Your argument assumes that Trump’s was a scientific know it all on virology. That is laughable!!!
Fauci and his big Pharma cohorts grossly misled Trump. The University of Washington study was complete garbage. Fauci was lying from the beginning when he said there was no evidence that Covid (SARS CoV-2 virus, its full name) had human to human transmission. At the time, it was known that Covid was a variant (85-90% same DNA and spike protein) of the SARS virus, which was known to have human to human transmission. The anti-Trump liberals came up with the “hug a Chinese “ movement all the while telling us to space ourselves 6 feet apart in public and stay indoors.
