Coronavirus Politics

Kevin Williamson has a strong op-ed on the coronavirus and the political implications of it.

Here’s one paragraph:

Trump has spent much of his presidency boasting about high share prices and low unemployment. That was before the stock market tanked 20 percent in response to the Wuhan plague and the Trump administration’s incompetent response to it, including the president’s error-laden Wednesday evening speech that sent markets plunging again on Thursday morning. Trump’s inability to get the basic details right — no, the insurance companies have not agreed to waive copays for coronavirus treatment, no, we haven’t suspended all air travel from Europe — undercuts his standing to paint Biden as confused and out-of-the-loop.
