An interesting opinion. Most of us here at Democratic Underground,would have done better than Trump.

Why? Because of intelligence, ability to listen to others, and empathy, we would have done, and will do a better job with this horrific virus situation than Donald Trump.
... Supposing we had the information that Trump has, and the access to top advise on how to transmit that information, (as the President of the United States has), we would have done a better job already. It is a sad reflection on Trump, but I am sure that what I just said holds true for many of us. We have all faced horrific events and issues and dealt with them. Remember that there is access to the very best information in the world to the President of the United States. And access to the top leaders of the world for that person to discuss how and why things should be done. Instead of being a "leader" Trump has shown by his actions and words to be far less than that.
... Of course this would be extremely hard and consuming, but because we would be representing this country, in most difficult times, we would rise to the occasion. Rarely has Donald Trump done that.

...I am absolutely sure, beyond any doubt at all, Obama would have handled this crises differently and with more respect and empathy than the way it has been handled.
