Sorry - did I read you correctly? You're defending Donald Trump's response to the pandemic? The evidence is overwhelmingly against you.
"Trump went days without mentioning the pandemic other than to celebrate progress on vaccines. The president by then had abdicated his responsibility to manage the public health crisis and instead used his megaphone almost exclusively to spread misinformation in a failed attempt to overturn the results of the election he lost to President-elect Joe Biden.
“I think he’s just done with covid,” said one of Trump’s closest advisers who, like many others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly discuss internal deliberations and operations. “I think he put it on a timetable and he’s done with covid. . . . It just exceeded the amount of time he gave it.”"
"Trump may have tweeted that wearing a mask was now “patriotic.” But meanwhile he counselled that coronavirus is “totally harmless” in ninety-nine percent of cases, predicted that the virus will “sort of just disappear,” and – in a reality-bending assertion – claimed “large portions of our country” are now “corona-free.”
“Masks cause problems, too,” Trump said soon after his heralded first mask use, in explaining why he opposed a national mask mandate. And on July 27 Trump shared a video (a “must watch,” he said) which simply advises: “You don’t need masks.”"
Thanks for providing additional evidence that Trump tried to keep Americans calm rather than panicking and creating hundreds of thousands of excess deaths due to suicide, OD and untreated medical conditions such as heart attack, stroke and cancer. He hasn't been 100% consistent, and his sponsorship of Warp Speed was a huge mistake, but he tried to resist the overwhelming pressure of the establishment. India has finally got it right. They used Hydroxychloroquine to save lives until something better was discovered, Ivermectin. They are now distributing it free to anybody suspected of being exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Their IFR is one of the lowest in the world.
