Next to nothing?? That is all he did while constantly denying this was going to be a problem.

Worried about TDS - look in the mirror.

Fox news was his biggest cheerleader saying the Dems. where doing this to try to impeach him.

if you want to say he should have discussed hand washing and social
distancing sooner, that’s fair.

what else should he have done, that would have been reasonable at
that time?

TDS? I give credit where it’s due, and criticism where it’s due. Is that really what you do, or spence, wdmso, GS, or Pete?

How about the most important thing - being honest with the American people?

The Trump* administration would never lie or hide anything from the people.

The White House ordered federal health officials to treat top-level coronavirus meetings as classified, an unusual step that restricted information and hampered the U.S. government’s response to the contagion, according to four Trump* administration officials.

I said that he took the correct first step and then dropped the ball. The nearly two months of delay in test development and deployment is not excusable. When the leader of the government spends months claiming it is a hoax and fake news it trickles down thru the ranks.
The world has video of him making light of it, over and over again.

As I have said time and time again, Trump* gives himself plenty of credit, he gave himself a 10 on the virus response.
Why do you feel compelled to obediently bow and insist that all others praise him?
