Tim in NY calls to defend Trump on coronavirus

Tim from New York called in to my SiriusXM show to defend Donald Trump’s response to coronavirus, focusing predictably on Trump’s claim that he shut travel from China to stop the virus. When I debunked that and asked him about Trump and testing, he claimed Trump did ramp up testing adequately. And when that was debunked, and after I raised other issues, he eventually switched to…Bill Clinton. It’s a classic Trump cult call. Let me know your thoughts.(A reminder that if you’re not a SiriusXM subscriber, through May 31 you can listen free to my SiriusXM program, “The Michelangelo Signorile Show” — live each weekday, 3-6 ET — and to a ton of other talk and music shows and channels by downloading the SiriusXM app and streaming on your phone, or you can listen online here.
