“Wartime president”
Donald Trump is now calling himself a “wartime” President in an apparent attempt to burnish his Election Resume at the expense of the Remainder of this Country who are Suffering from the Effects of the Coronavirus Pandemic. It is True that during Mr Trump’s Term in Office, the United States is being hammered by the Worst Pandemic “Pearl Harbor’ since the Outbreak of the Spanish Flu Pandemic in 1919. As a “wartime” President, Mr Trump must bear his share of the unpreparedness of the Nation for this Health Crisis, as did President Franklin Roosevelt and President George “W” Bush for the December 7,1941 and 9/11 Surprise Attacks, respectively. Mr Trump’s 2018 Dismantle of America’s National Security Council’s Global Health Security Officed (i.e. Pandemic Preparedness Planning) and his Initial Downplay of the Seriousness of the Coronavirus Pandemic (“It’s Not That Bad’ and “Return to Work” surely Rank as one of the more catastophic “Dunkirk” Actions in this Nation’s History.
