DJT stood back when he was being pushed hard to declare a national lockdown. He left it up to the state governments. Some used it as an excuse to kill off thousands of nursing home patients and get them off the state/city expense rolls, some minimized the lockdown and came through it better. Lots of it, though was just fake and mostly chasing federal dollars because hospitals got rewarded for reporting “cases” and COVID deaths. So that guy who crashed his motorcycle at 110 was a COVID fatality. Essentially everybody that died in the hospital was listed as COVID for a couple of months and that contributed to the fake “second wave.”

Yes. I guess I am a little more forgiving when he is the president, and is presented with a lot of false and misleading information by a lot of people who should have known (and often did) know better. This was well outside of his wheelhouse, and if it was as lethal as presented to him, it would be on him.

No one had his back, and the media did an amazing job of scaring half the men and 75% of the women. To me the trap was when the media and the Faucis emphasized the need for testing the need for more ventilators. The testing spiked the "case" rate of people who were asymptomatic, and the ventilators just made things worse for a lot of people. I don't know who would have handled it better.

The election complicates things, and cannot be ignored. Even the bad guys did not think through all of the side-effects of the scare-mongering. (e.g. their own voters afraid to go to the polls)
