About being President of the U.S. If it wasn't Trump, and it was one of us who was President. then

here is what would have happened: (in my opinion)..Most of us, as President of the United States, who would have seen a terrible threat coming to our country, that could kill thousands of people, would have done every single thing to prevent that threat from taking hold. That would include everything imaginable. From national closings, to national testing, getting test kits, masks, everything...
..Now, it also would mean spending as much time and effort in doing whatever is necessary to make things happen in that prevention. Staying up late, consulting over and over with experts, calling leaders of other nations asking what they are doing, getting as much information as humanly possible and as being as prepared as possible.
...Also, no stupid tweeting about opponents and events. The most important task would be known to all ..
.......SAVING LIVES DURING THE UPCOMING CRISES and NOTING ELSE...

.....It is obvious to me and to all of us, Donald Trump has shown none of the above concern. NONE..
As many have said before, and will say again, Trump cares only about himself and how things appear about
him.....
.........If he had concerns about others, we would all see those concerns. There are none

on how to deal with it when it was starting in China.

For something that is a worldwide problem there is a huge lack of this right now.

And if there had been one death or a hundred they would have launched a dozen investigations and scheduled endless hearings on how a hundred deaths justified impeachment or worse.
