He wasn’t wearing a mask or social distancing. Hosting rallies. Herman Cain for one.
The science by now has proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that masks and social distancing delayed herd immunity, from a 3 month epidemic to lasting 3 years, and caused 10 times the death rate.
When there is not an effective vaccines like there clearly is not for covid, then the lowest death toll is to accelerate infection among the least vulnerable.
Read up on how General Washington did that to the Continental Army over deliberate smallpox variolation in 1777.

An estimated 90% of deaths in the Continental Army were caused by disease, and the most vicious were variants of smallpox, according to the U.S. Library of Congress.
That's why Gen. Washington made the controversial decision to order the mass inoculation of his soldiers, an effort to combat spread of the disease that was at the time a major deterrent to enlistments and posed the risk of debilitating his army and tipping the balance of power against America's first warfighters.
According to the U.S. Library of Congress's Science, Technology, and Business Division, the smallpox inoculations began Jan. 6, 1777, for all of Washington's forces who came through the then-capital of Philadelphia, and through Morristown, New Jersey, following the Battle of Princeton.
Smallpox is a potentially fatal disease that starts with fever and vomiting and an outbreak of ulcers in the mouth and a skin rash. The skin rash turns into highly contagious fluid-filled blisters. The fatality rate was very high.
Inoculations were far more primitive - and dangerous - than today's vaccinations. The most common method was to cut a person's skin and rub the minor incision with a thread or cloth contaminated with a less-virulent version of smallpox, which in this case was a strain known as "variola."

Variolation is not vaccination, but instead is deliberate infection with the least fatal strain available.
