Well you can try to convince over a hundred million people, probably well over two hundred million even, that everything’s gonna be fine, to not be concerned with his just having cleaned the President’s entire covid team out and despite the fact that the entire media’s howling that he has had a nervous breakdown or some other terrible lie on top of all the other horrific lies that attempt to corrode the public’s faith in him to begin with, that he’s on top of it and just let him handle it. Right in the middle of possibly one of the biggest panics amongst the citizenry in our nation’s history. I just don’t see it working out very well, or more likely making the situation much worse.

Wait. Are you arguing that the guy who drew the crowds Trump did during the worst of the pandemic, the guy who has an extraordinarily loyal contingent of supporters - that he would have been turned on by them because they were all scared of a virus Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow told them to be scared of? I don’t buy it.

That there was a panic Trump played a big role in creating is not an argument that he couldn’t have done anything because there was a panic. Your view of the whole shitshow is static, stuck in the paradigm of the results of Trump’s mistakes. IMO - a strong voice from the top, supported by rational (real) experts would have had a majority of Americans understanding that you don’t make a really shitty situation an order of magnitude worse because the Left doesn’t like Donald Trump.

Let me ask you - do you think the response to Covid would have taken on the breathtaking dimensions (in a bad way) that they did if Obama had been president? No way. And I don’t say that because Obama was a super duper president. He was a steaming pile of shite. My point is beyond moving mountains to treat/isolate those truly threatens by the virus, it was all political and Trump got worked.
