Discussed Today, In Detail:
Watch: The key challenge Trump fails against every other President facing crisis
Presidents throughout history have led the nation to grieve during tragedy –
until now. As over 90,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, Pres. Trump is
breaking the bipartisan custom of consoling the nation. During an entire month
of briefings, Trump devoted less than one percent of his total time to
condolences (as the Washington Post reported), a marked contrast to Presidents
Bush, Clinton, Obama and Reagan. MSNBC Anchor Ari Melber delves into the
historical footage, noting President’s action or inaction shapes “how the nation
is protected,” adding, "this is not normal. We should not act like this is
normal.”

Trump in Obama’s Shadow again?
'Cold' coronavirus response contrasted to Obama’s crisis leadership
As over 90,000 Americans have died due to COVID-19, Pres. Trump is breaking the
bipartisan custom of consoling the nation. That approach is a contrast to
several Presidents, including Pres. Obama, who emphasized consoling victims,
sharing his own emotion, and leading prayers during tragedies ranging from mass
shootings to updating the nation on the swine flu pandemic. MSNBC Anchor Ari
Melber features recent historical footage and a “side by side” contrast of both
President’s statements about infectious disease outbreaks (swine flu and
coronavirus). This is an excerpt from a longer segment comparing Trump to
several Presidents in both parties.
