"I do think Trump, by stopping flights from China in particular, has handled the crisis with more success. "
Whatever one may think of Boris, he has never sunk to the level of Trump and imo never would
He is simply not that evil and ruthless.
He has been a blunderer, but not a narcissistic psychopath.
Trump's actions are entirely based on what he thinks best for his re-election chances
He would sacrifice any number of Americans for that
Hence his attempt to get support for restarting the US economy now, despite all public health experts warning against:
He thinks an economic crash would damage his election chances
and his (low minformation) voters in rural "red" states are at far less risk than Democrats in mostly urban "blue" states
The continuation of his trade war with China,
his deliberate destabilisation that helped bring down the Kazak government
his continued insistence of sanctions against Iran and other US "enemies" in deperate straits
....
all examples of how he is making this global disaster even worse
I do wish Boris were a much stronger & capable leader, to take over de facto leadership of the West in this crisis
Even a Major or Callaghan could have done that, let alone Thatcher or Blair
As it is, Trump is in the driving seat
