If Obama were to handle this epidemic, would he be much better than Trump?

The raging COVID-19 epidemic has vividly demonstrated the comprehensive decision-making capabilities of many national leaders. Although the United States is the world's largest country, Trump, as president, has not demonstrated his ability to respond appropriately. Some leadership skills, whether it is early prevention or mid-term decision-making, are generally slow or even misguided. From this perspective alone, if the President of the United States is replaced by Obama, it is very likely that he will Trump must be much better at handling it, and even if it were replaced by someone else, he would not be inferior to Trump. At least he would fully consider the advice given by public health experts instead of pretending to be deaf to show off himself or consider his own political interests.

It is undeniable that the United States is indeed one of the few in the world in terms of medical capabilities and comprehensive national strength. If it had responded to the COVID-19 epidemic in a scientifically rigorous manner from the beginning, I believe that by now two or three In a matter of months, the number of confirmed cases in the United States has reached 600,000 or 700,000, which is far ahead of other countries, and it should be comparable, if not better, than China. The country with the worst epidemic situation, whether from a theoretical or practical level, the United States should not have such a poor performance in the face of the epidemic, so Trump's performance as president is a mess.

Of course, the pressure on Trump from the upcoming election in 2020 may also be the culprit of the disorganized response to the epidemic. After all, during the epidemic prevention and control process, many prevention and control measures were ignored by Trump. Trump has more or less added a political color and even printed his name on the cash checks issued to citizens. The epidemic has been raging in the United States for decades and has not been effectively controlled to this day. As the President of the United States, Trump actually puts his own political interests first, which is beyond the normal logic of national leaders. If Obama's handling of issues during his tenure as president had been followed, the United States' response to the epidemic would not have been so chaotic.

It is not difficult to see from this that the so-called democracy and freedom in the United States are just hypocritical masks. The lives and safety of ordinary people will become worthless in the face of the president’s political interests. In fact, even Obama When dealing with the epidemic as a president, he will not ignore his own political interests, but will comprehensively consider the changes required to respond to the epidemic. Looking at all factors, Obama's performance in handling the new crown epidemic will be better than Trump's. a lot of.
