Here is why Trump put Pence in charge of combatting the virus

Trump was put into power by his base. Here is what they wanted:

-pack the courts with conservative judges in order to put women’s rights back to the Stone Age. Basically overturn Roe v. Wade, ban contraception then implement Handmaid’s Tale. Mission well on its way.

-bring about the Rapture. The nuclear war in Iran fizzled. Now a plague has come down the pipe so he’s done everything in his power to dismantle anything in its way. Now he’s put religiously insane, scientifically illiterate Pence in charge of making sure it happens.

Pence's head is now on the platter just waiting to be served up to his base that are pissed that they're dying, and you know it will be those in the red states that don't care about lives except those of the rich where the most people get sick and die. So he gets rid of ambitious Pence and kills Americans and destabilizes the country all while enhancing big pharma and doing PUtins' will to destroy us.

Might I even say he's dumber than he looks, and that's plenty ignorant.

He wants his own "woman" to use against the Democrats and who better than someone supported by PUtin who PRETENDS to be a Democrat but does not support the party, our ideals or the constitution.

7. If things go badly, Pence is not part of the 'family' like Jared or Stephen Miller.
