Alright, let’s get straight to it: Donald Trump has a knack for failing three basic tests every decent leader should ace. Time and time again, when tragedy strikes, the guy manages to screw up accuracy, decency, and credibility like it’s some kind of warped art form. His most recent fuck-up with the New Orleans Truck attack is just the latest in a long list of disasters, so let’s take a stroll down memory lane and look at all the times he’s flunked these three tests.

In the wake of the New Orleans Truck attack, where lives were lost and chaos unfolded, Trump pulled his usual bullshit trifecta.

Within hours of the attack, Trump was spouting misinformation faster than you can say “Fact Check.” He claimed the attacker was a “known Islamic extremist” before any authorities confirmed the suspect’s identity or motive. Turns out, the suspect wasn’t even tied to international terrorism. But does that stop Trump? Of course not.

Instead of offering condolences or showing empathy for the victims, Trump took the opportunity to push his anti-immigration agenda. He called for “stronger borders” and said this is why America needs “hardline measures.” Real fucking classy, Donny.

By now, it’s clear that when tragedy strikes, Trump’s word means jack shit. People have stopped believing anything he says because he’s been caught lying so many damn times. His response to this attack? Another nail in the coffin of public trust.

Who could forget Trump’s abysmal performance after the Charlottesville white supremacist rally in 2017? A woman was murdered, and the nation was in shock. How did Trump handle it?

Trump claimed there were “very fine people on both sides.” Uh, excuse me? One side was chanting Nazi slogans, Don. There’s no fucking “both sides” to that.

Instead of unequivocally condemning white supremacy, Trump tried to play the “everyone’s to blame” card. It was spineless, tone-deaf, and downright indecent.

His mealy-mouthed response left everyone—left, right, and center—shaking their heads. When a president can’t clearly condemn Nazis, what’s left to trust?

When Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017, Trump’s response was a masterclass in how not to lead during a disaster.

Trump repeatedly downplayed the death toll, calling it “fake news” when studies showed thousands had died. He claimed his administration had done a “fantastic job,” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Who can forget the fucking paper towel toss? Instead of treating the situation with the gravity it deserved, Trump turned it into a photo op. Puerto Ricans needed aid, not a sideshow.

His constant lies about the response—from the number of deaths to the level of aid provided—eroded whatever shreds of credibility he might’ve had left.

If there were a gold medal for failing all three tests simultaneously over an extended period, Trump would win it for his COVID-19 response.

Trump pushed endless misinformation about the virus. From claiming it would disappear “like a miracle” to suggesting people inject bleach, his statements were a fucking hazard to public health.

Rather than uniting the country, Trump spent the pandemic attacking political rivals, downplaying the severity of the crisis, and making everything about himself. Tens of thousands were dying, and he was bitching about TV ratings.

By the time vaccines rolled out, many Americans didn’t trust the government’s word on safety—in large part because Trump had spent months undermining scientists and experts.

January 6, 2021, was one of the darkest days in modern American history, and Trump’s role in it was nothing short of disgraceful.

Trump repeatedly pushed the “Big Lie” that the 2020 election was stolen. This baseless bullshit fueled the anger and paranoia that led to the Capitol attack.

Instead of condemning the violence as it unfolded, Trump told the rioters, “We love you. You’re very special.” Are you fucking kidding me? People died, and this was his response.

Even after the riot, Trump continued to double down on his lies about the election. His refusal to accept reality shattered whatever remained of his credibility.

In 2019, after a mass shooting in El Paso, Trump’s response was as tone-deaf as ever.

Rather than addressing the real issues—like gun control or white nationalist terrorism—Trump blamed video games. Yeah, because that’s the fucking problem.

Instead of focusing on the victims and their families, Trump used the tragedy as a platform to push his usual agenda. His visit to El Paso felt more like a campaign rally than an act of compassion.

By ignoring the actual root causes of the attack, Trump once again proved he couldn’t be relied on to lead in times of crisis.

After the 2018 shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Trump’s response was predictably shitty.

Trump suggested that armed guards at the synagogue could have prevented the tragedy, ignoring the fact that the attacker was heavily armed and intent on violence.

Rather than showing genuine empathy, Trump turned the focus to his own agenda, using the tragedy to argue for more guns. It was callous and opportunistic.

His divisive rhetoric about immigrants and minorities leading up to the attack didn’t help his case. Many pointed out that his words had contributed to the climate of hate that enabled such violence.

Donald Trump’s presidency will be remembered for many things, but his repeated failure to rise to the occasion during times of tragedy stands out as one of his most damning legacies. Time and time again, he has flunked the tests of accuracy, decency, and credibility, leaving Americans with a leader they couldn’t trust when it mattered most.

From Charlottesville to COVID-19, from Puerto Rico to the Capitol riot, Trump has shown that he’s incapable of providing the steady, compassionate, and truthful leadership that tragedy demands. His response to the New Orleans Truck attack is just the latest chapter in a long, depressing story of failure. And honestly? America deserves so much fucking better.
