Trump politicised Covid-19 despite knowing how deadly and easily transmitted it was as he revealed on the Bob Woodward calls.
Even as he was reading out the CDC's mask guidelines he stressed they were optional and he wouldn't be wearing one. That simple act ensured that his most loyal followers would not follow the guidelines. He even had his vaccine in secret and didn't publicise it.
Monkey see, monkey do is very apt here and if Trump had even an ounce of leadership in him he could have saved thousands of lives by setting an example.
I was never a fan of his before he became president, but since he announced his run my distain for him has turned to outright hate and in all honesty, if he died today it would immediately make the world a safer and better place.
He's as close to a human equivalent of Pandoras box as I can think of in the way that he has legitimised the unleashing of so many ills into the public psyche and society in general.
