John Legend has blasted US President Donald Trump for his handling of the coronavirus crisis, criticising his “incompetence, his selfishness, his short-sightedness and his inability to co-ordinate a real national response”.
The singer, who backed Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primaries, said he blamed the president for the fact that the US has such a high death rate.
Legend also criticised Mr Trump for suggesting that injecting bleach and disinfectants could be an effective way of tackling the disease.
