The prediction was not unreasonable, at that time.

In the sense that other willfully ignorant dipshits were saying the same thing, you're right that it wasn't unreasonable. But in terms of every single one of his own medical experts saying the direct opposite of his blind and baseless optimism, it actually was an unreasonable claim. Every informed person predicted today's situation.

Much fewer than 15 people had it, at the time. No one knew how it was going to play out.

Precisely 15 people had it at the time. And literally every expert was saying it was going to get much worse. That's why Trump's bizarre prediction made headlines.

...no. Having performed almost no tests, we found several cases. Just due to the contagious nature of the disease, by the time we could confirm there were 15 cases there were hundreds or thousands of undiagnosed cases in the US. He didn't understand that despite being briefed by many doctors because he is quite possibly the stupidest person to ever hold federal elected office.

Not to mention he had no political background, when elected. It's almost like... He was unqualified or something...

That's true but even a minimally competent businessman would be able to understand the basics of how people get sick and the potential consequences of that. He just decided that if he canceled flights to China and did some kind of half-assed travel ban the virus would dissipate. The ol' "shut the barn door after the horse got out" strategy. Works every time.

American infections now over 300,000. It's almost like Trump has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to scientific matters.

Oh wait, you weren't actually parodying a moron? Very well, I'll walk you through it. The American president doesn't need to be a scientist. Or an economist. Or a lawyer. Or a general. Or a military strategist. He just needs to listen to those people and follow their informed advice, rather than thinking he knows better than all of them.

No, a system of informed people advising the president on a vast range of subjects he can't be expected to know. Or you prefer a dictatorship?

I'm guessing OP wanted capable experts running things instead of a rotating clown show of unqualified family members and campaign donors. That doesn't sound like an outrageous demand.
