Trump vs. the Coronavirus -- What the Polls Say
By Brian C. Joondeph
If you watch cable news, something I have assiduously avoided these past few weeks, you will be told that Barney Fife is in charge of the country, that the President lies, mismanages, exaggerates, and has totally botched America’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Some say character is created in the crucible of adversity, yet the reality is that such adversity reveals character. Leaders are facing unprecedented challenges today, with lives and entire economies riding on every decision. Such battles don’t create leaders, but instead reveal the great leaders and expose the posers.

Elected officials are making decisions based on the best information available at that moment, which is different today than it was yesterday, and will change again tomorrow.
