Crashed:
In a backhanded recognition of that fact, on Friday, March 6, Trump
and his entourage visited the CDC to rally the troops. It was a vintage Trump performance. He sparred with the media, bragged about his high ratings on Fox and the recent stock market highs, and attacked the Democratic governor of Washington State, who was struggling to contain one of
America's worst early outbreaks. Trump then went on to admit that he had not known how many people died every year of the flu. He was impressed. Perhaps to reassure the public, he called to mind his "super genius" uncle, who had been a professor at MIT. Trump suspected that he might have inherited his natural scientific ability. Turning to the actual crisis, he promised "four million testing kits available within a week." The tests were "beautiful." "Anybody that needs a test gets a test." In fact, America's entire test system was in disarray.
Supergenius. Still weird that that guy was the president.
