I'm wondering if Trump is gonna be held accountable by voters for the sub-par response to the Corona virus.

His downplaying of the seriousness of the situation has definitely caused some damage.

How serious is it? You know how many people die from heart disease yearly? What is dangerous is the overreaction causing the economy to slowly fall apart

good one. as if they would ever hold him accountable for anything. trump could walk into their homes, kill their children / mothers / girlfriends, and they would find a way to blame it on the media and dems. just look at the trumpets posting in this forum: they are rationalising his blatant lies, engaging in crazy whataboutisms to deflect from the fact that the emperor proudly defunded america's response to pandemics, and defending his continued science denial. everything is a partisan issue to them.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday declared a national emergency over the fast-spreading coronavirus, opening the door to providing what he said was about $50 billion in federal aid to fight the disease.

Trump made the announcement at a Rose Garden news conference.

Trump said he was declaring the national emergency in order to “unleash the full power of the federal government.” He urged every state to set up emergency centers to help fight the virus.

Pressure has been mounting for Trump to declare an infectious disease emergency under the 1988 law that would allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide disaster funds to state and local governments and to deploy support teams. The power is rarely used. Former President Bill Clinton in 2000 declared such an emergency for West Nile virus.

But it was all about trump all along and we all know it.

Result? Nothing found. And if sessions led it it would be suspect even if nothing was there.

This is the time for Trump to show he can lead, inspire and take charge in dealing with a complicated threat. I don't have much faith in him handling it well, considering his history.
