I'm not ignoring the masks, I'm saying that's not anywhere in the same ballpark as holding five campaign rallies in a two-week span with no safety precautions after admitting that this is a serious disease, and discouraging testing for months because it made his numbers look bad.
It's not that hard to imagine a president of the United States being a calming influence on the nation while also promoting responsibility by his actions. You can even be wrong about things like masks and gloves in the beginning so long as the overall narrative is to be careful, not to distrust anyone who has anything bad to say about you.
Who are you trying to fool here?
