The Worst President in History - Three particular failures secure Trump’s status as the worst chief executive ever to hold the office.

Hmm. Let’s see. Ignoring pandemic protocols laid out by the previous past two administration’s health, science and technology officials. One plan book was specifically titled“ playbook to early response to high consequence emerging infectious disease threats and biological incidents. Or maybe trumps systematic dismantling of the Executive branch of science infrastructure and the rejection of the role of science to inform policy. A glaring example, among many, is the removal of American scientists who were imbedded within China’s national infectious disease center only months before the outbreak. Leaving key positions such as the Director of science and technology vacant, dismantling the pandemic response team, (rolling those roles into a Dept Of Def team that already had multiple other responsibilities.) Installing incompetent family members charged with purchasing and supplying PPE’s, medical equipment to states. Jared actually had a “team of associates” googling PPEs for purchase. WTF?!?! Or perhaps it’s Trump invoking the Defense wartime’s act which authorized the feds to first purchase equipment. Then telling states “they’re not shipping clerks and to find their own.” Causing states to have to dig against each other due to the shortage.

Those are things only off the top of my head and specifically regarding the orange shitstains failure at his covid19 response.
