This is absolutely insane… and it’s also pretty much par for the course for Donald Trump‘s White House, honestly!
Ben Carson, who is a former presidential candidate himself and Trump’s current secretary for Housing and Urban Development, went on ABC News‘ This Week on Sunday morning to talk about the coronavirus scare, and specifically a virus-stricken cruise ship that’s coming to port in California later today.

Speaking live on national TV with host George Stephanopoulos, Carson seemed completely uninformed in answering simple questions about the virus — like, when Stephanopoulos asked about what the plan was for the cruise ship and its sick passengers.
With all the energy of a sloth, Carson stammered through a concerning, rambling, and incoherent explanation of how the plans have not been “fully formulated” yet — despite the cruise ship landing in mere hours — and that he doesn’t want “to preview” any plans before they become, umm, formulated.
At one point, Carson left the poor ABC host nearly speechless when he said (below):
“I don’t want to preview the plan right now. I think it needs to all come from a solitary source. We shouldn’t have 16 people saying what the plan is, particularly when it hasn’t been fully formulated.”
Holy s**t! Are we ever in trouble.
