It's been pointed out that Trump often contradicted his health officials. He tweeted liberate this and that... Defying local authorities who were truly leading our ragtag response to the pandemic. That was an attemtp to whip all the personally accountable types into a frenzy and put pressure on local officials. All the while pushing reopening because the cure is worse than the disease... And his big accomplishment is presiding over an economy. So the federal government comes up with a phased reopening plan which it immediately disregards. On top of that, he turned around and told Georgia they were opening too quickly.
To me his most unforgivable "mistake" was taking to Twitter to rally his base. Personal accountability is great, but when live in a time when people fly flags at their house with the president's name on them... Some of them even display him as some armed badass on a tank. So a good sized portion of this country will somehow decide that what the guy with the real estate degree and bad TV show should be listened to over some doctor from Brooklyn they never heard of til now. That guy's (the TV star) words and deeds obviously hold weight with those people. He's done them a disservice, and let them and all of us down with his handling of the Coronavirus.
This is a well thought out post. My point remains the Left has something to gain by making this as much Trump's fault as they can and the Right must try to down play it. The truth is most likely somewhere in the middle.
