The central point was mentioned in the opening post: "While President Donald Trump played down concerns about the coronavirus in January and February, a top White House adviser warned that a coronavirus pandemic could cost the country trillions of dollars and endanger millions of Americans, according to two new reports." This is very central point and it shows that his statements about having it under control were not expressions of actual knowledge but wishful thinking. He knew the consequences could be severe if he had listened. He knew very many lives could be lost when he downplayed the severity of all of this. While you do have some points with regard to the angle being a bit too harsh with the statement that this proves the pandemic could be foreseen I do not see how one can avoid the point that Trump was making statements that he had very good reason to doubt when he claimed it was under control. You need to be sure when making statements like that and other statements he made to downplay all of this.
With regard to what he has done I am thankful for the information and would be interested in seeing any sources for the claims made.
