Was Trump Tricked Into Lockdowns or Not? -the most catastrophic public-health decision in modern history (brownstone.org)

Was Trump Tricked Into Lockdowns or Not? ? Brownstone Institute
How do we know for sure that Trump was not selling his advisors on lockdowns rather than that reverse? We do not actually know that.

Trump never implemented any lockdowns.

If I was. Republican in the primary debates this is what I’d attack Trump with. That he handed the country over to Fauci

This will likely be what DeSantis mainly attacks Trump on. The other thing will be Trump's poor personnel selection skills.

I think this two pronged strategy will be effective with many Republican voters.

It obviously will have no effect on the die-hard Trump 2024ers who unfortunately worship this man.

This approach would work on the soft leaning Trump supporters but it would have no dent on the specific subset that somehow believes he was the greatest leader in all of history.

A good example of this type of individual is Larry Schwiekart.

Larry is actually decently versed in history and he still completely worships Trump.

These people would be best described as cultists. They actually believe Trump is a genius with 200 IQ.

They don't operate in reality and they cannot be won over.

Who didn't fire Fauci and Birx?

Trump

Who held the original national press conference about only 15 days to slow the spread?

Trump

You Trump 2024ers cannot run away from this truth.

Trump let Fauci and Birx play him and he lacked the guts to fire them.

Handing the country over to Fauci and authorizing Operation Warpspeed was the worst part of Trump's entire tenure in the Presidency.

Trump's conduct since March of 2020 destroyed his legacy.

Also he should’ve invoked the insurrection act during Floyd riots. Especially after the stupid mayors did nothing so as not to appear racist

I love how Trump supporters try to make excuses for his bad policies.

Trump had strongly socialist tendencies as long as "dear leader" was him.

Trump also aggressively watches polls & the "fake news" and tries to get on the popular side of every issue.

Yup. I still think Trump did a comparatively good job, and even still has value - I wish he didn't, and we could all move on - but his ego is insane and unhealthy, and the man has no loyalty, and few principles. I do think Trump likes America, but Trump's primary concern is and always will be Trump. He can't be trusted.

Who was in charge of Operation Warp Speed?

Did Birx claim to have lied to Trump in her book?

Was Trump surrounded by subversive agents?

Fantastic breakdown thank you.

I wonder if Pence got his own briefings through Operation Warp Speed? Was he also lacking candor? Seems like he remained stoic and aloof during the emerging events.

Matt Mowers ran for NH Congressional District 1 in 2022 and he lost in the primary to Karoline Leavitt.

Karoline Leavitt then lost the general election to Chris Pappas

Mowers might run again for this house seat in 2024. He must be stopped again.

Mowers is responsible for promoting one half of the nightmare Birx/Fauci duo.

I don’t think he was tricked into lockdowns, but he was tricked into a false understanding of the severity of the virus. That was perfect for him because he loved being able to act like a white knight riding in to save everyone from it.

I supported Trump, but the left was never wrong about his massive ego. It’s even more evident with his actions lately. The thing is when the choice is a massive ego that wants to better the country and any of the most corrupt scum of trash coming out of the DNC, of course I’m going to choose the ego, because at least it doesn’t want to actively destroy everything.
