He was captain of the ship, so he's responsible for what happens on his watch.
The question is; what where his actions? Did he actually shut the states down? Not exactly. His administration gave the states guidelines to follow, but as I understand it, they were not binding. The governors had the final authority.
Was he initially fooled by Fauci and that bunch? Yes, I think so. But weren't we all? We were hit by something that was like it came from a scyfi movie, and the nation was terrified, we looked to the "experts" for answers. We know now that many of those answers were wrong, but we didn't at the time. We were just trying to survive.
Did he go along with congress on the crazy spending? Yes, he did. But I wonder if he really had a choice? We saw what they did to him over silly remarks about bleach; just imagine had he vetoed all the emergency spending measures.
I have to wonder if anyone in that position would have done things much differently? What would a President DeSantis done differently? Probably very little; DeSantis initially locked things down too. We were all fooled because we were scared. Had it been a Democrat in office, I suspect the Constitution would have been suspended and we would have been under marshal law.
How long are we going to blame Trump for everything? It makes the Democrats happy.
