Trump Says ‘Not Sure I Could Have Done Any More’ As COVID Rages Across The Country

President Donald Trump on Monday night said he doesn’t think there’s any more he could have done to improve his performance since he took office more than three years ago.
“I’m not sure I could have done any more,” Trump told WRAL, a local news station in North Carolina, where he is expected to accept the Republican bid for a second term in August. The President has said he will formally confirm those details by early next week.
But the President has been widely criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike for his mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has quickly spun out of control in the United States, More than 4.2 million cases have been reported in the United States and the virus has killed more than 146,000 people in the U.S. according to the CDC. On Friday, White House coronavirus task force expert Dr. Deborah Birx compared the dire situation in California, Florida and Texas to “three New Yorks,” as the virus spread like wildfire in those states. The President on Monday countered those statements, claiming that the situation in those hotspots is beginning to improve and they’re doing “very well.”

You could have left the CDC intact instead of disbanding it during your first year. It actually took you more effort to disband the CDC than it would have if you just left it alone, you idiot.
Then, all you would have had to do was deploy this team of experts back in Jan/Feb, and they would have done the job they were trained to do, and contained this thing before it ever even became a thing.
YOU'RE A MISERABLE FAILURE WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE YOUR OWN TODDLER IMPULSES, LET ALONE A GODDAMNED COUNTRY. RESIGN NOW.
that sounds pretty accurate.
Let's just list some of the things he had done.
1) Calling it a hoax
2) Claiming it will disappear like magic
3) Pushing useless drug (hydroxychloroquine) that we now spend millions on to acquire and no use for it
4) Demanding economy opened up before we got the virus under any sort of control
5) Demanding kids go back to school during a pandemic
6) Not wearing a mask until very recently, which I am sure led at least some of his followers to refuse to wear masks
7) Holding several rallies with large number of people not social distancing and most not wearing masks. How is Herman Cain doing, by the way?
The list goes on
