They said that because people were hoarding face masks that were needed by health care workers and first responders. They told the public not to go buy them because these people needed them more. We had nurses and doctors making their own masks instead of using ones that scientifically were made for their jobs.
You have got to be kidding me?
He has mocked and ridiculed people for wearing masks.
He has demonized scientists who have talked about the severity of the pandemic.
He has held large gatherings (rallies) in hot spots knowing his worshipers would love that he's balking against science.
He's openly supported violence against state politicians who have tried mandating masks and social distancing.
When the pandemic first started, he claimed it was nothing but a liberal hoax.
His worshipers STILL believe all of these things. Some of them have gone as far as planned violence against politicians who try to do the right things. I don't think he has EVER condemned their actions.
This question from you is absolutely amazing. He needed to be the leader and example for the country. Instead, he used the pandemic for nothing more than political gain.
You are correct. The public health officials blatently lied about the efficacy of masks and put the public in harms way. There was a much better solution to that crisis and the people we were supposed to trust chose the wrong route. It’s insane you don’t see that, but again oranges man bad I guess.
I would ask once more, what tangible policy did Trump not put into place that you or the experts wanted? Remember now, the wizards of smart already told us in the summer that mass gatherings were now ok as long as they were for the right reason.
Trump did not openly support violence against state politicians. But go ahead and throw out false allegations because ya know, Orange man bad.
its also false, even left wing fact checkers like Politifact have agreed, that Trump never said COVID-19 was a hoax. But again, Claim false things because orange man bad
The militia idiots in Michigan actually hated Trump too as shown by their social media posts. But you don’t add that because it goes against your narrative.
And BTW...every single Democrat governor in a hard hit state early in the Pandemic praised the Trump Admin’s response to their needs. It’s funny how their tune changed once the election season came around.
I have agreed that the mask communication was terrible and it could be why he lost the election. But policy wise, what else should he have done?
