Trump's Biggest Mistake

The problem is, his attempt to recover what he lost is going to get the rest of us killed.

He almost succeeded first term.

His failures during the covid outbreak are not talked about enough. I remember in late February 2020, I had a 2 week Mediterranean cruise booked, starting 2/29/20. Prior to departure date, I was concerned about the reports of covid that were popping up. I had been in that situation once before in 2009 when the swine flu was running rampant. The difference is, President Obama and his team made the decision early on to take that flu seriously and, as a result, my booked Cruise was delayed and I didn't have to worry about losing my money.

Fast forward to 2020, things were handled a lot differently. Despite covid being on the march, trump's team did absolutely nothing. By not weighing in on the situation, MSC Cruise lines and the other cruise lines decided to stay quiet too. After all, they didn't want to lose any money.

So we had to decide whether we were going to lose tens of thousands of dollars or potentially risk being caught up in an international pandemic.

That failure to lead definitely contributed to covid becoming a worldwide pandemic and to the death toll.
