If Donald Trump’s critics are to be believed, the president’s middle name isn’t John, it’s Incompetent.
Longtime Trump critic S. E. Cupp wrote in her April 15 syndicated column, “We’ve grown complacent about Trump’s obvious incompetence and unmanageable mania, numbed by the inundation of idiocy over the past three years. But now it’s costing American lives, and we are all still in the crosshairs of his ineptitude.”
David Frum had shared a similar sentiment in The Atlantic a week earlier, when he insisted that while the COVID-19 pandemic is “not Trump’s fault,” the “utter unpreparedness of the United States for a pandemic is Trump’s fault.” Frum concluded his lengthy article in the same disrespectful terms that Cupp had employed in her column: “No matter how much he deflects and insults and snivels and whines, this American catastrophe is on his hands and on his head.”
MSNBC commentator Richard Wolffe was equally harsh in a March 13 op-ed for England’s Guardian newspaper: “The coronavirus outbreak has revealed the full stupidity, incompetence and selfishness of the president to deadly effect.”
President Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic does not mark the first time his critics have accused him of incompetence. The New York Times editorial board has shouted it repeatedly from its Eighth Avenue mountaintop.
For example, in a February 17, 2017 editorial, the Times proclaimed, after quoting presidential historian Douglas Brinkley’s nonhistorical observation that President Trump was “just releasing comments, tweets and policies willy-nilly,” that, “If there is any upside here, it is that the administration’s ineptitude has so far spared the nation from a wholesale dismantling of major laws.”
Trump had been president of the United States for less than a month when that editorial was published. How could he possibly repeal innumerable “major laws” that quickly, if—and it’s a big if—that’s what he wanted to do? Full Story - Scott Douglas Gerber - American Greatness

Media Mouth-Foam Over Trump ‘Suggestion’ of Disinfectant Injection
Idiot media clowns mouth-foam over Trump 'suggestion' of disinfectant injection
In Thursday’s press conference, Bill Bryan leader of the Science and Technology Directorate at the DHS discussed research regarding the effects of light and disinfectants on the Chinese virus. It turns out that UV light has quite an effect on the half life of the virus. Bryan also presented research on the effect of different cleaning agents on the virus. Here’s what Trump said (this is inexact because he is hard to understand) following Bryan’s presentation:
'Supposing we hit the body with the tremendous whether its ultraviolet or very powerful light, and I think you said, that has been tested. What about the light inside of the body either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you would test and then I see the disinfectant, it knocks it out in a minute, and is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside you say it’s in the lungs, and there’s a tremendous numbers [inaudible]. But it sounds interesting to me the whole concept of the light, and one minute. That is pretty powerful.' Read More
