LET us start by stating the obvious: US President Donald Trump may be responsible for America's current political divisions and for many lousy policy decisions. But then we should not blame the Donald for the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic. No "collusion" with Russia in this instance.

Late-night television comedians have found great material to mock what seems to be Mr Trump's suggestion that he could have pursued a successful medical career.
