Has any previous president failed his big test as thoroughly as Trump has these past few months?
He rejected the advice of health experts and pushed for a rapid economic reopening, hoping for a boom leading into the election. He ridiculed and belittled measures that would have helped slow the spread of the coronavirus, including wearing face masks and practicing social distancing, turning what should have been common sense into a front in the culture war. The result has been disaster both epidemiological and economic.
Trump is like one of those nightmare bosses -- too incompetent to do the job and won't just go away.
