Trump kept telling us that there was no shortage of tests, which was a complete lie. And he kept telling us there were few cases and things were under control, when you can't tell that without a huge number of tests, which we did not have.
As far as treating the pandemic as serious, he dismissed it as minor, until his speech a week ago. He has been a lot better since then. But if he had done things right from the beginning, we would be in a much better situation now, and we might have been able to contain it.
