Why did Donald Trump want Americans to die of COVID-19 by not telling us how dangerous it is and doing nothing to protect public health?

"Woodward book: Trump says he knew coronavirus was ‘deadly’ and worse than the flu while intentionally misleading Americans" - Washington Post, 09/09/20, by Robert Costa and Philip Rucker

The story includes audio recordings of Donald Trump (speaking to Bob Woodward) being willfully negligent with the public health of the American people.

He is totally incompetent and has to go.

He chose to error on the side of caution at that time.  Little was known about the virus and there was conflicting info among some experts. Trump did not want to create panic by way of a knee-jerk sound of alarm. It did not take him much time to take appropriate action once he had more information.  He was called a racist by Democrat leaders for shutting down travel between China and the U.S.....the same leaders who told Americans that it was okay to go to Chinatown and eat out in restaurants....etc.  China and the WHO need to pay dearly for their collusion in withholding information on the severity and spread of the disease until it was....to late.

Reported for obvious lying.

He didn't.  It was the democrats who weren't so busy trying to impeach Trump were the ones who downplayed the seriousness.  https://twitter.com/i/status/1245385767729463297
