It has k**led thousands, sown widespread fear and disruption and caused the worst day for Wall Street since the 2008 financial crisis. One man, however, is not panicking about the c****av***s. Donald Trump just spent two successive days on the golf course.

Even for a US president who has made a habit of denialism – from global heating to the size of Barack Obama’s inauguration crowd – the current crisis is raising the bar. One headline on Monday described it as “Trump’s Chernobyl”, a reference to the Soviet nuclear disaster that authorities could not censor away.

The commander-in-chief’s past attempts to bend reality to his will have often been met with derision or mirth. But this time it is hardly an exaggeration to say thousands of lives are at stake. The international crisis that many feared would test his norm-busting presidency has arrived.

“Denial, accusation, distraction, lies – these are his four principal responses to any rival,” said Gwenda Blair, a Trump biographer. “Only this time it’s not a person. When you think of that model, it doesn’t work with germs. A tweet doesn’t knock over a potential global p******c.” “Trump is a day trader. He runs out every morning and throws wh**ever he’s got in his head against the wall. It does not do the country a service when he is strongly inclined to believe his own bulls**t.”

Do you ever stop and think that by politicizing the v***s is what makes people to panic????? Stop and think before you spew your h**e about this President what it does to the country!!!

American Vet

Oh, please...."stop and think"?

You're talking to Kevyboy; he'll have to have someone explain to him what "think" means.

People for the most part are not panicking, they are taking meaningful precautions for what is nearing a p******c. Your I***t Pumpkinfuhrer is politicizing it, both by lying about it and countering the information from our own Center for Disease Control.

lindajoy Loc: right here with you....

Politicalizing this v***s has been the objective of the left... peoples health, thats not their objective at all...

Panic is their desire~~

Just a thought, but do you intend to panic each year when we are in flu season? It is a fact, up to 646,000 die each year from the flu and 36,000 of those people die right here in the USA. So, each year will you run in circles and shout "the end of the world" message, regardless of who is in office?

If a Democrat ever wins the White House will you begrudge them a break from the BS in DC?

President Trump is not responsible for the flu, car accidents, or bad weather. He is not responsible for the "oil" war at the center of the stock market fall. Then again, perhaps he has supernatural powers …. don't you recall when the President predicted the market would tumble if he were impeached? You laughed and Pelosi said she did not care! Now all of a sudden you and Congress care?

Trump is not panicking, that's exactly right. What a buffoon you are.

Lonewolf

To late his shining incompetence is enough to cause panic

Lonewolf

No but but his incompetent response and inability to appoint a qualified person to take change.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

You are so hardly worth the effort to respond to your lunacy but here goes; how would a "qualified" person enhance the response of our current powers to be? Trump responded very early on and y'all h**ers said he was r****t by trying to limit people from infected countries from entering, exactly like y'all did when he tried to stop i******s from coming in.

Y'all's h**e has become so predictable. Literally, it is y'all's h**e that is causing such unrest and instability. It is y'all's h**e that is making people so fearful of something which is a fraction as dangerous as all the current flu bugs we already had going around. It is y'all's h**e that is so irrespondsibly inciting people to panic, driving them away from their normal lives, pushing them away from life, all the while hurting so many businesses in the process.

Yes, lonewolf, what will your expert do do change that? Maybe tell y'all h**ers to STFU! That, I do believe, would be the first message.

vernon

That's the whole idea behind their operation. They are devious creeps will do anything or tell any lie to get their
way.

Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Exactly, Linda, the l*****ts have forged this v***s into a political weapon with which to launch a PsyOps campaign of fear mongering. This is just one more attempt to "Blame Trump", and once again it is going to backfire big time.

As such v***ses go, so far, C****-** is not nearly as lethal as the flu v***s.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

I just saw a WaPo headline saying that it is Trump who has politicized the c****av***s. Right!

egb

Yet the far-left progressive governor of California praises Trump for providing AND delivering on anything and everything Newsom needs or wants.

Who to believe .... hmmmm. This author or the actual people and governor of a state that is profoundly anti-Trump.

I think this author lives in la-la-land.

vernon

YOU WANT THE PRESIDENT TO RUN AROUND SHOUTING THE SKY IS FALLING. He will leave that to the
the dummies trying to destroy our country and our government.
