I often wonder what came first the COVIDIOTS or Trump

As much as Trump likes to say things with bravado he is a prisoner of his base as much of a leader of it. If he came out strongly for safety measures do you think they would have followed him or just abandoned him.

Kind of the way I look at the whole GOP. Not many leaders over there proposing ideas. Mainly people scared of the mob that put them there.
