'I think there are problems of competence, and there are problems of confidence,' says Ron Klain
Photo: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg via Getty Images In October 2014, with the threat of Ebola looming, President Obama put Ron Klain in charge of coordinating the administration’s response. A longtime Democratic operator before he became the “Ebola czar,” Klain had previously served as the chief of staff to vice-presidents Al Gore and Joe Biden and was Gore’s lead lawyer during the 2000 election recount.
Then what’s your diagnosis for why the U.S. appears to be so ill-prepared and uncoordinated in its response, even compared with a country like Italy — which is really saying something? So if Trump had called you when reports of the disease first came out of Wuhan late last year, what would you have advised him to do?
We’re clearly now at a point where a lot of faith is being lost in the government, in these public institutions — do you worry about whether it can be regained at this point?
