Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images The Trump administration’s catastrophic response to the coronavirus, like many of the administration’s crimes and blunders, combined a broader Republican ideological failure with Donald Trump’s idiosyncratic pathologies. The broader ideological failure is the right’s paranoid rejection of science and empiricism, which has been building up for decades.
The Post casually notes that “new approach” — that is, framing the electoral map implications of a mass casualty event — “seemed to resonate.” Trump’s mishandling of Hurricane Maria has proven to be a revealing antecedent to the current crisis. The administration’s lethargic response to a catastrophic disaster in Puerto Rico — which lacks representation either in Congress or the Electoral College — was reflected in a barely concealed campaign of abuse. Trump publicly lambasted Puerto Rico for getting too much money, a stark contrast to the glee he expressed while gloating about the cost of his hurricane rescue efforts for Texas.
After I left, it was 16 people that died. The 16 people was then lifted a couple of months later to 64 and that was the official number. And then all of a sudden, I read a report, many, many months later — a long time later — that they did a report that 3,000 people died. And I was like, “Wait a minute, you went from 16 people to 64. We did a great job, and then you went from 64 to 3,000. How did that happen?” And they couldn’t explain it. If you read that report, it’s not explainable.
