To be honest, Trump was the one who held up the 15 days to slow the spread sign. He stood there every day behind Fauci at the press conferences with his hands folded like he was at church. I like Trump and voted for him 3 times but the Covid shutdown was the worst idea in American history. It destroyed us.
Trump was deceived and held hostage by the “experts”. He was presented with computer projections of millions of deaths unless mitigation protocols were imposed. Even Trump, despite Russia Russia Russia and Ukraine impeachment couldn’t grasp that a CCP-deep state conspiracy to get rid of him was occurring.
I don’t blame Trump for not knowing much about virology or clinical trials. He could have learned more though. He deferred to the “experts” not really knowing the experts were scumbags that manipulated data and information in large part to derail his agenda and remove him from office in 4 years or less. Fauci is among the worst and has been for 40 years. But how would Trump really know that. Trump thought he was given that position because he was a competent and compassionate scientist. Trump has learned that lesson 10 fold.
He didn’t shut things down. The governors did. In fact, NYS made it a point to tell Trump he couldn’t control the states.
“the Covid shutdown was the worst idea in American history. It destroyed us.”
Governors, not Trump, were the decision makers when it came to shutdowns. Noem shut nothing down. DeSantis did, but only for a short time. It varied, state by state.
Pence pushed that from Fauci and Brix.
You missed the confession of Bicks/Brits/that byatch who worked with Fauci. She admitted that DJT gave her direct orders on how to deal with WuhanFlu issues and she deliberately disobeyed. Bragged about it. As bad as Miley working with the CCP.
He was betrayed on all levels. In a private company such would have been perp walked to the door and had their box thrown at them on the stoop.
