Its all very well Trump closing the doors on Europe, it might be more relevant for Europe to close the doors on the US. The only reason, apparently, that they do not have exploding numbers of cases is because no-one is counting them.

The US will be hardest hit of all looking at the lack of testing and appalling response. Upshot is hopefully Trump will be held accountable. If he doesn’t have it already. He sounds terrible and looks sick.

The Brazilian leader had been under medical observation since his Communications Secretary Fabio Wajngarten tested positive for the virus on Thursday. Both officials were part of a delegation that met with U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence last weekend in Mar-a-Lago.

Nobody is relying on him now, he has as much power as Irish President at this point. All his bluster, all his bs, all his MAGA, all his hoaxes, it's all shown up for the bravado it always was. At a time when the country actually needed a leader, he failed. And he knows it. And regardless of his bravado, it hurts to come face to face with your own limitations. Of course he will try to bluff his way through it, try to pretend that nothing has changed, but he knows that nobody believes it anymore and more than that he knows he is no longer in charge

Most Democrats treating it seriously, with only about a 3rd of Republicans recognising this outbreak as serious. It's a shocking indictment of American politics that even something as ostensibly neutral as a pandemic can show partisan, split sentiments. So honestly with that in mind, I don't see this having any effect on Trump's support. Not any major swings. By all accounts polls suggest they'll row behind his ignorance with gusto.

I mean that is the league the US is in right now. They didn't even have working test kits ffs. You would feel bad for those in charge if it is was a 3rd world country.
