Popovich questioned Donald Trump's leadership and called him 'deranged' for doing the least possible to unite the country during the crisis. "It’s unbelievable. If Trump had a brain, even if it was 99% cynical, he would come out and say something to unify people. But he doesn’t care about bringing people together. Even now. That’s how deranged he is. It’s all about him. It’s all about what benefits him personally. It’s never about the greater good. And that’s all he’s ever been," Popovich told The Nation.
