I agree that President Trump may have reacted to the pandemic more aggressively than he considered necessary, but he decided, wisely, to err, if at all, on the side of caution.
His motivation, as always, was to do his duty and protect the American People.
He was no doubt aware of the pressure on him, from his enemies, not to show any sign of negligence or weakness. He knows these people well. He has always outthought and outmaneuvered them. He towers over them intellectually and morally, and they lack the wit even to comprehend his huge intellectual and moral advantage over them.
Trump is a super administrator, and he has met the historical odds. He will also overcome them.
The corrupt news media will never acknowledge Trump's towering intellect and morality over them. They are too corrupt to believe it even if they were honest enough to perceive it. He knows this.
Only a fool would underestimate Donald Trump.
The corrupt news media and the Democrat Party are full of fools.
IMHO, the media, owned overwhelmingly by elitist billionaires, has been running an agenda that would allow them to take control of the world - i.e. globalism. They employ either greedy or shallow minded people to further their agenda. Donald Trump has established his position as a populist, and the two sides are at mortal enmity.
It is also MHO that those billionaires are, perhaps unwittingly, helping to establish the kingdom of the antichrist. Whether they succeed is in the hands of a power much higher than any of them, but I have to consider the possibility and be prepared for the possible consequences. I have made preparations accordingly - although I might come to wish I had stashed more toilet paper. ;^)
There is a prominent China watcher - whose name escapes me at the moment - who is saying that China can use this dilemma to their advantage: to unseat the tough Mr. Trump and install the vapid Mr. Biden. The aforementioned billionaires have shown themselves as friendly to a world system more in line with China's views than America's, for whatever reason. It would seem to lead more efficiently to their dream of a globalist power system; China certainly has expressed their desire for such a system - under their rulership.
Since this virus came from China one can speculate, within the above portraiture, that this is all part of a master scheme to finally rid the world of Donald Trump and populist political movements. Such speculation would be fairly extreme with what we know now.
Still, as I say, one keeps an open mind and tries to be prepared for the more obvious eventualities.
