His sieve-like "ban" on travel from China was ineffectual, letting thousands of travelers into the country.

Note, though, that he concedes that HHS Secretary Azar told him nothing until later. Why does Azar still have a job, thousands of deaths later?

anyone really criticizing the China Ban. We just said it wasn't going to work. It didn't. Viruses don't need passports.

some history on it:

NYT: Nearly 40k flew to U.S. from China after Trump's coronavirus travel ban
https://www.axios.com/coronavirus-trump-china-travel-ban-45a2da12-8063-4ad9-ba28-61cdeb1ce0b3.html

Trump's pea brain can't seem to contemplate this:
His Jan 31 China ban didn't stop the US from leading the world in infections and deaths. In the coming weeks, that "lead" is going to become overwhelming. The response of his administration has been inadequate and as a result, killed a lot of Americans.

Obituaries cannot be brushed off as "fake news"

Be a leader, that's what you are supposed to do! Or resign. Your choice.

What will be in his Presidential Library? My thought is it will be filled with rolls of toilet paper.

He doesn’t read. He can’t absorb complex information. From my perspective all he can do is lie, call people names, eat McDonalds and shit.

20. Exactly. Do our health care workers on the front line even have protective gear?

Do our patients have access to testing and best possible treatment?

If not, Mr. President, you shouldn't even be sleeping at night. You should be hustling around putting this thing together.
