Showing Original Post only (View all)Why do you think he did it. [View all]
Providing leadership for COVID is such soft ball for ANY President ...You just have to listen to the experts, be forthright and people will rally around you ... had Trump done the NORMAL thing- I bet his electoral prospects would be different. Instead he fought everyone and carved a disastrous path that he forced America to take.
It defies logic. Question is why?

There could have been more than one driver , I get it -- but choose what you think is the primary reason for his behavior.

He is clearly a madman. But I also think he has an irrational fear of looking "weak"

He has investments in Remdesivir and Regeneron. He makes money on people's deaths.
