A quick summation:
No coordinated national strategy on dealing with CV-19 and reducing transmission.
Trump proclaimed that he took no responsibility for the virus handling and infections.
Apparently Jared came up with the blame the governors approach when the disease was largely confined to NY, CA, NJ, MA and a few other Blue states. Stupidly without realizing it'd be heading to Red states soon enough, and be even worse there since the Trump Admin politicized masks and other precautions.
Cynically they figured Trump could take credit if the disease was contained, and dodge it if/when it wasn't because he decided not to be involved. Reportedly the main goal was to protect stock market valuation -- that's right, to protect wealthy people's wealth over average people's health.
