#John Oliver breaks down Trump’s severe mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic


Donald Trump has made so many headlines with his serious mishandling of the pandemic that it’s difficult to keep track of them all.

Enter John Oliver. The Last Week Tonight host has previously criticized the president’s early response to the pandemic, as well as his handling of testing — but in the video above, he breaks down everything that Trump got wrong.

As you might imagine, it’s a long list. And after talking in depth about Trump’s chaotic European travel ban, his administration’s delays in securing PPE, and his bungled communication and outright lies about the virus, Oliver admits that 20 minutes isn’t nearly enough time to cover the president’s mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There are so many more terrible moments we haven’t even had time to cover, from using this racist term multiple times, to never once releasing a comprehensive federal strategy for fighting COVID, to removing a watchdog overseeing two trillion dollars in COVID relief, to saying he asked his people to slow down testing, which his people then tried to pass off as him kidding, to which he responded ‘I don’t kid,’ to baselessly claiming that doctors are inflating coronavirus death counts for money, to suggesting sunlight and ingesting disinfectants could help cure the virus, to repeatedly undermining the nation’s top infectious disease expert — at one point, he retweeted #FireFauci, and got so openly jealous of him that when Fauci was invited to throw the opening pitch at a Nationals game, Trump announced he’d be doing the same for the Yankees, surprising them since they’d not actually invited him.”

Oliver concludes by saying that while Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wouldn’t magically end the pandemic if elected, he’ll at least take it seriously.

“It’s pretty bleak that that alone sounds good, but it really does,” Oliver says. “‘Cuz at this point, Trump is clearly bored of hearing about COVID, and I am sorry about that. But you know what’s been completely exhausting for the rest of us? Worrying about it all the time.”
