Many models had assumed 1.5-2 million people dead, even factoring in full social distancing. Various hysterics on this board were saying half the country would be wiped out.
But one strong, decisive leader stood up and said " not on my watch".

Not many models assumed 1.5-2 million dead in the USA. And Trump isn't social distancing. I am.
He didn't do anything for me.
I don't believe anyone said half the country would be dead.
Thank goodness the President is saving us! Especially for those of us in Illinois who have a Governor who does nothing at all for us. JB is too busy finding new ways to take our money from us now when we need it the most and expecting the President of America to do his job for him when it comes to this virus
Trump is not a hero here. Nor is he the cause. He's been mediocre at best dealing with this. But to be fair, in our lifetimes no POTUS has ever dealt with a pandemic, so there isn't any benchmark to judge him against. I think there is a better chance that some who liked Trump before Covid-19 might feel lesser about him, and those who didn't like him before the virus will dislike him as much if not more than before. I'd be hard pressed to believe that he would get prior detractors to all of the sudden be by his side due solely to his response to this pandemic.

Great point! Trump is the leader we needed in this terrible crisis and will lead us through to its end.

What is your baseline?
If he had started taking this seriously when everyone else did, he would have saved a lot more lives, so you could count how many he has cost us.
But if you set your baseline as to when he (finally) started being an effective follower, rather than a misinformed, disruptive "leader", then yeah, he's come around and saved some lives compared to the trajectory he was on.
I wish he had done better in the beginning, but I'm glad he's finally coming around. Still don't like him, and still think he could be doing a much better job, but certainly he's doing better than HE was doing a month or two ago.
