Conservative Columnist Max Boot Says Trump's Turning Into 'Baghdad Bob' Over Coronavirus

Conservative columnist Max Boot called out President Donald Trump on Monday for delivering misinformation instead of the calm and steady leadership needed as the nation faces the twin crises of the coronavirus outbreak and spasming financial markets.

“Panic is spreading even faster than the coronavirus because there is no leader to reassure a jittery public,” Boot wrote in The Washington Post,

Boot noted that Trump already lacked credibility before the crisis. Now, Trump “has stayed true to incredible form.”

Last month when speaking about the outbreak, Trump claimed to have “shut it down” and predicted “close to zero” cases in the U.S. And just last week, Trump claimed: “We closed it down; we stopped it.”

Someone who's savvy in computer graphics should do a meme of Baghdad Bob with Trump's face.

the proper song is "The Party's Over" (GOP).

He's so good at destroying everything he touches, including an institution that began almost 200 years ago. It's an evil Gilligan with fake yellow hair.
