Dear Joe (Loudmouth),

Christopher Hitchens a conservative?

I'd call him a radical, humanist, intellectual
idealist - perhaps a conservative Marxist?

Nick Cohen?

A conservative.

I believe that every previous US President would have proven far more capable than Trump with regard to addressing the coronavirus situation.

Sure, some of them are arguably more articulate than others, but all would been smart and humble enough to listen to health experts immediately when the danger was first reported, including Nixon.

That is my opinion.

far more capable than Trump
Chris Lewis,
I didn't know the POTUS is required to be a medical expert ? A President or Prime Minister I'd have thought was merely relying on the mainly Leftist medical people for advise ?

Our PM has a Cabinet as well as a variety of medical
experts that can and do advise him. I'm sure the
same applies to the US President. Fortunately our
PM listens. The US President does not. He only listens
to his own voice and therein lies the problem for the
American people. For which they're now paying a hefty
price.

Individual,

the difference is Trump, unlike other presidents, would not listen to the medical advice he was offered.

that is the point I was trying to make.

is Trunp so smart that he need not listen? I doubt it.

the leftist medical experts, as you call them, are likely to have the best opinion.

that is what Morrison and the majority of Australians accept.

Foxy,

i wonder if, for some people, they have a level of knowledge/ignorance which they think is just about all there is to know, or needed to know, and everything else is irritating, prissy detail. So Trump is impatient with all that fiddly detail which any medical person would assume was absolutely vital knowledge.

As a fair-weather president, and a narcissist, and not too bright with it, he's probably the worst person for the very crucial task of driving the US out of this disaster. Watch the US Curve start to go up again in two or three weeks (cases) and in four or five weeks (deaths).

Joe
