Arguing that masks are ineffective maybe? If you think wearing a mask will protect you, it won’t, he was right about that. But it will protect others a little bit if you are sick, that’s what they’re for. We didn’t have enough PPE and Trump was stealing it and sending it to Russia, I figure he emphasized that masks don’t work so that n95 PPE (which would prevent infection) could be reserved for hospitals.
His mistakes are human. Nothing that should ever have tarnished his legacy. But propaganda is real.
What mistakes though.

That’s exactly right. He made a mistake about the strategy. It happens. I still think the US is better for his having been in his role.
