Trump must be held to account over coronavirus

He blames his failures on the “Fake News” media and the Democrats. He blames Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He blames President Obama.

The reality is that Trump’s failure to protect Americans from the virus is very hard to spin.

Last week a Hill/HarrisX poll found 53 percent of registered voters disapproving of the president’s response to the virus. And 58 percent of independent voters also disapproved.

In a Kaiser Family Foundation poll, 55 percent of Americans are either “somewhat” or “very” concerned there will be a widespread outbreak of the coronavirus.

Keep in mind these numbers are likely to go up because Trump’s base among Republicans is currently the least concerned about the impact of the virus. Trump told them not to worry.
