The president is “in way over his head” with coronavirus, ChrisEdelson writes. OPINION
As we all grapple with what the novel coronavirus means for various aspects of our lives, ranging from canceled public events to closed schools and volatile financial markets SPX, -4.88% TMUBMUSD10Y, 0.871% , it’s worth asking a fundamental question. What would a normal president say and do in response to this crisis?
It is clear even to casual observers that Trump is in over his head and is interested mainly in public messaging that he thinks will mitigate personal political damage to him in an election year. Some experts have suggested that we simply have to accept that we have a president who is incapable of handling the crisis and work around that reality. Crisis-management expert Juliette Kayyem concluded that “a crisis finds a nation as it is, not as its citizens wish it to be.”
While scientists, doctors and other public health professionals deal with the day-to-day business of saving lives and mitigating damage, the rest of us — especially those with a platform that reaches the public — must say what is self-evident: Donald Trump cannot do his job. He must resign — immediately.

Sometimes I just wanna hug that lovable little empty suit.” Dwyer went on to say that it broke her heart just imagining the look on Warner’s darling face when he finds out she and most everyone else in her department are quitting.
