I remember how we used to say George W Bush was the worst president ever, stupid and incompetent, and a cheat in Florida.
#DonaldTrump is sooooo much worse, it almost looks like W was a good president.

A note from a N.Y. doctor in an ER:
Please use telemedicine if you can and if your symptoms aren’t severe.
They’re really trying to keep space clear for intensive cases.
Hearing that one of the holdups in passing the coronavirus bill is Republicans wanting to add some kind of abortion restrictions & remove paid sick leave. If so, that’s a damned disgrace.
So let me get this straight. Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump are ok ballooning our debt for tax cuts to line the pockets of millionaires and billionaires, but they're not willing to help working Americans survive a global pandemic?

A complete lie.The fact is they delayed testing Americans due to @realDonaldTrump’s instability. His emotional insanity has scared others in the Administration from acting. What happens when unknowing carriers go to visit their elderly parents. The @gop has blood on its hands.
My Q: You said you don’t take responsibility for slow response to coronavirus but your administration disbanded the White House office on pandemics?
President Trump: “That’s a nasty question...When you say me, I didn't do it. We have a group of people [in the administration].”
QUARANTINE DIARY
Day 1: I have stocked up on enough non-perishable food and supplies to last me for months, maybe years, so that I can remain in isolation for as long as it takes to see out this pandemic
Day 1 + 45 minutes: I am in the supermarket because I wanted a Twix
Wow.
Jeff Mason just asked Trump: “You're asking people coming back from Europe to self-quarantine. You were photographed w/ someone who has coronavirus last wknd. How is that different?”
WORTH REPEATING: In 2018, Trump fired the entire US pandemic response team.
These were the experts with decades of experience dealing with precisely the kind of situation we are in today.
Trump did not replace them.
He eliminated the positions.

WORTH REPEATING INDEED. IN 2018, TRUMP FIRED THE ENTIRE US PANDEMIC RESPONSE TEAM. Today, Every American is paying the price for his abject incompetence. Instead of strengthening our institutions he attacked them and killed them off. The hour of accountability is coming.
The CDC was ill prepared,
b/c Donald Trump is president
We can’t test people,
b/c Donald Trump is president
People are dying today,
b/c Donald Trump is president
The market is crashing,
b/c Donald Trump is president
The US is an embarrassment,
b/c Donald Trump is president
.@Yamiche: “You did disband the White House pandemic office & the officials that were working in that office left...What responsibility do you take?”
TRUMP: “I think it’s a nasty question.”
Don’t let Trump’s insults distract you: His gross negligence is costing American lives.
