It’s like you guys want him to come out on the podium and say, “the virus is coming, the virus is coming, run for your lives”!
Again, unrealistic.

It is not unrealistic to have hoped that Trump do the right thing and adhere to his adviser's warning and take this thing serious.
I'll give you an example of why his action would have mattered, instead of like you said, it was always going to kill this many people and nothing we did would have mattered.
First of, if he had raised warning one week, just one week earlier than when the administration ultimately decided to start pushing for the social distancing mandates, and we're not even talking about the use of mask yet, he could have saved the lives of 10s of thousands.
That to me is not useless and is well worth the risk of creating his so-called "panic".
And these forecasts aren't just made up by me. It is publicly mentioned and agreed on by many, many scientists.
But he did not bother. In fact he publicly wished that it would just go away.
That is not the thinking of some guy in charge who knew that serious damage is coming and we need to prepare ourselves.
That is the thinking of a man who's never bothered to fight for others or cared for others one single iota.
He does not care for you, Happy. Get that through your head already.
Republican or not, he does not care about your well being, or the well being of the people under his care.
He cares of this new found power he has, and his only goal in office is to make sure he gets another 4 years of it.
That said, your wishful thinking that he just doesn't want to "create panic" can not be further from the truth.
He doesn't not have respect for science. Otherwise, any sane human who gets intelligence report back in February that this is not an ordinary flu, and can very well cause massive infection and death in the country would have heeded the scientists warning and DONE SOMETHING USEFUL about it.
People keep finding excuses for him. As if to justify their voting for him back in 2016, or for justifying their faltering belief that their original investment in him as a leader is not shamefully wasted.
But rather everyone else just didn't see the genius and wisdom of this con man.
That's all he is, really. A con man.
And if you still insist that his real goal was not to "create panic". Then you're very far away from reality.
