Trump was counting on a low jobless rate to propel him to re-election. Faced with a pandemic that would necessarily require job-killing measures to contain it, he reacted, as he usually does, like a toddler, and denied the existence of the problem. Which made such denial an article of faith among the MAGA crowd. Which it has remained ever since.
Without Trump, the pandemic never would have been politicized. Was the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 ever politicized like this?!
