   When Trump admitted how serious the threat of the virus was way back in   
   January, he could have started talking to the nation and making   
   recommendations supported by the scientists.  Instead he chose to lie to   
   the public, saying it was just the flu and it would soon go away.  If he   
   had made a national recommendation for masks and social distancing back   
   in February/March we would not have 200,000 deaths and rising now.   
   Instead he downplayed the recommendations for masks, etc.  Had he just   
   suggested serious national policy and guidelines, many more people would   
   still be alive.   
      
   A good example of his lack of support for good policy is his recent   
   rallies where people were crowded indoors in close quarters, resulting   
   in infections and death for some.  When asked why he did not ask for   
   mask wearing, etc.  his response was "I was completely safe, well away   
   from anyone else", making it very clear that he cares little for his   
   followers and only cares about himself.
