Truth be told Trump's action and "lack of" is merely a reflection of conservatism's thoughts and values. They have never taken this disease seriously and are more concerned about the bottom line, election polling and getting their way than they are about the health and well being of the American people. It is just their nature. Their deplorable handling of the government they hate is nothing new. Nice when things were going well after being handed an economy on the upswing from Obama but when faced with a crisis of biblical proportions they just do not have what it takes nor should they ever be handed the power to fail at it again. They haven't ever changed their stripes. We have millionaire politicians being controlled by their billionaire corporate and deep state overclass. To be clear, conservatives have joined with deep state intel long ago to be the world's controllers. They formed a complicit right wing media AND hijacked corporate mainstream media to message their conservative cult. The deep state they seek to destroy is the federal bureaucracy that keeps our government and country running and puts a lid on what the deep state intel and corporations can do. Thank god for independent voices on the internet.
