Trump did not lock Florida down. I live here. That was a STATE decision by DeSantis to close the beaches for a short time (and then deny he'd done it later on). Churches never locked down unless they did so on their own. Again, our church never closed down for one day. If the county you live in is liberal enough to have done that.....that's a local decision. But TRUMP never made the states lock down. If there's a sound byte out there that I missed where he ordered states to shut down, please post it. Thanks!

I hear ya. But I did not say that Trump initiated the c19 response in FL. Indeed it was DeSantis.

And that's my point.

I moved to Sarasota from CA in May of 20 because I have children. Floridians will never understand how bad it was in the Clampdown states....and people in Clampdown states will never understand what it was like to be free at that time.

His mistake was allowing the 15 days to be extended another 30. Game over.

It was his decision and his decision alone. He has some responsibility.
