You’re giving them too much credit for being clueless. Especially the Trump administration. Look at the people on that team: evangelicals hoping for the end of the world so their Savior can return, self-made billionaires pushing personal agendas, crypto grifters treating policy like a pump-and-dump scheme… This wasn’t just random chaos — they knew exactly what they were doing.

But I agree with you: The Covid pandemic seems to genuinely have overwhelmed governments worldwide.
