I understand what you're saying, but I don't think, at the time, he could do anything else. Most of the country was under the spell of this horrible and dangerous virus coming after them. The Deep State was bent on scaring everyone inside, and if you remember, they were talking about it being 10 years before a vaccine. Only looking back can we think of other things that could/should have been done. Trump was still playing in the the Deep State arena, as we all still are even today. I bet privately, now, he sees things he could have done differently, but when you're in the moment, well, you're in the moment.

I dont care if whatever was actually happening was as bad as the propaganda, there is zero justification for anything that was done. How can justify de-facto martial law for any reason ever? Maybe if he showed an ounce of remorse and actually owned up to the destruction he caused, I may feel different, but he did everything right and he saved the world according to him. All the destroyed lives and deaths from his policies are ignored by him. Trump cares about Trump, nothing more.
