You make these statements as if the left and the media wouldn't LOVE for him to do this so they could instantly brand him a dictator and an authoritarian of the highest order. Hell, they went after him for deploying federal agents to protect one courthouse in Portland. You honestly think the man could deploy the freaking military to lock down cities and the country? Every liberal on Twitter would be an expert on Posse Comitatus overnight, for crying out loud.
The point is that Trump is not smart enough to deploy federal power appropriately. If he viewed COVID as a real threat he would have broad national emergencies powers to deploy federal employees, military, and national guard as he saw fit to maintain public health. This includes arresting people who gather in large groups.... with appropriately large fines.
The left may have whined and complained.... but if Trump had properly viewed COVID as a national emergency and taken measures to effectively eliminate it appropriately then he would have looked like a hero going in the November election.... instead of a complete failure.
However Trump was not smart enough to grasp an opportunity to properly guide a national level COVID response -- in fact he made a decision to push it off on the states since it was only impacting blue states at the time and he thought it would help his re-election chances. He failed to understand that eventually COVID was going to impact red states badly -- despite being told this.
The problem is that Trump still not take the COVID pandemic seriously.
