How you would handle COVID differently? He banned travel from China, a move that everyone called him xenophobic for, he ushered Operation Warp speed, a move that helped provide the world with three separate vaccines, and he left the policy of how to deal with COVID to the individual states, a move that somehow got him labelled authoritarian.

Well for one, in the press conference when he announced the CDC's recommendation to wear cloth masks, he emphasized that it was a voluntary measure and then added he wasn't going to do it. People look to their leaders for guidance. How many people refused to wear a mask despite the CDC's recommendation because the president felt the need to throw in his own opinion with his experts' recommendations.
