Honestly, there's not a lot Trump could have done to prevent the spread. Viruses are viruses. But talking about how great you are months after getting rid of pandemic experts and while promoting people going out it kind of crappy. Likewise, talking about how few people have it when there's no way to test for it is also crappy.
Trump fails at lots of things, but not being crappy. He excels at that.
Well, his first suggestion which I remember was to threaten to close the border with Mexico. As if that would have done anything. But, instead he could have ordered 14 day quarantine for travelers from the high risk countries a lot sooner instead of calling it a hoax, claiming the numbers were false, or making idiotic suggestions like closing the border with Mexico.
