When the pandemic began to pick up speed in the US, I resisted the urge to blame the current white house administration for it. By default, a politician is as responsible for the existence of a virus as he/she is responsible for bad weather (aka. not at all).
However, it's become apparent that public resistance to mitigation efforts is encouraged by the so-called president. He refuses to take responsibility for our national response to the virus, undermines expert advice AND the experts themselves, and displays contempt for the people he meets by refusing generally to wear a mask. He lies constantly about almost every aspect of the problem. He's even missed his own standards for success in dealing with the pandemic.
He now owns this virus.
"Leadership: Whatever happens, you're responsible. If it doesn't happen, you're responsible."
