We are, rightly, blaming him for failure to act in a useful,
coordinated way.
The only "TDS" I see is his supporters, who continue to extol
all he does while refusing to hold him to any sort of account
for his myriad failures.
AT> All that stuff you called him out for just now - why didn't you call him

People did. Repeatedly. You dumb hicks all "haw hawed" it
in your vapid echo chamber. Bravo.
AT> I suggest keeping a positive attitude - Trump's not superman, neither was

You can't pray the pandemic away. I suggest action. The
first step is acknowledging that there is a problem.
Once again, deflection to Bush or Obama isn't useful.
AT> What would you do if you you tripped over a piece of coal that was lying
AT> on the street? Blame Trump because he opened the coal industry back up?
This asshole had three years to fix whatever shortcomings
he saw in the previous administration's preparedness for
the pandemic he was warned about repeatedly. Instead, he
dismantled the infrastructure that could have helped
avert the current disastrous trainwreck of a response.
The blame for this sits squarely on Trump's shoulders.
Period.

Is "think positive" _really_ your answer? You're joking,
right? How about not screwing around with the national
stockpile web site to fit Kushner's narrative, a move that
would make Orwell proud? How about actually trying to
lead and govern?
That'll never happen from Trump, though. He's too
incompetent and spiteful to actually lead Americans in a
coherent way to address the current challenge.
It's no mistake that the _first_ time he encountered a
major crisis the country fell apart on his watch.
