This is true. Trump was the Chief Executive. His job is to take advice from experts, lay the groundwork so resources are pulling in the same direction, and ensuring that appropriate resouces and funds are allocated.
And like it or not, Fauci, Birx, and others were the ones recommended to Trump and nominated. We have seen that many of these lousy recommendations were made by deceptive people who in retrospect, clearly did not have the interests of the Administration or its policies in the forefront.
I never ONCE heard President Trump even hint that vaccinations, once developed, should be mandatory, or that the country should be shut down. His job was, to set up the field for a race to develop a vaccine and make sure the resources were available to incentivize it.
His job was not to develop the vaccine, but to enable the "trusted" experts to do so.
All the people attacking Trump on this are the same mindless douchebags who adore policy wonks like Bill Clinton or Al Gore who claimed to have a handle on the details of things from top to bottom.
That makes for a lousy Chief Executive in most cases.
