So, what is it that Trump should have done differently?

[Pat Mustard]

First Trump was a xenophobe for overreacting, now he didn't respond early enough...  Hehehe only in America

The only thing he did early is a travel ban.

And even at that his travel ban happened after the airlines were closing off flights to China, was selectively applied (remember how he kept flights open to the UK which was already looking to be the worst affected of the European because of the idiotic "herd immunity" {in reality a let poor people die plan} strategy for no other reason than BoJo the Clown likes licking his arse) and lead to a panic rush of US citizens flooding back into unprepared airports because the Trump regime had so badly fucked up the testing strategy.

It's not a good sign when your one decisive action looks almost designed to make things worse.
