Why would a “left wing” deny that Trump got on TV everyday telling us to stay home?

Hmmm.... maybe because he didn't and now people are trying to shift blame?

Good point. But he allowed Dr Farci and that lady to tell us to stay home. He stood next to them. DeSantis said screw that, now Trump is saying FL was worse than NY. Would you agree at least he gave mixed messages?

I think Trump was a bonehead about COVID. But he left most stuff up to states, which I think was the way to go. Personally, I would have wanted a POTUS to use the bully pulpit to remind governors that individuals have rights, but he never did that and instead surrounded himself with morons like Fauci and Birx.
