[See NewsBusters for more.] Easter weekend is always a meaningful time of the year and it may mean even more for people this year as the COVID-19 pandemic forces us to confront our physical mortality. If you are MSNBC's Ali Velshi, however, this holy week means more than previous years' because it helps serve as a reminder that President Trump is bad at his job.

Towards the end of his Saturday show, Velshi reminded viewers, "You may recall, that a few weeks back Donald Trump declared himself a wartime president," quoting a Susan Rice op-ed in the New York Times he continued, "Unfortunately, few of his actions display the leadership we need from a wartime commander-in-chief who is confronting a viral version of World War III."
