Donald Trump has already made a mockery out of the United States’ response to the coronavirus that’s now infiltrated all 50 states. He’s spread a plethora of misinformation, called the potentially fatal virus a “Democratic hoax” and attempted to use it against his political opponents, encouraged infected people to continue to go to work, and brushed the whole thing off as little more than a common cold or seasonal flu.
It wasn’t until this nation was all but screwed that he started to form even the semblance of a legitimate response to the illness that was already taking over by this point — leaving us all (him included, I’d venture to say) to wonder if he’s just too little, too late as local governments scramble to do all they can to protect their constituents while it becomes increasingly clear that the federal government isn’t exactly an entity that can be relied on at this point.
You’d think, at this point, that Trump would be putting some of the nonsense aside and working with every area of the government to combat this thing before the country officially goes to hell in a handbasket.
But Trump is an immature man-child who likes to take grudges to his grave, and according to Politico’s Jake Sherman who spoke with MSNBC today, we probably shouldn’t hold our breath.

“The president and Speaker Nancy Pelosi have still not spoken during this crisis,” Sherman revealed. “That’s unheard of during a national emergency of this magnitude, that the Speaker of the House and the President of the United States have not spoken at all.”
“Her perspective, her votes, her cooperation is going to be needed, not only this week but going forward for the next many, many months,” he went on. “On this specific issue, it doesn’t look like the president is going to be taking Nancy Pelosi’s advice. He’s kind of flying solo on this while his Treasury secretary takes the lead in handling the kind of broad, overall congressional reach liaison.”
“It’s quite amazing to see the president hasn’t been active with Congress in any way, shape or form,” Sherman stated.
It’s clear that putting country before party, or even before bullshit, petty grudges, isn’t in Donald Trump’s schedule — America be damned.
