Trump's a Disaster. Here's Why Americans Are Rallying Around His Coronavirus Response.

Subtitle: Biden’s main job is to show that he is and that we can be a lot better than this; to convince people that the coronavirus has been a disaster that Trump has made far, far worse.

Michael Tomasky, Special Correspondent, Published Mar. 30, 2020 4:46AM ET

Tomasky is asking the question that many of us have in our minds.

How in the world does Donald Trump have an approval rating for his handling of the coronavirus above 10 percent? It’s unfathomable. OK, maybe 10 is a little extreme. But 25, 28. That is, his normal approval rating has been in the 43 range, and he’s screwed this up so obviously and completely that he should surely have lost 15 points or so.

But here he is, up near 50. And now, at least according to Sunday’s Washington Post-ABC poll, almost caught up to Joe Biden?

You might say that we all have bigger things to worry about, but on the scale of potential disasters that loom before us, Trump’s re-election rates pretty high.

This Is a Man-Made Disaster, and That Man Is Donald Trump

I don't have a subscription to the Daily Beast, but if someone else has one, I would be interested in his answer. Sorry I can't continue. Please help.

Lol!

of national disaster. It's what the administration does with that feeling. Bush 2 took us to endless war and cost tens of thousands of lives. This is tRump's version of it.

I am annoyed that I can no longer say Bush was the worse president in our history. Trump tops Bush in many respects, but I still think that a kinder look at Bush these days is mistaken.

the Bush admin on the Iraq war. I could see not going after Bush (maybe) but Cheney and Rummy should be doing time.
