He didn't. The poor handling of this pandemic by government officials is not exclusive to the United States.

But he could have led the rest of the world by example. This was Donald Trump's Presidential crisis-of-the-century, and he had an opportunity to shine and prove everyone who had been putting him down for three years wrong.

He failed to take advantage of that opportunity. But he is not alone in that failure.

And honestly, I don't know that Hillary would have handled it any better or worse. I've been saying for months this is a no-win scenario. You either sacrifice the people to save the economy, or you sacrifice the economy to save the people. It's impossible to do both. I know what I would have done. Trump chose differently.
