Under growing criticism for his administration's laggard response to the coronavirus, President Trump has upped his efforts to blame others — including the WHO, Dr. Anthony Fauci, China, governors and the media.
A diagnosis of breast cancer is always accompanied by angst and uncertainty. It’s even more fraught when it comes in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.
Trump also insisted Monday that he, not governors and mayors, will decide when to “open up the states,” a claim at odds with reality but in line with his effort to claim credit for any positive developments while blaming others for any problems. “When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total,” he said. When another reporter asked him why he believed that to be true, he quickly shushed her — “Enough, please!” he said.
Timothy Naftali, a presidential historian at New York University, said the coronavirus crisis offered Trump “an opportunity that doesn’t often come to presidents” not just to show growth but to show commanding leadership and to bring the country together.“He failed, because he’s never been able to get beyond himself,” Naftali said. “He shouldn’t be wasting an ounce of energy on feuds. But it’s Trump against the world all the time.
The White House now is considering cutting U.S. funding for the WHO , the United Nations agency responsible for international public health, for acting too slowly to raise the alarm against the pandemic — the same criticism that many level against Trump.
