Trump tried to capitalize off Covid. He appointed a White House Covid response team, then shoved them all aside to put himself in front of the cameras every day.The interesting bit, is that Trump had a decent response early on... he shut down travel and seemed to be taking it seriously. But as soon as the press started hyping it, he pivoted. The one thing that Trump gets is that people are fed up with the liberal media, so he instinctively went against them. It wasn't, necessarily, a bad bet. Most of their "sky is falling" nonsense adds up to nothing. But in this case, it was a bet he lost.
And as in all things he does, his idiocy was exposed. Let's inject bleach and lights into people! See if that works!
He refused to allow Americans on cruise ships to come ashore because that would make our numbers look bad. All Trump ever gives a fuck about are "his" numbers. Fuck those Americans who need to get off a plague ship and into quarantine before they catch it and die.
What a callous, evil, motherfucker.
America First, my ass.
