For me, the worst part about Trumps involvement in this was that even when he realized the course he took was the wrong one (sometime in June/July), he continued it based on the advice of a youngster (Jared K). Supposedly, Jared thought it would hurt his reelection chances. So you have two sins there - listening to someone without sufficient wisdom and experience and no expertise in epidemics (although he is plenty smart), and basing your decision on politics instead of evidence. And he put Pence, a vacuous, shallow, cliche machine, in charge of the COVID task force.

Trump totally effed the management of the COVID scamdemic.
