Had Trump openly opposed the lockdowns, the MSM would have been calling him an opponent of science, a Luddite, a religious fanatic. They would have raised the alarm even further, and then used the BLM riots and the already growing crime wave to fuel a real insurrection, not the fake one they’ve been hyping up since 1/6/21. It was clear that he wanted the lockdowns over ASAP. But mass hysteria is a hard thing to combat, and mass hysteria was all the rage back then, stoked and fed by Dems, BLM and the MSM.
But if Trump had not sent out at least one round of stimulus, the self-locked-down workers and those forced to stay home by the local governments would have gone completely ape. As you know, many of them are still at home.
