We can't let that happen. The president knew of these dangers back in February, and he hid it from the American people. Trump panicked. The virus was too big for him. All his life, Donald Trump has been bailed out from any problem he faced. And with this crisis, a real crisis, the crisis that required serious presidential leadership, he just wasn't up to it.
