Did we need Fauci to tell us that? Trump went on record to the press, several times, claiming that COVID would fade away in a few months. He was wrong, of course, and winter 2020-21 was one of the deadliest periods.
I dunno man, a first hand account of the decisions made during the worst pandemic in 100 years might be valuable. Oh and it’s written by the dude who did more to stop the AIDS epidemic than anyone. Yeah, I’ll have more of that and less of your 💩
Dumbass literally tried to make it happen when he demanded testing slow down.
“When you do testing to that extent, you’re going to find more people, you’re going to find more cases,” Trump said. “So I said to my people, ‘Slow the testing down, please.’ They test and they test.”
Don’t forget that was after he and Bolton disbanded the acclaimed National Security Council global health unit for pandemic response and proposed budget cuts for the CDC in 2018.
You know what is insane to me? Trump, one of the shittiest human beings ever produced, could’ve been a okay to good president. All he needed was telling people it’s okay to wear a mask and the vaccine is cool. He instantly had all the weirdo conservatives on his side and everyone else would’ve been like: well even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I have said before and I will say again: We all are very lucky that Trump is too stupid to be able to get out of his own way. Had Trump just said “Look, it’s going to be OK. Like I always say, I only take on the best people, and the best people are going to guide us through the pandemic” and just listened to people who actually knew what the fuck they were talking about, he could have easily won the 2020 election in a landslide that would have been up there with the Regan/Mondale landslide in the 1980s, and Biden would have been a footnote at most.
But Trump had to let his ego take control, as it does literally every time, which means that he always must take the absolutely worst possible option available in any given situation, and he has mastered the art of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
In many ways Trump is just like Hillary Clinton squared. He’s more entertaining but they both cannot help but just constantly listen to the most incompetent advisor they can find.
Hillary would have done a MUCH better job with the pandemic. She would have (rightly) seen it as her opportunity to make a mark of historical importance on the Presidency, and started managing the shit out of it, 8 o’clock day one.

Trump lying is equally believable, given his history.
