President Trump has been criticized by many for his disastrous response to the coronavirus outbreak, from downplaying the seriousness of it to going against expert advice on when to reopen the country’s economy. In an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, founding director of Defending Democracy Together Bill Kristol argues that Trump is doing a “very bad job” at leading our country through a crisis and Americans are “paying a terrible price” for his shortcomings. Kristol added that Trump has “made it much harder for other people to do the right thing” and that he’s “making our public discourse extremely stupid”. Ultimately, Kristol believes it will be a “test of the American people” to judge Trump’s performance during this critical time.
