Trump's mishandling of the pandemic was imo purposeful.
He was privy to the very best information regarding the virus and the potential danger. Being a one trick pony (managing by division) he had to make the pandemic a political matter rather than a matter of national health. In his ego-centric mind he saw the pandemic not as an opportunity to do the right thing but as something to be branded to what he perceived as to his benefit.
In other words, he never believed that performing the basic blocking and tackling of the job of president was either important to his success or interesting. [Post edited by Chuck Taylor at 05/10/2021 10:27AM]
