I believe, on information and direct evidence, #Trump was predisposed to fail at #COVID19:
• False identity of a medical science expert
• Switch theory when expertise is debunked
• Scapegoating to protect perceived expert status.
• Lie like hell when totally wrong.
To begin

There are a number of self-help books etc. that help people "sound like an expert". For example, "Interested in presenting yourself as an expert?" by Ken Gaebler at https://www.walkersands.com/how-to-sound-like-an-expert/

#Trump, influenced by expert sounding #RushLimbaugh and @seanhannity, flipped from supporting climate change to calling it a #climatehoax.
