Ummm, are we talking crises most of the world acknowledges as legitimate crises? Or, are we talking imaginary crises Trumpty and his followers think are happening?

Actual crises, Covid-19 and the resulting mismanagement there of? Racial and economic inequality?* Environmental Pollution and Climate Change?*

*These two are not exclusive to Trumpty. Both have come to explosive urgency under his watch. His political ineptitude and general awfulness of being a human have fueled ire.

Imaginary Crises, protecting Confederate Iconography, The War on Christmas/Christianity, the unfair regulation of incandescent bulbs and low flush toilets? Twitter Warning Labels and Cancel Culture?

The crises Trumpty has faced, even those of his own creation, responses have all been bungled. Each moment when fallout could have been minimized, by action or inaction, Trumpty made it worse.

He singularly represents every failing of Burgerlandian culture.

He solved the Migrant Caravan Crises didn't he? They took one look at the single section of fence...I mean wall...that he's built so far, saw it was 12 feet tall and realizing they only brought a 6 foot ladder, went home. I know Trumpsters in Oklahoma are breathing easier now due to that (and because they don't believe in masks).

I would say a crisis of conscience, but I sincerely doubt it.

TV ratings, abysmal approval numbers, twitter censorship, which upgrades to make to Mar-a-lago with our tax dollars, making his wife smile, keeping Eric from shoving a crayon up his nose (again), worrying about how he should feel when a Hispanic person shows up to a rally... I don't know that I'd call these crises, but he seems to.

Outside of the coronavirus, what other crises has Trump had to deal with as President?

Pretty straightforward question. No need to turn it into an argument.
I’m confused Wally. You live in the United States. Are you that unaware of current events?

Also don't forget his really biggly tax cut that single-handedly solved the billionaire poverty crisis. I know I sleep a whole lot better knowing Sean Hannity's or Stewart Varney's fourth summer home is safe from foreclosure.

Presidents usually only get one or two unless you're republican then you get a slew of self-inflicted ones like GWB and 9/11, Iraq, the Financial Collapse. Or Reagan and the Savings and Loan crisis or the fake War on Drugs.

The biggest, I mean biggliest crisis that Trump has had to face is not the Covid-19 crisis and its impact on sickening and killing people, or overrunning hospitals and their staffs, but...

that Covid-19 has interfered with his in-person political rallies!

That and keeping the workers on the assembly lines in the factories that make his orange bronzer and hair gel. He must go through a ton of both each day.

I wanted to see if Trump had some other crisis that he has handled as poorly as corona. I could think of plenty of Trump fuckups, but not any other genuine crises that happened during his presidency. That is why I asked.

I think my feelings on Trump should be clear to anyone who frequents this board. However, I do want to be fair to the guy and give credit when it is due. I'm operating under the assumption that he has handled this crisis about as well as he has handled everything else during his presidency, but I need to be sure. So I asked.

I was thinking it over and I couldn't think of a 9/11 or Corona level problem that happened during Obama's administration. Can you?

Uh... Hurricane Maria ring any bells?

We thought he ignored them simply because they're brown. Turns out it was because he's willing to ignore any issue that doesn't threaten his life or livelihood immediately.

Did anyone else think it strange that on November 7, 2018, the day after the election, the caravan that was threatening this country went mysteriously away? I mean... Just like that, it vanished. Just like Trump thought Covid-19 would vanish, only this one did.
