It was obvious what we needed to do by the end of January, and Trump's advisers were shouting it out to him as loud as they could. Trump however, is unequipped, by his nature, to take this on. He doesn't have a proper appreciation for science, research and analysis. He has a short attention span. Perhaps part of it was pursuit of his self interest, spouting a line that he thought would help the stock market and the economy and his chances for re-election early on by minimizing the perception of the danger from this.
