You know how Nero fiddled while Rome burned? That's how much Trump cares about the lack of COVID

The day before returning to the White House for New Year’s Eve, Donald Trump played golf at his country club in West Palm Beach. He was there from 9:26 a.m. to 2:33 p.m., a leisurely round.

Meanwhile thousands of his fellow Floridians in the same high-risk bracket spent many of those hours strangling their phones, unsuccessfully trying to get an appointment for the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Others lined up early at inoculation sites, only to be sent home after supplies soon ran out.

“Operation Warp Speed” currently looks more like “Operation WTF.” The big rollout is rocky and slow throughout the country, but the only surprise is that people are actually surprised.

Given the hapless void of federal leadership, think of how many things would have to go right in order to vaccinate an entire population — or even, say, 70 percent — of 331 million people. The supply-chain logistics are mind blowing, the costs astronomical.

1. Trump diddled...

...while Americans died by the hundreds of thousands.

2. According to some contemporaries, Nero helped fight the fire

Awful though he was, he should be lumped with Trump the lump.
