World leaders respond to pandemic
One of these world leaders is not like the other... Here's how President Trump's coronavirus response contrasts with other key political figures. đđŠ
Failure From the Top
Trumpâs disinformation, ignorance, and lack of accountability responding to COVID-19 as other leaders brace accordingly.
Macron of France prepared for the worst case
French officials made sure, early on, to echo best practices from the world health organization while taking steps to be able to provide tests and care for the population. In the mind of Donald Trump, this pandemic just happened and surprised us all.
Merkel of Germany unafraid to share sobering truths
The German Chancellor made a point to stress that the virusâ trajectory pointed to a majority of the population becoming both exposed and or infected. In a nationally televised address, less than a week ago Donald Trump continued to downplay the dangers and risks posed to the country he was elected to protect
Conte of Italy ready and willing to prop up nation financially
While Italian leadership understood their failed preparedness and reacted accordingly to prevent economic ruin, Donald Trump has gone forward with an aid package and declaration of emergency only once it was finally politically expedient
Johnson of Britain stresses containment measures
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, among many others, unequivocally preach the importance of active and vigilant measures to minimize infections as Donald Trump is on record promoting passivity when addressing supporters at a rally
Morrisson of Australia calls for unity on a national and global level
Collective action and a singular shared goal is the mantra of Australiaâs Prime Minister and his cabinet in mitigating a crisis with the broadest reach of a generation. Donald Trump has continually stressed the fact that the health of many will only be lightly affected, if at all, and they can exist on an island of sorts, undisturbed. âWhen you compare what weâve done to other areas of the world itâs pretty incredible.â Indeed, Mr. President.
