I want to be clear that I 100% blame Trump for the scale of the spread of covid-19 and the catastrophically slow response to it. This was his fault. This was not something "nobody could have predicted", 170 other countries have it and are handling it better than we are.
Faced with overwhelming evidence that it was going to be a huge problem he ignored it, then took ineffective action, then downplayed it, then spread false information about it, then further delayed effective action, and now is acting like there was nothing he could have done.
Hundreds of thousands of people are going to die and I can already see a media narrative forming that blaming them all on him is unrealistic but we can blame 90% of them on him and that's still hundreds of thousands of people dead because he doesn't know how to lead.
