Trump doesn't know the difference between bullying, which he's good at, and leadership, which he's inept at. Anything requiring real leadership, like mounting a Covid response, is far outside his skillset, so he didn't even try. Not to mention that Covid didn't fit his pre-chosen political narrative. I don't think that he gets that it's impossible to bend facts (like alternative facts) to his will, judging by his dumber than sh!t challenges to the several state's elections.
