I knew Trump inventing Coronavirus would come back to bite him!
I don’t think anyone is blaming Trump for the existence of the virus, but this is his first real test as President. Bush had 9/11, Obama had the recession, these events defined their presidencies and lifted them to reelection. Trump inherited a strong economy, and it’s stayed strong, but he hasn’t had anything hugely disruptive happen under his administration yet, so this moment is the test that shows the American people if he’s competent to lead.
If the steps he takes in the coming days help slow/stop the spread of the virus, and the economy rebounds in a few months, Trump will likely be re-elected in a landslide. If things continue to get worse into the summer, he won’t stand a chance.
