President Donald Trump is best suited to handle the coronavirus because he was "born for this moment," according to one historian who has spent decades analyzing U.S. presidents and their traits.

Historian, author, and former presidential adviser Doug Wead, who has followed every president since Gerald R. Ford, has been doing a detailed comparison of how the seven most recent presidents would have handled the crisis — and if they would have been successful.

"The current fight favors a president quick to decide, willing to let businesses help out, friendly with the media, and with a deep desire to do it right,” said Wead, whose latest book is Inside Trump's White House: The Real Story of His Presidency.

Of the seven, he told the Washington Examiner none had everything going for them, but two had three of four needed traits: Trump and Bill Clinton.

He was born for this moment. He has a strong desire to handle it well. He knows how to bring back the economy in a way that Obama couldn't. He has the confidence and optimism of Reagan and no help from the media. A more establishment Republican would hesitate before committing to a large government program. Trump has no qualms about it. As a former businessman, Trump also set corporations free to help. There is one other element to understanding Trump. He was on the motivational circuit. I was too. We all expect our leaders to be winners. We want our surgeon, our airline pilot, our accountant, our attorney to all be winners. He wants to be a winner as a president. He wants to live up to the speeches he gave onstage as a motivational speaker.

Here's what Wead wrote about former President Barack Obama:

His presidency was over as soon as he was elected. He was given the Nobel Peace Prize. As the first African American president, he is assured a huge place in history. He had no drive to do anything. Obama saw everything as the responsibility of others. He blamed everything bad that happened in his administration on his predecessor and then tried to take credit for all the good that happened under Trump.

And here's what Wead argued about former President Bill Clinton:

He seems to have some of the emotional qualities needed to deal with this current crisis. Of course, if it had happened on his own watch, with all that was going on in his personal life, it could have been disastrous. But if he were the president today, like Trump, he would have a deep desire to do it right, and, like Trump, he would know how to merge some of the best of the private and public sectors. He also would have media allies.

Many would certainly agree with Wead that Trump is best suited and equipped to handle the virus
