The pandemic was a national crisis, a nationwide emergency. Trump's hands were not tied. It was an issue of law not the tenth amendment. He could have requested congress pass laws that gave him the power to institute a national quarantine, national guidelines to manage the outbreak, etc during a national emergency. Many of the states asked for help conveying they did not have the resources and had no experience relating to criteria for a plan.

In addition, he could have embraced the responsibility to establish a nationwide plan based on the input of his expert scientists for the states to apply and pressured any states that chose not to comply, including state sovereignty resistance. The states asked for help early on to centralize purchasing of needed supplies and distribute according to need. He didn't want that hot potato and initially tossed it back to the states. When the fed. gov. decided to do something they created a bidding war and delays getting shipments to the states. I think it is perfectly clear Trump has failed the country from the very beginnings of the pandemic and continues to do so.

I think Maruzo is very sincere. To say or imply Maruzo is disingenuous reflects on your judgment not his.
