Abstract
This article examines the Trump Administration's inability to mount a
timely and effective response to the COVIDrCE19 outbreak, despite ample warning. Through an empirical exploration guided by three explanatory perspectivesrCopsychological, bureaurCEorganizational, and agendarCEpoliticalrCodeveloped from the strategic surprise, public administration, and crisis management literature, the authors seek to
shed light on the mechanisms that contributed to the underestimation of
the coronavirus threat by the Trump Administration and the slow and
mismanaged federal response. The analysis highlights the extent to which
the factors identified by previous studies of policy surprise and
failure in other security domains are relevant for health security. The
paper concludes by addressing the crucial role of executive leadership
as an underlying factor in all three perspectives and discussing why the
US president is ultimately responsible for ensuring a healthy policy
process to guard against the pathologies implicated in the federal government's subrCEoptimal response to the COVIDrCE19 crisis.
It seems tragically lame that Trump is worried about Tylenol.
