By The Numbers: Trump’s Failed Coronavirus Response

The numbers don’t lie: Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus has been a disaster for families across the country. For months, Trump has downplayed the threat of the coronavirus, ignored the advice of medical experts, and failed to come up with a plan to contain the spread of the virus. Now, cases continue to surge, more than 400,000 small businesses have permanently closed, and millions of Americans are out of work. And all Trump has to say about it is, “we’re learning to live with it.”
