This is competence?
President Donald Trump repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus and ignored expert information, including what caused Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, to sell off stock.
His trail of bad judgment goes back to his multiple bankruptcies and fraud at Trump University, for which he paid a $25 million fine.
Anything he dislikes he labels fake news. He called the press the enemy of the people. Yet he has made 16,241 false or misleading claims during his first three years in office, according to The Washington Post's Fact Checker.
On his watch, the United States leads the world in virus-related deaths, has big shortages in needed equipment and has an economy in shambles.
It is amazing that anyone believes anything he says or thinks he is competent.
