Fairly devastating comparisons with other world leaders:
*snip*
Even now, even in the worst public-health crisis in a century, he divides people instead of unifying them, creating precisely the kind of distrust that makes the disease harder to defeat. He cannot demonstrate empathy, because he is incapable of feeling any. He cannot demonstrate solidarity, because he has only disdain for his fellow citizens.
Americans, as a rule, rarely compare themselves with other countries, so convinced are we that our system is superior, that our politicians are better, that our democracy is the fairest and most robust in the world. But watch this video and ask yourself: Is this the kind of leadership you expect from a superpower? Does this make you feel confident in our future? Or is this man a warning signal, a blinking red light, a screaming siren telling all of us, and all of the world, that something about our political system has gone profoundly awry?

Trump is not a leader
Leaders are trusted by their followers. Trump is not
As bad as I thought GWBush was, I never feared he would actively try to make a pandemic worse, as Trump has.
When you look at all of Trump’s actions and deliberate inactions (like Defense Production Act) you see that they line up completely with what Vladimir Putin would have him do.
All roads lead to Putin.
