Saving my country from one mess after another, having seen the Tangerine Tyrant's disastrous mishandling of the COVID-19 outbreak, is what "triggers" me. His inability to trust and work with subject matter experts was not an issue until a problem requiring a strong and self-assured leader came along. In his own words, he "listened to Dr. Fauci, then did the opposite of what he said to do." He turned managing a public health crisis into a public farce that played to the lack of knowledge of the importance of universal precautions in the face of what was then a yet to be clearly defined pathogen. It played well to the "groundlings," but cost lives among MAGA contrarians.
