12. The Trump regime was also completely unrealistic about the pandemic.

Anyone remember how Trump wanted churches open for Easter, which was literally about a month after everything was shut down? Pandemics take years to resolve, and Trump is out there at his moronic press conferences promising miracles to his gullible followers. By the way, that also had a nice little ancillary effect of further radicalizing the already-radicalized churches in this country when they found out they wouldn't be able to reopen in a month. "OMG, we're all being persecuted!"

I really hope that Fauci or someone else from the public health agencies will eventually speak out on what actually happened during the pandemic, because you just know that they were under extreme pressure from the Trump regime. It's the only good explanation for why none of the professionals in those agencies spoke out more at the time about Trump's total botching of the pandemic response in the US.
