What mistakes has Trump made with pandemic?

Being A Republican.

I think a lot of the messaging was a little misleading at first but I think Trump was truly playing it down to prevent panic.

his only mistake was downplaying it early on, speaking out of his butt about "heat will probably make it go away"......those kind of casual comments were a mistake (but that's Trump sometimes), even though he was the first world leader to put a ban on travelers from China coming in...

Supposedly some dipshit report about a simulation ran last year that was dismissed. Will look for “credible link.” Credible meaning some soyboy site on a soapbox crying

ETA: NYTimes
That scenario, code-named “Crimson Contagion” and imagining an influenza pandemic, was simulated by the Trump administration’s Department of Health and Human Services in a series of exercises that ran from last January to August.

The simulation’s sobering results — contained in a draft report dated October 2019 that has not previously been reported — drove home just how underfunded, underprepared and uncoordinated the federal government would be for a life-or-death battle with a virus for which no treatment existed

The only mistake I feel is not putting the media in its place sooner.

only mistake he has made so far that I see is he has known there is a 100% cure for corona and he should be holding 3 news conferences a day telling everyone about this because the MSM is still denying there is a cure to continue spreading fear

let everyone know in clear language there is a cure and pharmacies are working overtime to make it. that alone would ease most of the panic to let people know you might get infected but its 100% cureable

1) He's a Republican
2) He listened to the always failing CDC
3) After that, all good, thus the move by the left to his PC nonsense.

I love Trump but I hate the response from him and pretty much every world leader. It's a race to one-up each other with increasingly tight restrictions that freeze civilization in its place. I get that as a leader you can't possibly go up there and say anything that would suggest that you won't do everything in your power to leave nobody behind, even if it means completely tanking the economy.

Just a shite situation all around.

I give Trump props for two things: shutting down travel to China early, and letting states handle things on their own. I'm pretty opposed to everything else. But I know full well that virtually every world leader is spouting the same crap right now so whatcha gonna do.

Mistake 1 was being Orange

Mistake 2 was being male

Mistake 3 was being bad.

Not using his jobs magic wand to make masks, gloves and ventilators appear.

Being too positive, instead of donning sackcloth and playing dirges during his newsconferences.
