there's also a lot of hindsight going on here when Trump is criticized for his COVID response. in hindsight, i think he could have done things better or different, but in real time? i dont know man. he seemed to balance things pretty well, in my opinion. we had suspicions early on that the whole thing was being overblown, but we didnt really KNOW for sure. he definitely didnt go all-in on restrictions and masks and all of that.

my point is that while in my subjective criteria, i definitely dont give him an A for his COVID stuff, but he definitely at least gets a C.

It might be hindsight for you and loads of others, but not for everybody. There was real time evidence of what was going on and it was out in the public. Even in these threads.

IMO Trump knew. He's the f'n president, I've got to believe he was more informed than any of us and if you go back and listen to his comments early on - "we can't let the cure be worse than the disease" ... "the country wasn't built to ever be shutdown" (paraphrasing) he had the right idea to start with. But he was criticized for all of that, and he ended up giving in to the establishment/Dems in hopes of salvaging his reelection.
