COVID-19: WaPo Says US "Beset by Denial and Dysfunction" From Oval Office to CDC

While Trump points the finger at Democrats, media, governors, healthcare workers and EVERYONE but his own team and HIMSELF, WaPo details in interviews and with emails, schedules and notes how ONE MAN -- the President of the United States Donald J Trump -- refused to take COVID-19 seriously.

When his weak-kneed staff tried to tell him the facts, he threatened to crucify them. Rather than resign, countless numbers bowed down to his fury. After all, Trump is God's man, right?

For all who hear Trump deranged, wandering, lying, poor poor me vindictive pressers every day -- when he talks about dating models and his TV ratings 30 seconds after accusing New York of overstating its problems -- there is NO reason to doubt the veracity of these reports.

The utter incompetence, ignorance and self-absorbed, detached from reality ego of Donald J Trump threatens the entire stability and life force of the United States of America.

Of course, Trump hates the media because most aren't part of his Truman show. Rational minds like mine are on the outside looking into Trump's bubble show, and we are horrified.

Remember the hundreds of thousands of dead bodies strewn across America during the Civil War. This fissure runs deep in America and when it rears its ugliest head, it's a national gut punch in what is two countries with two totally different vision of reality, science, values and justice.
