What was Trump's role in the COVID era?

Debbie Lerman is a Brownstone Institue fellow and has a really good Substack. More specifically, her article, The Catastrophic COVID Convergence - Revisited, is the foundation of our conversation.

The COVID pandemic was a fabrication—case counts inflated by flawed PCR tests, deaths mislabeled to scare the masses.

— Mike Yeadon, former vice president, Pfizer

The gist of her article is that the fake pandemic caused a catastrophic convergence of chronic disease, opioid addiction and fear-driven policies like lockdowns and school closures worsened everybody's health, especially those with pre-existing conditions.

Something I've often wondered is Donald Trump's involvement. Was he playing noughts and crosses while the deep state was playing chess? In other words, how much did he actually know and who, exactly, was making the decisions?

The military’s fingerprints are on COVID—bioweapons research and lockdowns scream coordinated control, not public safety.

— Francis Boyle, bioweapons law expert

Debbie's research dovetails with that of Sasha Latypova who argues that COVID-19 was not a biological event but a military operation, which I find quite persuasive.

Debbie's basic questions

Why was Trump influenced by the National Security Council, military and central intelligence?
Where did the 'Chinese lab' narrative come from?
Who made the decision to invoke the Stafford Act in all 50 states simultaneously, placing FEMA in charge of the pandemic response instead of HHS?
Why didn’t Trump follow the advice of Scott Atlas if, as stated in his book, Trump largely agreed with his anti-lockdown recomendations?
Why was Deborah Birx hired and why did she have more control than Trump?
Why did Trump execute Operation Warp Speed and constantly promote the jab?

Now that he is president again, why is he still promoting vaccines? Is he a blockhead who isn't reading the room or is he being directed by deep state actors?

At this stage of the game, there is no way he can claim ignorance. He must know what's going on.
