>Did you watch the address Wednesday night? And how many critical points had to be corrected afterward? Yes. Sounds like the system is working as intended. Do you understand the pace at which things are happening right now (much of it the administration's own fault)? It isn't "just" a virus; they are also concerned about the economy and an election and an opposition (and media) who will blow every mis-step out of proportion. It doesn't matter what Trump does, the media says it's bad. Always. Remember when he was racist for restricting flights from China early on? And right now I'd bet they don't have a plan (again, their own fault). The press conference was a disaster, I agree. Trump looked legit ill. Based on that you determine he can't process information? Your priors mean nothing?

> Yes. Sounds like the system is working as intended. Sure. Remember the topic though. It’s working in spite of his inability to transmit information. And it’s a lot less efficient/effective to correct information after-the-fact. > the media says it’s bad True, but so what? The media isn’t one guy, it’s a huge number of people and many of them pay attention to what he does. So, yes someone somewhere criticizes everything he does whether it’s deserved or not, just like Obama and every other president. BTW, you might not bring up his early handling of this. Not “a hoax” anymore, is it. We didn’t get to zero cases soon. Unfortunately, we can’t go back and correct these incorrect statements. > Your priors mean nothing? Ok, now I think you’re just trolling. Jesus.

Donald "Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated" Trump. The guy who said Russia would never invade Ukraine. Who called his soon-to-be convicted national security advisor in the middle of the night to ask if it was better to have a strong dollar or a weak dollar. The guy who promised a peace deal with North Korea after tearing up a durable deal with Iran. A guy who said tax cuts pay for themselves and the deficit will go down. Remember 2.5 years of infrastructure weeks? Seriously, what topic has he shown even basic fluency? He is exceedingly capable of expressing his impatience with imperfect solutions of his predecessors and adversaries. He has less than zero capacity to even as well as any of them.
