Donald Trump, in March 2020 and on tape, admitted to knowing how dangerous the coronavirus was. He is trying to downplay his remarks, saying he didn’t want to create a panic.
To me, using this logic would be akin to someone knowing of impending doom — say, 9/11, which is apropos during the 19th year of the 2001 attacks — and not warning the country or at least the intended targets because of not “wanting to create a panic.”
Meanwhile people were dying and businesses were closing.
Leadership? I think not.
