Steve, if Mr. Trump got something wrong, he was probably less wrong than many other people. Presently it is accepted that the virus has been manufactured in a Wuhan lab, a project financed in part by American taxpayers.
I read some of the fact-checks lines, he criticized Fauci but apparently he had a reason, since Fauci was later held publicly accountable, and needed a presidential pardon by Mr. Biden

You talk about the ineptitude of Trump's strategies, but everything is relative. If he's been inept, his rival Biden has been much worse than inept with the historical apocalyptic withdrawal from Afghanistan, also leaving to the Talebans an unspeakable value in armaments, compliments of the American taxpayers.
The facts do not appear to support the idea that Mr. Trump is an inept person, he's rather a business man and politician with all his conspicuous flaws, but apparently he has been chosen by the celestial powers to drag America out of the state of cosmic lunacy the extreme left managed incredibly to create in this country. I would have never believed it possible, that America would have been turned into such a bulwark of crazy ideologies. The power of Satan is strong. But the power of the legions of God at least in this stage has prevailed.
mccoy you are always telling me that my points have not been proven. And your proclamation that it has been generally accepted, is not a valid accepted truth. Although as you know and we both agree upon the underhanded and malevolence of the communist government of China; we still do not have proof that they created the virus or that there were labs built for that purpose. Since Donald Trump has a penchant for taking revenge on his opponents, and defamation of character that has later proven to be unjustified, many of his perceived enemies were pardoned before he came into office this time around.
In fact we only need to look back at the right wing policies of the Republicans during the Bush/Cheney years to understand the danger of public persuasion to cause unjustified war. There were never found any weapons of mass destruction that were a pretext to start a war with Saddam Hussein but the same reactionary politicians that support Trump today supported Bush and Cheney in the Iraq war and Afghanistan war in the past.
