No-win? People love firm leadership in a time of crisis. It was almost a no-lose, but Trump found a way. If he had reluctantly accepted basic public health measures from the start or even pivoted into them when things got serious ("Stop the China Virus!

Instead, 3 years later, half the country believes that masks are tyrannical government oppression and IR thermometers are gulag training.
