Trump is a lot more concerned with political fallout than in actually doing something to help people and stop the spread of he pandemic. You think he would have at least put an actual doctor in charge... but he hasn't. I am not even sure he has any doctor(s) on the his team to deal with it.
He does, thankfully. Dr. Fauci seems to be Republican leaning, but he is an MD and a scientist.
