Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.

By the way, what are the specific criticisms about Trump's handling of the Corona Virus? I'm seeing some criticisms floating through my news feed, often by Dem party members but I'm not getting anything specific. It's all just general "he's not handling it right" messages. I'm struggling to imagine what the specifics would be and what you could blame him for.

Is there anything he's done or said (or tweeted) that he shouldn't have done? Is there a message people feel he should have sent out that he hasn't? A contingency he's blocked? Or is it just generalised mud slinging?

That question seems to imply that Trump is fit to be president and so why the criticism...

Just generally he is a pathological liar. He can't help himself. That is not the kind of person you want to have in charge of a crisis. Here is an example, during one of his first press conferences he said a vaccine was "coming soon". His sycophants had to correct that ASAP saying what Trump really was talking about was the Ebola virus. Is that the kind of liar your want informing the nation? Can you really ever trust what he says? He can't even tell the truth about where his father was born...

Trump is a narcissist. Everything is about him. He wrongly, the economy has been on a steady ten year rise, claims he is the savior of the stock market. So what is his first reaction when it goes down, send out Larry Kudlow, the economic advisory, to calm people about the stock market. It is not about the nation and the virus, it is is about Trump.

Next up, put Pence in charge. He is blamed for a number of deaths because of how he handled HIV in Illinois. Not only does he not have any medical background at all he disputes the findings of people that do.

And what is Pence's priority? All news releases must go through him. Anyone that thinks that is for anything less than keeping damage control down for Trump is fooling themselves. He was touting Trump's "decisive actions saving us" on the Sunday shows. There isn't a bigger sycophant on the planet and Trump put him in change of our safety. With Trump in charge the virus is second to him as far as government action.

So my point is Trump's actions for the last three years is indicative of what he is doing now. Is everything we read in the news about the virus fake? Is the enemy of the people, the press, going to tell us lies about the virus to hurt Trumps election? That is what he says. So asking "but I'm not getting anything specific. It's all just general "he's not handling it right" messages. I'm struggling to imagine what the specifics would be and what you could blame him for." implies he is being wrongly thought of as unfit for a crisis.

The question I think should be asked is he fit for any crisis whatsoever?
