ADADLeadership is important, and President Trump will have on his record what he did and didn’t do in the early stages of this particular crisis. The Obama administration ended up dealing with a series of virus threats, and that experience shaped the transition handoff to the Trump administration three years ago. One case where such policymaking worked better was in the Bush White House after 9/11.
