“If they wanted to make the claim the left and Dems are wrongly trying to blame Trump, I get that and agree completely. But sheesh - Trump hurt himself with his early comments which actually contradicted his actions.”
I agree - and a Deep State setup would have been VERY RISKY for them, as all Trump would have had to do was respond like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and he’s be a national hero, to EVERYONE. In fact, the President of Taiwan’s approval ratings are through the roof there...as she found someone medically qualified to lead the fight against the virus and then got out of the way.
Trump, instead, seemed to go to his financial advisers who convinced him that once you calm the mass panic, all will be fine. Trump tried that...didn’t work
Maybe he forgot to pray about it at first.
