Add in the failure of Trump to provide adequate separation at the large airports of NYC for the American he was evacuating from around the world. Trump brought the virus home.

His failure to act and act early has been understated IMO. Think this through as if you are POTUS:
- he became POTUS and quickly eliminated the pandemic team. That decision was his.
- he knew about China and had the best intel much earlier than the public. He brushed it off as not urgent.
- instead of taking stock of all available vital supplies, he actually continued to give billions worth to China, all while publicly claiming CV was a nothingburger
- over several weeks while knowing the virus was starting to spread, he continued to claim there was no issue and spent this valuable time golfing and attacking the media
- he did no coordinating with states as cases began to pop up
- there was never a plan and there still isn't
- the press conferences have become a substitute for his rallies, Americans are getting nothing but lies from him
- President Notmyfault continues to point the finger at anyone but himself and has declared he takes no responsibility
- any action on his part to help has been forced and not well organized. States are still not getting the support they need.
My question is - knowing this, how can anyone claim that he has handled this well?
