Both states have had a decreasing amount of cases for the last couple of weeks. Yes, look at this forum. Leftists all over the place are saying Trump was responsible for a worldwide virus, even citing loss of jobs to boot. All the lies about Trump mishandling the virus, yet nobody can point out to anything he DID to back up their claim. Forget what he said. Nobody pays attention to stupid shit like that.
As for Woodhead's book, Fauci was asked about his claim. His response was that everything he and the President talked about regarding the virus was timely and properly relayed to the public. Furthermore when Trump was having daily press briefings, he often handed over the mic to Fauci, Brix, and other high level professionals that deal with stuff like this. If you want to see the Fauci interview, just ask. I have it right here in my bookmarks.
