The answer to that question is ridiculously long.
That you would ask that question suggests you wouldn't believe the answer.

I don't know if anyone else wants to waste time on answering...

Some reading would answer it if there was a legitimate quest for the answer.

As stated before, your question has been answered in a number of different ways at a number of different steps along the way.

Rephrasing from "not a failure" to "define success" doesn't really change anything.

You haven't seen the answer yet, you won't see it when someone reiterates it specifically for you.

Pretending the only person who can give you this answer is Spey is... juvenile at best.

Obtuse: annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand.

So let's be clear.

According to victor since a subject has been brought up previously and opinions have been stated, one should not ask a specific person to answer a question in regards to a statement they make.

Do you even hear yourself?
The person who has given new meaning to the term ad nauseam is telling other people when they can or can't ask a question.

Holy f'king sh*t you're stupid.

I'm curious how you define "fail" in this case.

What would a different leader have done that wouldn't be considered failure?

When Trump shut down all flights from China, was that a leader acting early or xenophobic?

I can’t recall.

Mhmmm. This isn't "a subject" This has been 98.2% of all news coverage the past 2 weeks.

You aren't actually looking for an answer. Nothing anyone says to answer your question would be accepted. Don't get all butthurt because I'm pointing that out.

You want to pretend you haven't been exposed to any number of news articles identifying things twitler did wrong in his response to the pandemic. And now you are pretending you don't understand the concept of "do the opposite of that." or "do the thing they criticized him for not doing".

It's tiring under the best conditions. This little play acting you're doing now strains credibility to the breaking point.

In fairness, the crisis is still at hand and on going. Lots of time to succeed or fail.

So far, the decision to act early, give consistent information and be aligned with scientific experts has been consummate failures on his part. Called it a hoax, did.

A better leader would have acted early, been aligned with experts and not shot his mouth off like an idiot.

January 31st

The Trump administration on Friday dramatically escalated its response to the fast-spreading coronavirus epidemic by announcing quarantines and major travel restrictions that officials said were meant to limit contagion.

The measures, which could affect thousands of people around the world, represented a marked expansion of the federal government’s response after initially downplaying potential risks.

The White House declared a “public health emergency” and — beginning on Sunday at 5 p.m. — will bar non-U.S. citizens who recently visited China from entering the United States, subject to a few exemptions. Shortly after the White House announced the new restrictions and said there were six confirmed U.S. cases, a seventh case was confirmed in Santa Clara County, Calif.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar also said the Trump administration would quarantine any Americans who had visited China’s Hubei province, where the disease originated, within the past 14 days. The government will also require screening and self-quarantines for all other Americans who recently visited any other parts of China. Officials said the self-quarantine rules would require individuals to stay in their homes for a certain length of time, monitor themselves for certain symptoms such as coughing, and check their temperatures and report them to local health officials.

I was asking the same person who introduced an opinion about Trump failing.
The fact that you refuse to admit this shows your burning desire to be nothing better than a troll.
