Yesterday, March 18, 2020, the President assembled his rapid response pandemic team for another press conference. He slurred his words, grew weary of trying to read his prepared remarks, then called on the Vice-President to tell the American people the contents of his speech.

Furthermore, on the leadership front, the President made excuses for the difficulty of the pandemic. One wonders how he ran his businesses. All the problems in the world come with a degree of difficulty. The reason we pay the leadership big bucks is for them to solve complex problems. When leadership whine about the complexities confronting them, it does not give confidence to the people led. Thus, unnecessary worry and concern experienced by Americans today.

Meanwhile, Congress passed legislation requiring paid sick leave for employers with 500 or fewer employees. The President promptly signed the bill into law. Things happen when the President gets out of the way and allow the experts to tackle a problem that is too complexed for him.

Additionally, the President and other Republican politicos have resorted to blaming the virus on the Chinese. Members inside the administration reportedly refer to the pandemic as the “Kong Flu.” The President calls it the “Chinese virus.”
