   The list of what Trump could have done differently, such that his response   
   wasn't an abject and total fuck-up, continues to grow.   
      
   * not fail to screen passengers returning from China and Europe   
   * not fail to put a *comprehensive* travel ban in place, rather than a racist   
      one aimed only at Chinese   
   * not throw out *two* pandemic playbooks (one from Bush, one from Obama)   
   * not downplay it   
   * not lie to the American people about it   
   * not thwart public health experts   
   * not put his incompetent crook of a son-in-law in charge of COVID response   
   * not hold and promote super-spreader events   
   * not fail to ensure the "national stockpile" of medical supplies was fully   
   stocked   
   * not advocated injecting COVID-19 patients with disinfectants   
   * not allow the virus to run wild because he stupidly thought it was only   
      going to hit blue states that he lost very hard   
   * not blame Obama for having "broken" coronavirus tests, when the virus didn't   
      emerge until three years after Obama left office and Trump usurped it   
      
      
   Every single one of those was a Trump failure.  His entire response was a   
   failure.  This is not in rational dispute.
