Neither did the other parents who watched their children die in their arms while the powers that be allow Chinese/Mexican fentanyl to cross the border unchecked. Trump forced the Chinese to make incremental differences around fentanyl in exchange for trade measures and sanctions.
Trump also understood that threats should be handled proportional to their importance. Coronavirus is not our first priority when two million people die per year from preventable causes like obesity and heart disease. The media spends ten times as much time driving the population into a frenzy about coronavirus as they should, probably because the pharmaceutical companies benefit from the large scale suffering and changes in policy it ensures. Trump didn't give into the pressure, so the media and big pharma targeted Trump even though it lost them other advertisers.
