraged Hunter Biden got a board appt because of his last name, should be screaming right now. A guy, whose only crisis management experience is dealing with his father's prison term, and got his job because of his wife's last name, is running response our lives literally depend on."

The Bush/Katrina comparison to the current crisis is more than apt, but the Trump/COVID-19 casualties are dwarfing Katrina.

No national stay-at-home order yet from Trump, with more than 7,000 dead. No federal response in the face of this catastrophe.

She looks like the rest of us these days..... pissed off, scared, and stressed out.

Remember how she used to try to be so diplomatic? No more. She very eloquently calls out his lies and incompetence now.
