Tя☭mp☠ fails a competency test and the American people pay a massive price in loss of life, jobs and economic security and public trust.
The spread of COVID-19 (COVFEFE-45?) is almost 100% the sole and exclusive fault of Donald Trump.
Trump did not create the virus or cause the pandemic to start, but he is the one responsible for taking a manageable infectious disease and turn it into a raging, out-of-control engine of death, exploding into a national emergency.
Before the virus hit, Trump promptly dismantled every proactive measure enacted by Obama and that had previously been available to him:
• Dismantled Obama’s Pandemic Preparedness Office
• Threw away the pandemic playbook Obama left for him
• Terminated the SARS vaccine research*
• Recalled all on-the-ground foreign inspectors, including one stationed in Wuhan, China
.
When the virus hit, Trump DID NOTHING FOR MONTHS, promising it would just go away to zero “like a miracle.”
• Ignored warnings from advisors
• Denied the severity of the possible pandemic
• Played golf and held massive, crowded rallies
• Refused access to testing that would cause numbers to look bad
.
*COVID-19 is a variant of SARS, technically, SARS-CoV-2
"In a White House meeting, Trump — unprompted — suddenly began waxing on about a cognitive test he took in 2018, boasting about how well he’d done, and how he’d been able to repeat five words in order. Then, he challenged Biden to take the same test.
It was the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test. Someone in the replies to this tweet (where you can see the test itself) describes it as “mostly a test to make sure that the subject isn’t actually a potted plant in disguise.” And Tiny Toadstool’s shrieking about it like it proves beyond all that he’s Best At Smart.
Why aren’t the CDC and NIH screaming bloody murder? Where’s their leadership? It does no good to do all the research and not apply it. How did suppressing a virus become solely political? There are Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for handling outbreaks and they have to be enforced rigorously to eradicate a disease. Putting politics in the mix may doom us to living with this virus for years. Who will need a pension if you won’t live much beyond your working years….?
If only…if only he could read enough to even take a competency test. But of course, with his attention span, he wouldn’t get past page one. Or question one: Your Name.
Remind me, someone, please. Exactly what are his “personal triumphs and accomplishments”, his “qualifications”, for the office he has turned into a privy?
Testing only confirms you have a problem.. whether you want to know the numbers or not.. the COVID-19 virus continues to sicken more and more folk and the number you can not ignore is of those that die.

Pffft. Fake test. Besides he won’t scribble on it unless you let him use a sharpie.

I wonder if PINO Trump’s failed to take intelligence tests using the same logic as COVFEFE-45 testing….

Bolton’s book gives us the competency level of our Commandeer-In-Thief.
He’s done enough walkbacks (after his tongue or tweets burst out) to wear a streak through the Oval Office rug.
If a person really does not know what the truth is, how would they consider themselves as lying? There is none so blind as……

Trump would never write his name unless he was paid to do it…….up front.
No guarantees of anything after that.
But he will claim that 100% of his test results were correct, and that he passed it with flying colours.

Trump can only pass a picture test by coloring within the lines.
In November the remainder of us will try to do the same on a ballot.

Congress authorized 14 billion for testing months ago, Trump is still hanging onto the money.
Only testing could have slowed or stopped the virus and the Trump admin refused to test the nation or even come up with a coherent plan.
The Trump admin allowed covid to spread to every corner of the country.
