1. Yes he did nothing about the virus and said it would "go away & infect a few people"
2. Not wearing a mask in public appearances, "emboldens others to not wear a mask.." Others think
"if Trump doesn't need to wear one, why should I?"
... (Trump is obviously specially protected in other ways, it seems.) but his "leadership in not wearing a mask" is very stupid. If he issued warnings and said, Yes, I will always wear one, it might keep some people from getting the virus.(some people).and prevent some deaths and some spread of this killing disease. It is obvious, Trump does not care. about the consequences of these actions.
... I also suspect he has been told about this exact idea,(above paragraph) and just refuses to do anything about it. He doesn't care at all.

See, I'm tough and fearless. You can be tough and fearless like me. Don't worry about getting sick and dying. That only happens to the weak and the inferior -- you know, the ones who are trying to take away your freedom.

Unemployment checks do not last for ever. Then those people will be desperate, become alcoholics, drug addicts,
divorces will increase, domestic abuse will increase, crime will increase, and without health insurance more will die.
Very tough times lie ahead!

It goes on and on. The man is a stochastic terrorist, and there will be more. He is a sadist, and he enjoys the feeling of power over life and death. Plus he enjoys the fear
