I joined Turkey’s TRT World on Thursday to explain how the testimony of Dr Rick Bright, the top public health official pushed aside by the Trump Administration, highlights Donald Trump’s disastrous mismanagement of the Coronavirus crisis.

The Administration will respond to Rick Bright not by challenging his evidence but by trying to trash his reputation.
The Donald Trump tactic, even before Coronavirus, is to go on the attack and say whoever is raising these points is a “disgruntled employee”.
Politics for Trump trumps medical advice.
