Would Biden Be Able To Handle A Pandemic?

Fox & Friends Weekend' host Pete Hegseth talking with the regular hosts at Fox & Friends:
"Biden makes it clearer by the day that he could not handle the management of a pandemic like this."

Oh, yes. Trump is so much better equipped. All he needs to do is to shove responsibility onto others, blame and denigrate others, praise himself, and lie more than Kellyanne Conway. Then he can wipe his hands and be secure in the knowledge that he has handled the crisis by acting presidential as he has defined the term over the last three years.

Biden would have to listen to health experts, intelligence services, governors and mayors, economic advisors, his Cabinet, people who could coordinate a global response and advise him as to what other countries are doing.

He would consult with legal experts who know what he can and cannot do, and with heads of his disaster response agencies such as FEMA. He would listen to his pandemic response team who would be part of the National Security Council.

Biden would also decide how to be an example of how people should behave during a large-scale contagion. He has to give people hope while at the same time making sure that people are kept informed as to what exactly the situation is and what is happening.

Biden would have a much tougher time than Trump. It's clear who we would want leading us in a pandemic like this.

So Fox and Friends and their guest watch two hours of Trump at the podium for what is supposed to be the coronavirus briefing. They watch a man who cannot even handle reporters' questions without becoming angry and insulting, telling the reporters that they should be nice and ask nice questions and praise what he is doing, all without answering the questions. 

They see a man who lies constantly and makes up stuff. Who, instead of letting the professionals at the coronavirus briefing answer questions about the virus and the pandemic, continually put out misinformation that others must then try to correct. A president who tries to profit off the crisis by touting a dangerous and unproven quack cure that he and his family have a financial stake in.

Fox and Friends admire a man who wrongly claims absolute and total authority and who says that he will be issuing a paper on that (his proofs never materialize). Trump is someone who constantly attributes unnamed people with praise for himself, how he has saved lives and handled everything perfectly. On almost any issue he will say that the experts can't believe how much he knows. Or Trump tells us unnamed people have told him how wrong his enemies are. When challenged on facts he will sometimes say, "That's what I was told." Trump continually politicizes the issues and insults Democrats.

Biden talks about the federal government issuing guidelines, not orders, and they think he is doing a 180. Fox and Friends and their guest conclude that the racist idiot at the podium is handling the crisis just fine and that Biden hasn't a clue.

Would Biden flee north if he had to deal with a pandemic? Not unless he is dragging Trump's ass across the border for the Canadians to deal with.
