Hindsight is always 20/20, but when asked by a reporter if he would have done anything differently, our leader replied with No.
We had scientists and researchers in China but our leader cut the budget for CDC, and NIH. He stated that he was a "Business" man and didn't like all these people in the budget. I know there are plenty of people that don't agree with this, but this is America, and we can agree to disagree.

These are all on record. His ineptitude in this crisis is not in dispute.
Even with the covid-19 crisis the re-election is still his to lose. All he had to do was get out of himself and let the experts handle it.
But no, he had to show he’s in charge, and he had to make it much worse than it had any reason to be.
