Tbh, Trump was never the type of President to play an active role in legislating, in drafting bills and stuff.
He's more of an agenda-setter type than someone for the details. Detractors could call him "cheerleader-in-chief". ;)
Honestly, I'm happy if he stays out of this. He wouldnt be able to provide substantial input for specific provisions of such a bill, and his mere presence would only increase partisanship and toxicity.
He's too uninformed about everything to have a positive influence on things. He's also terrible at empathy so he can't do press conference very well and reassure the public.
Basically Trump would be close to my last choice ever on my list of "People to have as a leader during a crisis". Especially one where you can't just say "We'll go to war against our enemies".
