Corrik this is the only way I know how to say this but who our leaders are matter and the decisions they make do have real impacts on people's lives. This is true when they pass bills that obviously have a direct effect on the country that is written on the bill, but it's also true when they're making the the harder-to-see but just as real decisions that go into running the massive bureaucratic machine that is the government of a modernized country.

If Trump does not instruct federal agencies to act as if they were in a crisis and then the agencies fail to adequately respond to the crisis as effectively as they could have, then Trump deserves--at a minimum--just as much blame as the agencies do. (And it's entirely possible that he specifically instructed them initially to act as if they were not in a crisis, if his own initial public response is any indication.)
