A new perspective on the Covidian Cult's beginnings is offered by Dr. Scott Atlas. There's a reason that you don't hear much about the book from such as Bannon and Navarro, nor even the Chubby Chipmunk occupying the FoxNews slot following Tucker.
Atlas really lays it out in lavender. The review is here. A couple of bits:
...Former Vice President Mike Pence should never, ever, never, ever, never hold public office anywhere free again. A do-gooder spewer of Bible verses as clichés, but with no discernment and even less courage. He hung the country/truth out to dry so he could play Grover Dill to Birx's Scott Farkus....
We already knew about Pence's well-polished facade which surrounds a very empty vessel.
The MSM gets its just desserts....
...media really is the “enemy of the people.” This is the one prophetic thing Trump said as president and the most prophetic thing any president has said since Reagan called the Soviets "the evil empire." There's prison soap scum, rusted homeless sidewalk poop in San Francisco, and then there's them....
( Just ask Ron Johnson!)
As to Trump, Dr. Atlas confirms my impression:
...He's portrayed as a political prisoner by the very staff he surrounded himself with. His basic instincts were often right, but his craven instinct to hire based on anything other than sincere conviction made him Caesar and too much of the White House staff Brutus.
Trump's staff really thought they were going to win the election without truly confronting the heart of the matter and then could just clean it all up after the fact. Throughout the book they repeat "don't rock the boat" as some kind of magic incantation or pagan mantra. They became slaves to the very enemy media they claimed their boss had defeated, and then Trump neutered himself by following their lead. Never once in the book does Trump pre-emptively overrule his staff, but he just delegates all serious responsibility to total hacks....
Now you know why Navarro never really talks about this book. Yes, it was all about re-election; they thought they could take Covid off the table and win. Instead, they put Covid front-and-center with the daily pressers, the (Mengele-like) Fauci and the 'loony' Birx--and with the help of massive election fraud in six States, they lost the gamble.
In the end, Trump lost his Trump-ness--or rather, gave it away to the campaign- and political-types.
Too bad.

WOW....excellent review, and I agree with EVERY point. And the biggest and worst area where Trump got TOTALLY rick-rolled was the 'not-a-vax' deathjabs....he OWNS them, and all their fetted, malignant, deadly effects....and his out of control ego will not allow him to admit it, no matter how much data and evidence rack up. He just keeps pushing the poison with pride and encouragement. I said when these things first rolled out that this would be his undoing. I sure hope Desantis runs...Trump's lost all appeal for me.
Gotta read that book.
