Many of the president's otherwise loyal supporters have suffered because of a vaccine he pushed. This video assesses Trump's actions on 8 different fronts from the onset of COVID-19 to the present.
I strongly recommend the non-fiction book The Hot Zone by Richard Preston and the fiction book The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton. Having both as part of one's background knowledge really helps to mitigate against the white coat phenomenon that most people have when it comes to placing overdue trust in the government scientific apparatus.
I remember that by May of 2020 that the news reporting, including what I was seeing from scientific and medical sources, was so disjoined, contradictory, agenda driven, and/or hair-on fire sensational that I had completely lost the thread of what was actually going on. Now imagine yourself being Trump surrounded by 1.) scientists who don't know what is going on 2.) elected bureaucrats who really don't know anything about science 3.) scientists that have a false philosophical worldview and understanding of humanity 4.) people actively trying to undermine the presidency 5.) opertunitis 6.) incompetents 7.) yes men 8.) a few good apples. Given all that, I think Trump did an excellent job in steering the course. It is not perfect but I was very impressed that he would keep pivoting based on what was happening and worked to seal international movement (though he was stymied) and left things up to the governors for the most part. I was very impressed that he did not stop interstate travel, which is something he could have done, and that I thought was coming.
At the end of the video, you listed a bunch of things that Trump is weak on compare to DeSantis. Non of that though will come up in the debates because the such topics are forbidden to be spoken of -- they can get you kicked off YouTube/Twitter/etc. Trump's position on those various issues is seen to be the more moderate wrong think position, and any focus on those issues will only bolster Trump's chances in the eyes of the media, which is something that they don't want. I think that Trump is being very astute in positioning himself (by picking a few small "fights" with "extremist" DeSantis) to position himself as the more moderate peace candidate for 2024. Peace because he, if he is smart, will run on bringing peace to the Ukrainian Civil War.
The real issue that I see with Covid (and I think Trump is picking up on this with his recent transgender talk) is how it has revealed that a lot of people, and institutional organs, don't view humans as individuals with individual rights anymore. Rather they are components of the human organism and there for doing herd inoculation procedures, medical experimentation, biological and sociological engineering, is perfectly ok because the individual only has meaning and purpose insofar as it is a productive member of the human socitial organism. It has also revealed just how much St. John Paul II's theology and clergy who promoted it have been purged from the organs of the Vatican. But that is a different rabbit hole all together.
