I hear these comments a lot about Trump - vax, operation warp speed, covid relief. It’s valuable to add context to these Trump failings. For example, with the internal bureaucracy of DC sabotaging Trump, the MSM rabidly attacking him 24-7, and in the midst of their great pandemic how exactly was he supposed to fire Fauci, Birx, et.al. And how exactly would the CDC/NIH/FDA swamp have responded if he had?

Why should he not assume that in the midst of this health emergency, the public health agencies and doctors that are supposed to protect Americans were corrupt. He foolishly believed (as I did) that American Exceptionalism would apply itself to this crisis - just as it did throughout the country’s history. His entire term was an X-ray that exposed the ineptitude, corruption, and banality that now characterizes our government and society.
