He is also NOT incompetent on any matters...well, except such things that require specalized training, like brain surgery, airline pilot, and those such occupations. I would say he is equally incompetent in such endeavors as well, even you Goosey, the all-mighty, all-knowing one.
As for his present occupation as POTUS he is very compentent and qualified...much more so than a majority of people, including and especially Joe Biden, obummer, Krooked Killary, Pelosi, and one of neighbors who happens to be a blithering moron.
First, just to recap, we all KNOW the Chicoms lied about and tried to cover-up the initial breakout of their China virus. That made worse by the WHO's involvement in the cover-up. Yes, most political leaders around the world were blind-sided by the blatant lies/cover-up perpetrated by the WHO. And don't even try to pretend you think Trump should have somehow knew the WHO was lying. It was (WAS! not anymore) prudent to trust the WHO for the straight scoop. By the time that truth came out, it was too late, the small fire had grown into a raging forest fire, worldwide.
Secondly, Trump did take steps as early on as the rule of law and prudence allows for a POTUS. He did create a task force, he did stop travel coming from China, and then elsewhere. He did rally industry to switch to making PPEs and equipment, like ventilators, he did move to remove/reduce regulatory hurdles for "Big Pharma" so they may conduct research and create both treatments and a vaccine...which we may never have, BTW! That is possible. And it's also possible, and most likely, any vaccine will be limited to protecting only a segment of the population, perhaps along blood type lines. Of course, you'll try to blame Trump for any pharma failures in that regard.
Trump also immediately secured practical, day to day support for areas hardest hit, like New York where he deployed that navy hospital ship. Remember!! it was the battle cry from the so-called experts, and local political leaders, like Guvnar Coma, that the single biggest crisis was overwhelming the hospitals. Surely, even you will acknowledge that. Trump quickly and successfully rendered that issue moot with the establishments of the those tent compounds, and the two navy hospital ships on each coast. But, all the way into mid-March, Dem political leaders were poo-poohing the notion of a health crisis. Yet, it is only Trump who is "uniquely incompetent."
We also had all kinds of conflicting reports, testimonials, and research findings from an array of healthcare professionals, including doctors who were dealing with the virus on a daily basis. They never, and still haven't to this day, come to one solid consensus on one plan. There are still doctors and others, epidemiologists, who don't totally agree. Hey, President Trump, this group of HC pros say it is "A" and this group of HC pros insist it is "B." Choose one...and you better be right else you'll be called incompetent by some fools on Internet forums.
Next, many people still believe in a level of "states' rights," local government rights, AND! the freedom of Americans to make decisions for themselves. Some guvnars took drastic, unconstitutional actions and Trump did not intervene, such as the states of Texas and Florida banning travelers from Louisiana. Ironic that it is now those two states being hit hard.
Also, it made no sense at all for some businesses, like Walmart, being allowed to continue operating, initially with ZERO measures, while small businesses were ordered shut down. Later Walmart and others adopted some protocols of limiting access to their establishments, while still NOT requiring mask-wearing, only just strongly encouraging it. Small businesses could have stayed open, but be required to exercise measures designed to curtail the spread of the virus. But they were never given that option.
The City of Natchitoches did implement some tougher measures, a 10 pm curfew for minors, then later, for everyone, and the requirement of wearing a mask to enter any public buildings. The mask-wearing mandate is still in place and the lone entrances are staffed by LEO with the authority to deny entry to anyone without a mask, and to arrest and detain any violators who insisted on access w/o a mask. Again, Trump has said nothing about that, and has not intervened in those practices. Why aren't all local governments, city and state, following similar mandates? Trump can not and will not stop those measures being put in place.
Yet...is only Trump who is "uniquely incompetent."
I know it is true that blue cities and states are incompetent, and moronic, so I suppose one can cast blame on Trump for not intervening Federally...by sending in Federal LEO. Oh, but wait, he did that to protect Federal property in Portland and has been roundly bashed for doing that! What chance does he have, in the arena of public opinion, of pulling off "thinking" for local Dem political leaders? If wanton vandalism, destruction, and violence is to be tolerated over the introduction of Federal LE, then no way would said naysayers support the use of Federal LE over some unseen, crisis hoax virus.
It is the Left that is "uniquely incompetent" to lead us out of this...and anything else.
