The Trump administration seemingly at first tried to make Covid seem to be a minor thing.
There was a lot of chaos - not any policy discussions on how to deal with supply shortages in the public heath area.
So we didn't test quickly enough, and, we didn't realize we had real healthcare shortages soon enough.
And all of this sat, along with disorderly messaging, and then, when suddenly the hospitals filled up, and soon state governors fought with one another in the so called free-market system, for whatever required ventilators and gloves and gowns they could purchase at almost any ungodly price, in order to protect healthworkers, and the people who lived in their state .
Hell, they had the stuff pulled in by plane and ships from all over of the globe, sight unseen, or buyer beware as they say...


Hell, there's a lot of shit Trump did that was wrong. With Trump you had a president who care about himself, his own ego,
and not much else.
