It wasn’t so much that intelligence agencies didn’t warn Trump about the looming pandemic—it’s that the president is, as he might put it, a “low IQ individual” who cannot understand or pay attention to his briefings
about the crisis and minimizing its significance until it was too late—at which point he promptly began shifting the blame, politicizing the disaster, and now pressuring states to reopen their businesses whether or not they meet the safety benchmarks his own administration outlined.
Thanks to his blundering response to the crisis, Trump’s approval ratings have continued to drop; a Quinnipiac poll, by 11 points. That may signal that a growing number of Americans prefer a commander-in-chief who is guided by experts and intelligence officials rather than what, say, a retired professional golfer mentioned to him on the links recently. Indeed, the qualities some Trump voters excused or embraced in the past might finally be wearing on them amid the COVID crisis.
