Washington (CNN)As President Donald Trump deals with the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic, he is without a key asset that has served many of his predecessors well during times of crisis: a bold, proactive national security adviser who can flag early threats and ensure the government is focused on combating them, current and former National Security Council officials tell CNN.

Robert O'Brien, Trump's fourth national security adviser, has been conspicuously out of sight in the administration's efforts to fight the coronavirus. Rather than helping to lead the response, he has delegated responsibilities to top aides and even bypassed coronavirus task force meetings.

In a rare, in-depth interview, O'Brien acknowledged to CNN that he's been out of sight from many public events at the White House, but he pushed back on any notion that he's absent, saying he meets with Trump almost daily to discuss the virus and is in constant contact with foreign allies to coordinate the response.

He did say the administration, as well as much of the world and scientific experts, took time to grasp the severity of the threat.

So O'Brien when you do go and meet with the asshole, do you bring in a different coloring book and crayons for him and you, and when he colors the book do you tell him to stay within the lines..........from this report it looks like you should resign along with him.......because in essence you also have BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS................
