I don’t think President Donald Trump handled the Coronavirus perfectly. But neither has anybody else.

IMHO telling his people not to let it dominate them was magnificent.

How close were Trump’s actions as President in a pandemic to the sort of conduct taught in a technologically very different era in Exodus 7-11?

I thought President Trump did a great job. Especially with Operation Warp Speed to get vaccines out in record time. That said, his communicating should have been better. I know, hostile media in collusion with Big Tech made this impossible. But this was where Trump needed to pull a Reagan and speak to the American People as he did during the Challenger explosion.

A bit of an understatement... After an outstanding first month, communications were a disaster. Fighting with and contradicting your own task force, no cohesive message, circus like briefings and statements like "it's just going to disappear". Trump loved fighting with the press, but this was a battle he lost. He really should have let Pence run the task force press gaggles.

Trump was Archie Bunker.

The Great Communicator was any much loved dad from any film or tv series anyone has ever seen.

That was a good thing. And a bad thing. Some soccer moms who voted for Trump in 2016 in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia decided that Trump was "too mean" so they voted for Joe Biden. That may had been the election right there.

I am aware that there were shenangians that were happening in those urban strongholds that were controlled by the Democratic Party. But if Trump was able to appeal to them, it would not be this close in the first place.

Joe Biden pulled off a con job that he was a "moderate" so he could get enough independents to vote for him. None of the other Democrats were able to do it. We know Hillary can't. Bernie Sanders? No way. Mayor Pete. Too gay and too leftist. Kamala Harris? She's from California so she would not appeal to voters in battleground states. So that just leaves Joe Biden who grew up in blue collar Scranton, Pennsylvania. Guess what. He fooled you guys. So this is the result.

‘How did you rate Tulsi Gabbard?’

I rate her ‘hot’; I also rate her unelectable for the democrat power brokers...

she was poison to them, but if she ran as an independent, she;d make some waves...
