The incontrovertible evidence that Trump has failed as a leader is the number of private individuals
and corporations that are using their own time and resources to fill in the gaping deficits of Trump's failed response to the coronavirus.
Today I'm reading how the Patriots are using their own plane to bring 1 million masks from China to the U.S.
GM was not able to get a definitive response from the White House to make ventilators, so they did it on their own to make them at cost. Meanwhile, Trump didn't spare a chance to trash GM, slapping them in the face with an unnecessary Defense Production Act, because he doesn't like them.
On Facebook we're encouraging high school friends who know how to sew to make masks that we will purchase from them, because we know we don't have a supply here in the U.S.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government has been aiding and supporting private corporations to ship our supplies out of this country.
Seriously, what the **** is going on?
They are bitching because Trump hasn't become a dictator...

23. The GOP loves that this is being privatized. They will use these stories as a way to justify "drowning government in a bathtub."
They want privatized health care, privatized post office, privatized education. Monetize the average person into the grave and plug in a new one to profit off of.

4. Imagine if Trump had been president on Dec 8, 1941
"Did you see my ratings last night? Best ever! Now gotta tee time!"
The whole idea of ratcheting up production and organizing the administration to take on this huge project, well... tee time awaits!

6. This exposes trump to his supporters
By hurting them in blue states, and by hurting them in their red states by failing to protect, and refusal to help. His causing people to die, both democrats and republicans, trump is exposing himself as a traitor, and his intent to hurt Americans and our country now, while he sends supplies to other countries that are not ally's first, depleting our supplies while Dr's and nurse's die from it here.
thats why his approval ratings are falling... oh, wait...

8. He is killing us and destroying our economy for his own profit and political survival.
He knows he goes to jail if not elected and everything he's doing is to ensure that doesn't happen. Wonder if PUtin is paying a bonus for every 10,000 deaths because he sure is doing almost everything humanly possible to increase deaths and long term disruption. I really think he wants a major crisis to occur near election time so he will cancel the elections - in the name of National Security. Wouldn't be surprised if Barr hasn't hired people to riot and disrupt things since he wanted that law put in place so badly that during any national emergency, anyone could be jailed indefinitely for any reason including illegal gathering on the streets or blocking traffic Thank God even Moscow Mitch said no to Barr and drumpf and PUtin on this.

14. The media should be exposing every lie in big bold letters. Putting a "Fact Checking Trumps Update"
article along with 30 other stories just becomes noise.
The NY Times releases a scathing story on the delay in testing its lead was:
The Lost Month: How a Failure to Test Blinded the U.S. to Covid-19
Aggressive screening might have helped contain the coronavirus in the United States. But technical flaws, regulatory hurdles and lapses in leadership let it spread undetected for weeks.
Lapses in leadership!?!?!? WTF - tRump LIED to us! He LIED and OBSTRUCTED and now many more people are going to die because of it. This wasn't a case of "there were several possible outcomes and we picked the wrong one". There was only one realistic outcome but tRump chooses to ignore reality and LIED to us to try to keep the Dow from tanking.
Who called this racist in January, February, March, and now still, in April?

20. two things
The exposure of Don as a faker / con man/failure.
The forced restructuring of societal communication - that is, with the net, we are all essentially equal and equally reachable. So it is much easier for one person to start a nationwide movement and bypass politicians to get things done. In a sense, we have Don to thank for this- his failure to lead made everyone find ways around him, Maybe this will wrest control of the government away from big money, and return it to "the people", as Lincoln described.

25. "Not able to get a definitive response from the White House"
WTeverlovingF?
Same as their treatment of the Pentagon, various governors, Puerto Rico during and after Maria, add your own White House failures here.
WHY are they doing so little, and doing that badly?
I tend to view everyone around Trump, and Trump and family, as not too bright and in over their heads, but there are countless civil servants who can hold their hands and lead them in the right direction.
Since that’s not happening, what is? What’s their agenda that’s keeping them from doing what anyone can see should be done?
