Trump was the biggest sap the Uniparty ever saw come along. He rode their advice to the very end. I love the man and will vote for him every opportunity I get but Good Lord, he dropped the ball on this whole catastrophe.
That's a very charitable reading. You really think he's that dumb? He still says his creation of the vaccine is the greatest accomplishment in human history.
Based on the very early warnings he got from both NSC’s Matt Pottinger, and that lovely piece of work, Peter Navarro (go figure), he had full control of this and blew it, and not only that, by downplaying it and mocking masks and other mitigations, he opened America up to a much more rapid spread than it would have otherwise been if he had truly led and mobilized. (”But my numbers will rise! (i.e. infection numbers) and I will look bad!” — near direct quotes of the man), praising Xi on his handling of it, also appeased and caved. NO THANKS
Prepared to give any folks involved in dealing with this a break.
There was no rule book to refer to.....and that includes businesses trying to carry on despite the limitations.
>> Trump was the biggest sap
And did you expect Jeff Sessions would be so feckless?
And if Trump had gone hammer and tongs against the Deep State on covid, as the pandemic was unfolding which would have turned up the hysteria a thousand fold, would you have considered that a responsible thing for a President to do?
You could tell he was going against his instincts.... but, yea.... He ‘followed his science team”... and it hurt.
