It's impossible to separate the current state of COVID from the inaction of the Trump administration. He absolutely bears responsibility as the leader of the country, and you know this. Cases are ramping up and only will continue given the retarded stance of school reopening. Look at retarded Florida and retarded Texas.
Incredible how Biden has gained so much simply from laying in the cut and letting this maniacal criminal bury himself. Trump still may win, but the amount of self-sabotage is a level of retard that only he could attain.
The cognitive test bragging was stupid. Trump doesn't need to brag that he's coherent, people can see that he's not Biden. It's like bragging that you passed a test for sanity.
However, you're wrong about COVID being as bad as it is because of "inaction" by Trump. There was nothing Trump could have done. There is scientific and statistical evidence everywhere that the value of masking is greatly exaggerated, that each metro area will basically be hard-hit once (NY/Seattle had theirs early, Texas/Florida/others are having theirs now), and that keeping everything indefinitely shut down just accomplishes delaying the inevitable.
Remember, the point was to flatten the curve, not to prevent a curve from occurring. It is not realistic to assume we will have a vaccine or treatment any time soon, and we can't just leave everything closed for 12+ months.
There's more discussion of this stuff in the coronavirus thread here, but you get my point. A lot of Dems are idiotically saying, "Trump no wear mask, Trump no good leader, COVID-19 bad in US, this all big orange man fault!"
Total oversimplification, and in fact downright inaccurate.
Show me a major area where you feel Trump messed up COVID and it had a consequence, and I'll show you respected statistical/scientific data to the contrary. COVID-19 was going to be really bad here, regardless of who was in charge.
Trump needs to get that message out.
He could start by at least showing that Democrats were for the 60,000+ packed-in-people protests, and then show the evidence that it created COVID-19 spikes in some places like Los Angeles. At the very least, it will start to sow seeds of doubt that this is his fault.
Right now he's kind of just sitting and letting people say it's his fault, and his few denials of it ("We have one of the lowest death rates") are simply inaccurate/untrue.
