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.

100% agreed on every bit of your post.

I guess I am just getting testy after seeing weeks of trending hashtags like "#TrumpGenocide", and plenty of others similar... when any sane person knows that if Trump had immediately taken this seriously and put the country on lockdown, the exact same people crying about how he didn't respond strongly like South Korea, would be crying about how Trump is a dictator crushing all of our rights in a rise to power similar to the Third Reich. Can you imagine the reaction if he locked down millions of people and used the police/military to keep them in their homes like they did in China?

I mean, it's a huge problem with thousands of people dying and people were STILL going to beaches for Spring Break, coughing on people/food in stores on purpose, and generally just being assholes ignoring the threat (is there anything more frustrating in this outbreak than trying to talk sense into your parents?). 

Trump has continued to excel at being crappy, but even if he didn't I pose that our current situation wouldn't be any better because for better or worse, we are Americans. We don't take well to people telling us what to do, even if it's in our best interest.
