I gave Trump a pass on the March and April shit show. There


was nothing we could really do to avoid that. My issue was even after March and April, he was still trying to downplay the seriousness of covid and convince people it was just like the flu, he was mocking mask usage, he was encouraging people to fight against local containment efforts, he was pushing for less testing so the numbers wouldn't look as bad, he was holding huge, indoor maskless super spreader events himself as cases were surging, and instead of providing calm, reassuring leadership and mostly letting the experts talk, he was holding press conferences himself where he would babble incoherently about injecting UV light and disinfectants.

THOSE were my criticisms of Trump's handling of the pandemic. Not the fact that we got slammed in march and April. I give him credit for pushing the vaccine development like he did, although it's hard to imagine ANY president not doing that, but he really failed miserably on the basics of being President during a crisis... don't work to create more chaos and make things worse.
