By telling people to no wear masks ? :drool:
No, but he was constantly blasted for not listening to the experts, not taking the virus seriously, not coordinating a proper government response - and that he therefore bears responsibility for the high case and death numbers in the U.S.
If all sorts of European countries whose governments did listen to the expert, did take the virus seriously and did a good job organizing their countries' public health response now get overrun by the second wave of coronavirus nontheless, then that shows that we overestimated the influence governments have over the trajectory of the pandemic.
Now, I consider it likely that the U.S. will also see a full-throttled second wave quite soon when it gets colder in the South too. But for the moment, for perhaps the first time since the pandemic begun, the U.S. is coming out ahead when juxtaposed with the EU.
