Trump’s support for the lockdowns did not last long at all. He started trying to get the governors to relax them.
It is odd how people forget the frothing hostility that Trump caught from all sides. Does anyone remember the press conferences Trump had? The reporters were seething with hatred and accusations against what Trump wanted to do — to make medicine available instead of vaccines. He was ridiculed.
Remember the taunting over the ventilators?
If Trump had done what DeSantis and others so boldly proclaim what they would have done, with their 20/20 hindsight, Trump would have been declared owner of every single death from the virus. He would have been impeached by the Republicans.
And, people forget that many more people died under the Biden administration that Trump’s.
I recall trump wanted to reopen by easter and fauxchi and the libs called him wreckless and basically a murderer.
He was definitely between a rock and hard place.
